@htTweets

Today's #RunForThindi column for @htTweets features Asha Tiffin, the recently opened place in Whitefield. Hands down, the best place for masal dosE and keaaribhath! Finally, about damn time, Whitefield got a *good* darshini like place.

Thank you @saffrontrail for sharing the place :D
Located in AECS layout, at the end of the "cherry blossom" street. They have parking space as well.

The layout etc is similar to Taaza thindi. Font, signs, style of service, all that. Good Masal dosE for 30 bucks? Sign me up!

Gari gari vadE, ✅
Probably made with a machine, but tastes good!
Chutney is good, sambar is good!
Love the plate :)

Chow chow bath is good! The kharabhath tastes more like a broken rava bisibelebhath. But their Kesari bhath is great! Light, just the right amount of sweetness, chunks of pineapple, undertones of clove and cashew :) terrific Stuff!

Heard 4 ppl speaking in Kannada over coffee. Something about a plot of land and ippat laksha. Finally felt like proper Bangalore 🙈😬🔥❤️
Kaapi is inconsistent. But decent overall when you ask for strong kaapi.

Aaaaaand the masal dosE. Reasonably crisp on the outside. Bit soft on the inside. Nice and golden. The consistency dosE after dosE hasn't hit taaza thindi levels, but good stuff!

Damn right this is Bangalore. No sambar with nammooru style Masal dosE. And it is dosE not dosa ;)

Good place, good food, good ambience, good vibes. Feels good ❤️

Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Assam for some (business critical) work. It was draining physically (factory, most days were 40C+ and 90%+ humidity. Once our work was done, my colleagues & I decided to travel a bit on our day off. I thought I'd share some pics :)

But first, getting into Assam. I insist on a window seat, so I get to see the mighty Brahmaputra. And its tributaries in all its glory. The views are spectacular!

The lush green landscape, tea gardens are a gorgeous sight to behold :)

This is an appreciation tweet. For a (imho) underappreciated genre.
The Marathi dhinchak/DJ songs.
When it comes to foot taping music, we are usually associated with Bhangra. But dappankuthu songs are a class of their own. And these Marathi numbers. Truly fast and fantastic!

Exhibit 1. Dolbywalya DJ.
P.S: I don't have a clue about the lyrics (although there is an 'appadi podu' somewhere in the song ;)) but the music and the energy is terrific!

The super popular Zingat.

34.
I had moved into a new job after facing a toxic work environment.
I had gone through a spectrum of emotions. Ranging from resignation to fate to 'hey I'm better off than many people so let me not complain'.
I was still figuring life out. I wanted a child. Travel the world.

Do things for my spouse. My family.
Amidst the shitstorm, there were things to look forward to.
34 is when a lot of people are figuring life out.

After getting into a frame of mind where there is a shred of empowerment to decide things for them selves after being force fed

societal norms for almost 75% of those 34 years from 'well wishers'.
Study well. These are your career paths. These are your life paths. Marry on time. Have kids on time. Buy a house. Save. Close loans. Invest in savings. Invest in retirement plan. Save now. You can spend later.
