Thread.

I lost my phone this morning.
iPhone 12 mini, which I’ve had for about 2 years.

I was going up the escalator at the Versova Metro station, when I reached into my bag and had my ‘waitaminute where the fuck is my phone???!’ moment.
Heart sank. I’d come in a ‘sharing Rikshaw’ from Versova jetty to the Metro station.
I knew the driver would have taken a U-turn to the Rikshaw stand on the opposite side of the road, to ferry passengers back to the jetty.

I turned around and ran hoping hard that he’d still be there! 🤞🏽

Okay #Patna it is!
Home to two of the best museums in India, did you know? Now please tell me what to eat and where to eat it?
Litti - Chokha - Goja - Khaja - Balushahi - Anarsa on the list. And I’m told Mutton at the Champaran Meat Houses? More to add to the list. Not complaining. 😁

Because I shoot food-shows all over the country, I come across some incredible traditional kitchens and bartan. This is in a village in the mountains of Tons Valley in Garhwal. I love the kanse ke bartan. And just look at those two-ended tools in the last pic! Ingenious. Some more bartan from the same mountain village in the Tons Valley. Garhwal is where both the Ganga & Yamuna take birth, the Tons is the third great river that took birth there & believed to have - according to local myths, at one time, hit the plains and become the Saraswati.
