Wow. So, he can still run for president? 😳 What's there to celebrate then?
Convicted criminals can run for office in India too. Democracy and stuff. Was thinking that maybe it's better in the US. Looks like that isn't the case.
Two things I miss most about Calcutta - mangoes and kathi rolls. The latter I've been able to fix on trips - and occasionally (like today after a long time) - at home!
Egg chicken rolls for dinner! (Ersatz but quite happy with how they turned out! )
Trick is to use a teeny bit of beet noon (beet salt; aka black salt, kala namak) to finish
@SRDas On my first visit to Kolkata in 1996, my cousin at Jadavpur University, "You don't know 'rolls'? We'll get you rolls." That was my introduction to 'rolls' - I didn’t even know they were called 'kathi' rolls. 🙂
Before that, I had never seen or had one in Delhi or other parts of India, could it be said that 'Rolls' originated in Kolkata?
/Rolls = Now a common NorthIndian street food lingo. Like Egg roll, Chicken roll, Paneer roll..and so on :D

@carlmalamud Went out on such a day back in school days. The headlines read "Hottest day recorded after independence". Looks like it's the norm in recent years (Delhi i.e.) 🥹
#Covid#Lockdown days. Picking up his wife for a final check up from a quarantine center and maintaining social distance - Mizo style 😁 Checking if she's comfortable is the cute part. #Archives
Got tomatillos coz together with the plastic bag of chilies they were $5 at Alemany. I am gonna follow this aunty's recipe for Salsa verde coz she is doing all the things I like (boiling garlic + adding raw garlic, making tomatillo pieces chonky). Though – after that burning hand I experienced all of last night cutting these chillies for freezing – I am not gonna add as many chilies.
Billionaires can get laws written in just weeks since they get distressed by it. Remember this the next time they say they cannot do anything to address climate change or poverty.
Also, remember this law exists because of the newly minted billionaire Taylor Swift.
