Rukmini Vasanth did much better Bharatanatyam than her in Kantara: Chapter 1 😌

I have heard of a Zomato loophole which is so simple, terrifying and Zomato should be losing sleep over it
A person orders 1 roti on Zomato. ₹40.
Then he calls the restaurant directly 6 rotis, paneer butter masala, malai chaap, dal makhani, gulab jamun and pays them on UPI.
Tells the restaurant to pack everything with that 1 roti Zomato order.
The Zomato rider picks it up. Delivers home. No clue that ₹1,200 of food is riding shotgun with a ₹40 order.
He’s using Zomato’s app. Zomato’s rider. Zomato’s entire logistics network and paying zero commission on 90% of his bill.
It’s cheaper than booking directly from Porter and restaurant.
The restaurant loves it. Full margin, no 25 to 30% Zomato cut.
The customer loves it. No platform fee. No surge. No GST on the hidden portion.
Zomato? Quietly subsidising the entire operation.
And here’s the part nobody’s talking about this isn’t one rogue customer. Restaurants are in on it. They may be whispering this tip to regulars to keep them off the app.
If this spreads, the unit economics of food delivery don’t just dip they bleed out from the inside.
Zomato needs to plug this loophole. This is exploitation of the system. Zomato MUST do something to stop this.
Have you seen this happening in your area?

An old man in our neighborhood died today. He was hospitalized with chest pain three days ago, underwent angioplasty, but passed away in the ICU. His wife had died during the COVID wave, and he had been living alone since then.
His only son lives in Australia and couldn’t come to see his father. Now, I’m not saying that the son is uncaring or abandoned his parents. I don’t know him. Maybe he is really a nice man. The elderly couple used to visit him every year and spend a few months with him. But maybe once you build a life outside, you can’t really come back. Life, distance, responsibilities, things become complicated.
The son hadn’t come to India in nearly 10 years. He couldn’t come for his mother’s last rites due to COVID travel restrictions, and I don’t even know if he’ll be able to come now or will have to arrange his father’s last rites from there itself.
This has stayed with me all day. To think of an old man spending his final years largely alone, losing his partner, and then leaving this world without his son by his side. Even as an unrelated observer, the whole thing feels unbearably sad.

I grew up reading Mrinal Pande’s columns in Hindi newspapers, and I have long admired her writing and intellect. Which is precisely why this needs to be called out.
What she wrote about Aishwarya Rai is sexist, regressive, and deeply disappointing. It is body-shaming and in bad taste, plain and simple. At a time when we are trying to move beyond judging women by their appearance, comments about a woman’s weight, face, or “lost beauty” feel unnecessary and patriarchal.
Who cares whether Aishwarya weighs 40 kilos or 60? The most admirable thing is that she appears completely comfortable in her own skin. In an age where there is immense pressure on women to conform to unrealistic beauty standards, that confidence should be celebrated, not mocked.
And then there is the comparison with Rakhi Sawant. Calling either of them caricatures is neither insightful nor funny. If anything, Rakhi is one of the funniest people on the internet. She may say things that don’t always make sense, but she is an easy target who is often dismissed without being understood. Both Rakhi and Aishwarya are self-made women who have carved out their own space despite relentless scrutiny.
When respected public intellectuals make remarks like these, they end up sounding no different from online trolls. Such sad observations diminish the conversation rather than enrich it.
Aishwarya is aging, as all of us do. I am told she has also been dealing with health issues that are common among people in their late 40s and early 50s. Not everyone can, or should, be expected to look the way they did in their 20s or 30s. We need to accept and embrace that reality.
The saddest part is that these comments are coming from a woman many young journalists, both women and men, look up to.
@MrinalPande1 ji, this was insensitive and uninformed. It deserves an apology.

Why would indians claim a random paki actress who didn’t get to walk on red carpet when we have our iconic Aishwarya rai who gets welcomed by head of the cannes himself on the red carpet every year.
