  The Language of Food: More Than Just Taste Food — it’s the universal love language. Whether it’s your mom’s homemade parathas, a bowl of Italian pasta, or the aroma of sizzling street food, every bite tells a story. Across the world, food connects people, preserves traditions, and fuels creativity. 🌿 Food as Culture Every culture expresses itself through its cuisine. Indian thalis represent diversity and balance; Japanese sushi highlights simplicity and precision; Mediterranean meals celebrate freshness and health. A simple recipe can reflect centuries of history and geography — from spices carried along the Silk Route to indigenous grains rediscovered by modern chefs. Food is memory. The smell of roasted cumin might remind you of your grandmother’s kitchen; a cup of chai can bring back the comfort of evening conversations. It’s not just what we eat — it’s who we are. 🧠 The Science Behind Flavor Ever wondered why certain foods taste so satisfying together? There’s a beaut...

  The Earth Called. She Wants Her AC Back. Once upon a scorching Tuesday morning in 2025 , I opened my weather app and saw something horrifying. It said, “Feels like: oven preheated to 450°F.” I wasn’t sure if I should step outside or bake cookies on the sidewalk. That’s when it hit me — climate change isn’t coming. It already arrived, unpacked its bags, and started eating chips on our couch. ☀️ Chapter 1: The Great Meltdown (And I Don’t Mean Emotional) Remember when summers used to mean mangoes, vacations, and mild sweat? Now it means—melting makeup, power cuts, and your AC sounding like it’s crying for help. Polar bears are holding protest signs, penguins are Googling “cheap flights to Antarctica (still frozen?),” and meanwhile, we humans are arguing online about whose fault it is. Spoiler alert: It’s ours. 🌧️ Chapter 2: The Monsoon Mood Swings Rain used to be romantic — now it’s either “Oops, no rain at all” or “Surprise! Here's your annual flood.” One minute y...

  Life in September 2025: After the Floods in India 🌊🇮🇳 September 2025 feels heavier than usual. The monsoon has ended, but its scars remain. India has once again witnessed floods across several states—rivers overflowing, villages submerged, and millions displaced. The rains have left behind not just water, but silence, loss, and resilience. Streets That Became Rivers In cities, the rains blurred the line between road and river. Cars floated like abandoned boats, power lines dangled dangerously, and metro services stopped for days. For families who lost their homes, “normal life” has become a distant dream. Schools that should have reopened in September now function as relief camps. Rural India: The Double Burden For farmers, the floods didn’t just wash away homes—they washed away hope. Standing crops of paddy, maize, and sugarcane have been flattened. Livestock drowned, fields are still waterlogged, and with them, an entire season of income is gone. Rural children are walk...
