Healthy’ and ‘tasty’ really go together here

Aradhana Janga comes across 'In the Pink', an organic store cum restaurant and finds the thali satisfying and yummy.

When you feel really really satisfied after a meal, it’s worth a mention. "In the Pink" is tucked away on a road where you least expect it; a thoroughfare but maybe you missed noticing it because you were trying to beat the traffic?

But what’s so special about the place anyway? Well, for one it boasts of being "Organic", a restaurant and a store all in one. The store has been around for over a year now and stocks vegetables, bulk rice, lentils, wheat flour etc., as well as organic brand names such as 24 Letter Mantra and Kumaon.

The restaurant opened recently and is spacious. At the moment provides only south Indian thalis for lunch and dinner; north indian thalis will be launched soon.

The restaurant claims their chefs are trained on Ayurvedic cooking style and Indian traditional cooking methods to make the food nutritious and hygienic.

The South Indian meals have everything you could hope for complete with soft pulkas/puris, curry, pakoras, papad, rasam, sambhar, koorma and organic rice in 4 varieties – plain, curd rice, fried rice and pulao. Oh, did I forget to mention a couple of sweets to ensure you go home happy?!

Bag checks and bias: How gated communities can rethink security practices in cities

A study in gated communities in Bengaluru, Chennai and Mumbai flags frisking of domestic workers and brings up questions of dignity and privacy.

Across megacities, workers in gated communities are subjected to checks at entry and exit points. Often excessive and intrusive, these include bag searches, confiscation of items without a gate pass, and, in some cases, pat-downs of workers — practices justified as deterrents against theft. During an anonymous survey, we spoke to 20–30 residents and domestic workers across Bengaluru, and a few communities in Chennai and Mumbai. Respondents across these cities reported “visual cues” of suspicious behaviour that corresponded with these searches. While respondents in the surveys reported no pat-downs in their communities, some employers and domestic workers informally flagged pat-downs…

Road to freedom: How this Chennai shelter empowers women with disabilities

A purpose-built, fully accessible space is helping women reclaim dignity, pursue education and sport, and advocate for systemic change.

When fifty-one-year-old Matilda Fonceca first wheeled herself through the gates of the Better World Shelter for women with disabilities in Chennai, she was not looking for transformation. She simply wanted a safe place to stay. The locomotor disability that has shaped her life since childhood has never stopped her from pursuing independence, yet it has often dictated how society has treated her. Much of her youth was spent moving between NGOs, where she learned early that institutions might make space for her, but rarely with her needs in mind. Before arriving here, Matilda lived an ordinary urban life, working night…
