Chicken Curry (Mustard and Onion)

This is the first proper curry I learned to make, thanks to my friend Sayan (who's a bit of a wizard in the kitchen) and some help from Gemini. It's become my go-to for 750g of chicken. The secret is all in how you handle the curd so it doesn't split and ruin the texture.

I usually get about 3 solid servings out of this. It's great with rice or roti, but honestly, I sometimes just eat it on its own.

escaping the tyranny of the screen

Like many users of the internet I too am a victim of the attention-span-destroying things that live on the Internet.

This has also started affecting my work and other reading skills.

Last year was an exercise is cutting out the crap when it comes to digital presence etc.

Being easy-going and goofy is hard work :(

These are the two main cornerstones of my personality. Like any other coherent consciousness and too feel a tension between intent vs perception

Cooking for friends

For the longest time I wasn't interested in cooking. I only cooked enough to make food edible for myself, and even that felt like a complex project with little return.

After moving to Bangalore and finding my community, I started taking part in shared routines — hanging out, grocery runs, and informal gatherings. I moved to Bangalore to be closer to friends; to have a village you have to be a villager.

Learning to be Human

Ive spent a LOT of time belong alone; not just in the physical sense but also in the psychological sense.
I have become an extremely independent person as a result. This super-power comes with its own problems.

What happened next can only be described as magical.
