dum maaro dum!
TRANSCRIPT
Between Phoolon ka taaron ka and Dum maaro
Dum, Hare Rama Hare Krishna gave us two of
the most hummable popular songs -perfect
for brother-sister and also the rebel. This
Throwback Thursday, City First tilts the look with
Dev Anand and asks you to ‘swing it’!
believe that with Hare Rama Hare Krishna (HRHK), Dev Anand brought to the front, is his usual style, many issues that
are relevant even today and those which present
society is still grappling with. The impact of a di-vorce on children, extra-marital affair in a mar-riage, westernisation of a society, the predicament of a young person’s search for love and acceptance coming from a broken home, the role of siblings in our life, drugs, ‘rave’ parties and more!
HRHK was released the year I was born, also the year of the Indo-Pak war where Bangladesh was liberated! The movie pro-moted Indian traditional
culture and values as per the storyline but ironi-cally ‘duniya ne humko diya kya… duniya ki parwah karein kyon’ with a ‘high’ Zeenat smoking pot strumming a guitar, is the first image one remem-bers and the ‘rebel’ us within sways with her!
A young, amazingly beautiful, sexy carrying a deep sadness in her eyes, Zeenat ruled the screen in HRHK and Bollywood got its ‘boldest’ star yet! Her disenchantment with the world, vulnerability, mel-
ancholy thread running through her coupled with her innocence touches a chord within each one of us and a sense of protec-tiveness rises for the ‘Jas-bir’ buried beneath the ‘Janice’.
Dev Anand shot the movie extensively in Ne-pal with ‘real’ hippies around Zeenat and though he had asked Mumtaz to do the sister’s role, she opted for the romantic role but frankly didn’t have much to do in the movie. Dev Anand played
the loving brother search-ing for his sister, the last scene where he sings Phoolon ka taaron ka… the audience watches stricken as the horror of realisation descends on the face of young Janice as she reaches into the past and faces what she has become in running away. 50 years on… the movie is worth more than a watch! You will fall in love with Zeenat all over again and I am sure, try to ape the glasses style… once more!

YOUR DAY
Horoscope by Saurabbh Sachdeva
he Indian subconti-nent is famous for many things, one of them being the fla-vour palette and var-iation in the culinary style. It is suggested
that the cuisine of India changes every 100 kilometres, that is, if you travel from one city to another, you will end up surprising your taste buds!
The state of Rajasthan has been a great tourist attrac-tion for many decades now, the interest in visiting an-cient royal palaces is accom-panied by tasting the quintes-sential dessert food. From ‘dal-bati to bajre ki roti & lehsun ki chutney,’ the food is exceptionally flavourful.
One such snack that makes visiting Rajasthan all the more worthwhile is Kachori. You do not need to be living here to know of this delicious and favourite snack of India, after all, it’s been a part of our breakfast and high-tea regime for decades now.
It is said that the Marwari people (of the Marwar re-gion) are responsible for in-venting Kachori – the food of traders. Generations of Mar-waris have been known for trading for business purpos-es. It’s believed that when they travelled to far off areas, they’d often share their love of food with the locals. This is how Kachori, one of their inventions, is now known to the whole country. With time, different versions of Ka-chori, too, got discovered which are now famous from varied regions.
One such famous innova-tion is Stuffed Kachori. While the basics remain the same, the dough of the flour is kneaded and made into small balls, which are then stretched to make hollow from the inside for the show-stopper – that is the filling. The filling can be anything of your choice. Once it is filled, the dough ball is closed and flattened a bit before being
dropped into scalding hot ghee/oil for deep-frying.
Even though there are many known versions of Ka-chori available in the market now, Kota Kachori aka Hing Kachori still steals the show wherever you are. Originat-ing from Kota, Rajasthan, these Kachoris are small and are known to have a good shelf life. The filling is made of urad dal and heeng with red chilli, pepper and salt to blast flavours. It is served with mint chutney and is one of the best tea-time snacks.
