Why did it turn sad towards the end, deer. I was laughing at daruwala jokes and then.. :(

Great article though. I haven't actually tried many authentic Parsi dishes!

I wanted to reflect the reality and it is sad.

I'm not sure if Parsi cuisine is available on north eastern side, but it is definitely worth trying! :)

My respect for Mr Tata increased manifold when I read 'Tatalog'. What a brilliant, insightful book. :)

This was such a delightful read. :D

No gum under the table - took me back to school days where sometimes you would find such treasured pieces under the table :P

Thanks Megha - happy that you liked it :)

I've read Tatalog too - amazing read!

and I wouldn't call stuck gum a treasured piece. Treasure hunters will be very disappointed after hearing this 🤣

I, too, have often found myself envious of the relationship that Shantanu shared with Mr. Ratan Tata. I held him in the highest regard and looked up to him. This was truly a compelling read.

I agree - Shantanu is one lucky person.

And thank you for your kind words. Glad you liked it :)
