Stocking up due to #lockdown21?
Here are a few tips that will help you survive the lockdown.

1. Stock up on basic, nutrient-dense foods

Keep rajma (kidney beans) and chana (chickpeas) handy. “If nothing else, these can always be made into a chaat, as a snack."

2. Some must have masalas:

Powdered haldi (turmeric), dhaniya (coriander), jeera (cumin), mirchi (chilli) and hing (asafoetida), as well as whole mustard and whole jeera.

3. Choose hardy veggies, purée fruits and freeze

Opt for ‘hardy’ ones, which do not perish easily. 

Fruits and vegetables can be puréed, frozen and stored too.

4. Cut the junk, fill your cabinets with ‘healthy’ snacks

Simple dry fruits which are not super expensive like dates, figs etc can be consumed in small quantities.

5. Definitely stock up on cheese because cheese lasts for a long time and helps make a lot of dishes fun.

6. The pots and pans you really need:

Something flat, a tawa or skillet, to make rotis, dosas, or to reheat items; saucepans of different shapes; a couple of ladles and flippers to flip omelettes; a kettle to make tea.

#ExpressFrontPage | While goods trains fall in the exempted category, freight services too were hit as states did not mention ‘Railways’ as essential service in their respective orders.

Scenes at the Delhi-UP border today. Complete failure of State and Central administrations, to not have foreseen this, to not doing anything about this.

Suffice it to say that lockdown would begin in earnest after a week. #CoronvirusLockdown.
Every large State is grappling with reverse migration. Care for migrant labour should be the priority right now. Close coordination between States is a must.

We need to accept the fact that the real lockdown would begin after a week. #CoronavirusLockdown
I may have what one'd call legitimate excuse but the fact is, that when I accuse the governments of not foreseeing the unprecedented reverse migration, I, too, did not foresee it. I don't know how many of you did but I did not. I own up. I am sorry.

The use of a food word was apt because food was one of the most common means of emphasising their humiliating status on Dalits.

Just like Portuguese brought Chili to India in 16th Century, the Mughals brought Gunpowder to India in 16th Century.

Gunpowder was a Chinese invention that Babur brought to India for the first time when he exploded his cannons at the Battle of Panipat in 1526.

The Mughals then brought firing rockets from China as they terrified horses and elephants.

Tipu Sultan made his rockets so effective that the British copied them to make their Congreve rockets that eventually evolved into the rockets used for space exploration.
The bursting of crackers or the firing of guns to celebrate victories or at marriages or other celebrations soon became a Muslim custom Northern India.

Mughal paintings show firecrackers at the grand weddings like those of Nurjahan and Dara Shikoh.

Scientists call this state “behavioral modernity,” or “the full package,” meaning all the things that we consider as part of the human condition: speech, language, consciousness, tool use, art, music, material culture, commerce, agriculture, non‑reproductive sex, and more.
Most animals are sexual beings, and the primary function of sex is to reproduce.

We are a species that devotes enormous resources, effort, and time to touching each other’s genitals.

Out of every 1,000 sexual acts that could result in a baby, only one actually does.
