Food as Autobiography
Volume 3 | Issue 5 [September 2023]

All my life I have had a particular special relationship to food. Taste, texture, colour, fragrance make or break food for me. During some of my life, food was the panacea to all grief; sometimes it was the enemy of what I wanted to look like, and sometimes of what I wanted to feel like; more and more ... — Mallika Sarabhai

Poached Eggs by Farah Ahamed
Volume 3 | Issue 4 [August 2023]

‘Marry me Nuru,’ Jaffer said in his precise, measured tone. ‘Together we’ll build our future in a new Kenya.’ He was standing opposite her desk at the Chambers where she worked. She’d met him several months earlier and they’d struck up a friendship. Nuru had a Pitman’s Secretarial Diploma and a driver’s licence from the first Ladies ... — Farah Ahamed

Deep Fried by Vijayalakshmi Sridhar
Volume 3 | Issue 4 [August 2023]

I spotted him on the 7.20 am local service to Avadi immediately. Pot-like belly that swelled in the front and hung low until his thigh, face bloated with the ears protruding out of the skull. Only the trunk was missing. But his fat arms compensated for the girth and width. Biju looked just like Pillayar or Ganesh, the Hindu God ... — Vijayalakshmi Sridhar

The Vendor of Sweets by Siddharth Chowdhury
Volume 3 | Issue 4 [August 2023]

About a month back I was travelling to Jamshedpur on the Bhubaneshwar Rajdhani for some official work. As the train stopped at the Koderma station in the early morning, I saw out of the window, a food cart with the legend ‘Anukul Misthan Bhandar’ printed at the top. That name, in a flash, took me 40 years back to ... — Siddharth Chowdhury
اردو شاعری میں کھانے پینے کا تصور <br>Volume 3 | Issue 3 [July 2023]

اردو شاعری میں کھانے پینے کا تصور
Volume 3 | Issue 3 [July 2023]

اردو ادب میں شاید ہی کوئی ہوگا جس نے کھانے پینے پر اتنا لکھا ہو جتنا آگرہ میں رہنے والے نذیراکبرآبادی نے لکھا ہے۔ روٹی پر لکھی ہوئی ان کی طویل نظم ’روٹی نامہ‘ آج بھی پڑھی اور سراہی جاتی ہے۔ ان کی اور نظمیں جیسے ’آگرہ کی ککڑیاں‘(جہاں ککڑیوں کو لیلہ کی انگلیوں جیسا بتایا جاتا ہے)، ’تربوز‘،’خربوزے‘، ’سنترے‘، ’نارنگی‘ اور ’جلیبیاں‘ موسم ... — ڈاکٹر رخشندہ جلیل
उर्दू शाइरी में खाना-पीना <br>Volume 3 | Issue 3 [July 2023]

उर्दू शाइरी में खाना-पीना
Volume 3 | Issue 3 [July 2023]

उर्दू साहित्य में शायद ही कोई होगा जिसने खाने पीने पे इतना लिखा हो जितना आगरा में रहने वाले नज़ीर अकबराबादी ने लिखा है। रोटी पे लिखा हुआ उनका लम्बा गीत "रोटिनामा" आज भी पढ़ा और सराहा जाता है। उनकी अन्य रचनाएँ जैसे की "आगरा की ककड़ियाँ "(जहाँ ककड़ियों को लैला की उँगलियों की तुलना दी गयी थी ) , "तरबूज़", "ख़रबूज़े", "संतरे", "नारंगी" और "जलेबियाँ" मौसम के फलों ... — डॉ रख्शंदा जलील

Khaana-peena in Urdu Poetry
Volume 3 | Issue 3 [July 2023]

Perhaps no other Urdu poet has written as much on food as Nazir Akbarabadi, the people’s poet par excellence from Agra. There is, of course his oft-recited ballad on roti, called appropriately enough ‘Rotinama’, but there are also poems entitled ... — Dr. Rakhshanda Jalil
ನನ್ನ ಅಮ್ಮನ ಆಡುಭಾಷೆ<br>Volume 3 | Issue 2 [June 2023]

ನನ್ನ ಅಮ್ಮನ ಆಡುಭಾಷೆ
Volume 3 | Issue 2 [June 2023]

ಪಾಕಶಾಲೆಯೊಂದರ ಸೂತ್ರಧಾರಿಯ ಹಾಗೆ ತನ್ನ ಅಡುಗೆಯ ಕಲೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಖರವಾಗಿ, ನಿಪುಣತೆಯಿಂದ, ಮತ್ತು ಮರುಕವೇ ತೋರದ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯದ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಪ್ರಯೋಗಿಸುತ್ತಾಳೆ ಅಮ್ಮ. ಈಗಲೂ, ಅದೆಷ್ಟು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ನಂತರವೂ, ಅವಳು ಕಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟು ಕೂಡಿಟ್ಟ ಹಣದಿಂದ ಕೊಂಡ, ಅಮೂಲ್ಯವಾದ ನೊರಿಟಾಕೆ ಚೈನಾ ಸೆಟ್ಟುಗಳು ಹಾಗೇ ಭದ್ರವಾಗಿವೆ; ಆ ಗ್ರೇವೀ ಬಟ್ಟಲಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ಒಂದು ಚಕ್ಕೆ ಸಹಿತ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಈ ಕತೆ ಪಾರಂಪರ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಪಡೆದ ಕ್ರಾಕರಿಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಪೂರ್ವ ಪೀಳಿಗೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗಿನ ವಿಡಂಬನೆಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಬದಲಿಗೆ, ... — ಕೀರ್ತನಾ ಕುಮಾರ್
मेरी माँ की ज़बान<br>Volume 3 | Issue 2 [June 2023]

मेरी माँ की ज़बान
Volume 3 | Issue 2 [June 2023]

एक ‘पाक सूत्रधार’ की तरह, मेरी माँ अपनी कला का इस्तेमाल प्रखर सटीकता और कौशल के साथ अडिग सुरुचिपूर्ण तरीके से करती है। इतने बरसों के बाद भी, उसका बेशकीमती नॉरिटाके चाइना सेट, जिसे उसने अपनी मेहनत की कमाई से खरीदा था, अभी भी ज्यों का त्यों है, ऐसा कि शोरबे के बर्तन पर तुड़क का नाम तक नहीं। इसका विरासती क्रॉकरी की विलासिता या पीढ़ीगत व्यंगोक्ति से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है। बल्कि, यह है एक लड़की और उसके सपनों के परिदृश्य के बारे... — कीर्तना कुमार
My Mother’s Tongue <br>Volume 3 | Issue 2 [June 2023]

My Mother’s Tongue
Volume 3 | Issue 2 [June 2023]

Like a culinary sutradhar, my mother wields her art with fierce precision, skill, and unyielding aesthetics. All these years later, her prized Noritake China set that she bought with her hard-earned savings, still lies intact, not so much as a chip on the gravy boat. This has little to do with the luxuries of inherited crockery or generational irony. Rather, it is about a girl and her... — Kirtana Kumar
