Here's a thread 🧵 of all the food that I had on my 5-day visit to Delhi. A desperate attempt to revisit my old favourites after 322 days of exile - Day 1: After visiting my favouritest spot in the whole city right after getting off my train, went to Chidambarams New Madras Hotel for breakfast, one of the best South Indian restaurants in Delhi in my opinion. Their filter coffee is to die for and their Mysore Masala was

Embarked on an ambitious non-vegetarian food walk in Old Ahmedabad tonight with @SuhasCadambi, here's a 🧵 of everything we had

1. Mutton Samosa from Bera Samosa House

Sold by the kilo, this is one of the most popular shops in the city. The mutton was extremely soft, which contrasted extremely well with the thin and crunchy outer layer of the samosa, which resembles its vegetarian cousin, Navtad Samosas.

I spent the bulk of my day exploring the variety of chaats that Hazratganj has to offer.

Here's a thread of all that I ate on my Day 1 of exploring Lucknow's food -

1. Started the day with Royal Cafe's gigantic Basket Chaat. This was insane, loved the variety of textures and

flavours on offer. A mix of dahi, pomegranate seeds, sev, coriander, aloo, bhalla, chhole and more. And it all blends well together

2. Kesariya Malai Gilori at Ram Asrey - Tried this because its something I've never seen before in my life, and I liked it. Sweet and saffrony

Comprehensive 🧵 on the incompetence of the @BCCI, @IPL, @Paytm, @paytminsider and Gujarat Police that lead to multiple stampedes happening today at the Narendra Modi Stadium, how I almost fainted amongst a raging crowd and had to leave without collecting my tickets. Firstly, the venue. GT set up many centres across the city where one could print their tickets at their convenience. My dad went to a centre 2 minutes away from my sister's school, and had to stand in a queue of just 2 people before printing the ticket.

I arrived in Delhi on 14 February 2022. In little over a year, I have visited 120+ food shops / stalls and sampled approx. 200 different dishes that this city has to offer

Day in the life of an Indian Cricket Fan

- Be me, a passionate fan of the Glorious stadium of Chepauk!
- Live in a dustbowl
- Wake up at 4 am to the 800 runs of Harry Brook on my CricInfo widget
- Eat deep fried vadapav and rama ke chhole bhatuure for breakfast - See my neighbour being executed by the BCCI for making a mild joke about our glorious leader Jay Shah
- Try to go to watch the match but get stuck searching where tickets are sold for the 847th time
- Finally get my tickets the next day

🧵on why Spreadsheet Kumar Yadav >>>>>> Gandhi should be common knowledge. Gandhi below mid in SENA. Got dropped in South Africa despite playing 5 FC seasons there una. Just a home-track bully, Com. Udham Singh clears him. SKY hit 100s in England and New Zealand and smashed South Africa in Australia. Levels to this.