The next in line of being the most famous is Pyaaj Ki Kachori. The filling is made of onions and gram flour with spices like red chilli powder, salt, tamarind pow-der and coriander powder. Sweet shops in Jaipur like Rawat Mishthan Bhandar are extremely famous and in high demand for this Kachori.
One might be very sur-prised when visiting Jodhpur because Kachori there is sweet! Yes, the Rajasthanis also made a sweet version that’s called Mawa Ka-chori. The dough is filled with mawa and dry fruits. After deep f r y i n g , the hot Kacho-r i s
are soaked in sugar syrup to sweeten them further. Jodh-pur Mishthan Bhandar is one of the most famous Mawa Ka-chori makers in the state.
Delhi, which is known for its chaat (snacks), has a much different version called the Raj Kachori. Its shell is empty inside and comparatively harder. It is broken from the top to be filled with items like sprouts, boiled potatoes, curd, chutneys, pomegranate, cori-ander and sev (a kind of nam-keen). Raj Kachori is famous for being too filling for one person to finish on their own! No doubt, this variant of Ka-chori has become a staple evening-stroll-time snack for people all over the country.
Spicy Masala Kachori from Gujarat is another sur-prise to your taste buds, it is both sweet and spicy. Ingre-dients like gram flour, pea-nut powder, coconut, fennel, chilli powder, salt, lemon juice and much more are added to make the sweet and savoury filling. The usual style of eating it involves smashing and enjoying its crushed version with curd and boiled potatoes.
Matar Kachori from the Bengal region is a
must-have during the winter
s e a s o n .
Boiled peas are mixed with ginger, heeng, jeera, gram flour, chilli and more to make the filling. Having a strong ginger flavour is why this Kachori is recommended in the cold season. Also, it’s a great tea-time snack that can be served during meals as well with some aloo dom or chana dal.
Paneer Kachori served with aloo ki sabzi or dhaniye ki chutney is popular in Uttar Pradesh. The paneer is mashed with heeng, jeera, ga-ram masala, chilli powder, chat masala and salt. This mixture is filled in dough balls which are later deep-fried. We think the crispy ex-terior and the soft paneer fill-ing is an experience that shall not be missed!
This list can go on and on as there are more variants of Ka-chori in India than ever men-tioned on Google itself ! In case you happen to search on-line, lookup for the non-fried version of Kachori that’s quickly becoming popular as a healthier substitute among the new generation. Call us old school, but we think that the authentic, deep-fried, Gar-ma-garam, Kachori is more appetizing! Who’s with us?
Oh, by the way, there’s an-other theory that believes that Kachori is supposed to have originated in Uttar Pradesh, India. This first ver-sion was a round flattened ball made of fine flour filled
with a stuffing of baked mixture of yellow
moong dal or urad dal, be-s a n , b l a c k
p e p p e r, red chilli pow-
der, salt and other spices. Also, Banar-
asidas, the author of biographical Ard-
hakathanaka, has men-tioned buying Kachoris in Indore (Madhya Pradesh) in 1613. Well, that certainly is an interesting fact! What do you think?

It is not uncommon when the leading soft drinks brands are groped under contro-
versies. Back in the year 2017, Kendall Jenner made headlines when she ap-peared in an advertise-ment for Pepsi and later accused of trivializing Black Lives Matter and police brutality. Another renowned soft drink brand, Coca Cola has been trending lately, or, perhaps falling from its trend, fol-lowed by one small ges-ture of the Portuguese professional footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo. Dur-ing the pre-match press conference for UEFA Euro 2020 held on Monday, Cris-
tiano moved the two bot-tles of Coca Cola which were kept in front of him and held a bottle of wa-ter and replaced them. Perhaps the simple gesture was to encourage a healthy lifestyle, which has cost the company approx $4 billion, as the stakes are now dropping. Among the
line of sponsors, Coca-Cola is one of the official sponsors of Euro 2020.
Cristiano Ronaldo is among the most fol-lowed personality on Instagram, and his
reaction towards shift-ing the bottle of coke has been spreading like wild-fire. Coca Cola has also responded to the incident
and released a state-ment that men-tioned, that eve-ryone Every-one “is enti-tled to their d r i n k prefer-e n c -es”.
