Master chef, East Indian style
The East Indian Mobai Gaothan Panchayat has been organising buzzing monthly bazaars at Bandra's St Andrew's College for a while now. At one such bazaar organised last Saturday (which was inaugurated by Dr Fleur D'Souza, historian and former vice principal of St Xavier's College), the Panchayat organised the East Indian Master Chef Contest, with desserts as the theme. Judged by chef, food stylist and author Michael Swamy, the contestants had to present East Indian desserts with a modern twist.

And there were not one but four winners! The contest, which aims to celebrate forgotten recipes, will be a monthly affair, we are told. And the theme for the next month will be snacks.

Dating in the age of Tinder
Indu Harikumar is increasingly gaining a penchant for illustrating compelling stories, that are often a commentary on youth culture. Take the huge success of her #100IndianTinderTales — a 100- day project chronicling crowdsourced Tinder stories from young Indians, for instance.
The artist strikes back with #HowWeDate, another project that throws light on how dating culture is changing, women's adventures on popular dating apps and the choices they make. The stories range from serendipities to heartbreaks to finding friends, love and sometimes yourself, too.
Love food, will travel
That food and travel go hand in hand for Indians is what justifies the never-ending khana that train journeys are made of, or the theplas a desi has atop Mount Titlis in Switzerland. Sealing this love further are the results of a new survey conducted by a travel booking portal, which suggest that 67 per cent Indians select a travel destination for its food. While New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Jaipur and Candolim in Goa have emerged as the top destinations to discover local food in India, Kolkata and Amritsar are the top destinations for street food. What's more, 49 per cent Indian travellers are planning to take a dedicated food tourism trip in 2018. Bon appetit and voyage!
London thumakda for Kajol
It may be over two months to go before her film about a mother-son relationship releases, but Kajol is losing no time in getting the word out, even if that involves travelling overseas. The bubbly actor is in London to promote the movie, which has been co-produced by husband Ajay Devgn, and she is making the most of the medium that has a strong Bollywood connect in the UK. Kajol was spotted at the BBC Asian Network studio with RJ Harpreet Kaur, and popular hosts Raj and Pablo, where they even grooved to a number by Canadian rapper, Drake. From poster launches to comic book appearances, and foreign radio shows — the ever-evolving world of film promotion keeps taking us by surprise.
