@IndiGo6E What's going on with your servers? My flight last week from Hyd was delayed by more than an hour due to a server failure & now I can't web chk in/ download a boarding pass because of a system error. Customer care says there's nothing they can do!

This super piece by @ElazarSontag on the state of SF's restaurant culture holds true for Bombay too. “It’s simply too expensive to take risks in the Bay now.”

I don’t normally do this but the service at @IndiGo6E today was ridiculous. Checked in 6 hrs prior to my flight, but was forced to take another, much later flight from Bom>Goa because my check in did not reflect in their system, AFTER the website said check-in successful
After asking to be put on the next flight at 19:45, I was told I can only be put on the 22:30 flight, because the earlier one was on a different sector. But it’s the same airline!! @IndiGo6E this is unnecessary harassment caused due to a technical error from your website.

Happy to say that I was an honoured recipient of the glorious tiramisu @Saumya_Ancheri discovered last year. And it was just what I needed that day😻😻
'The thread that tied 2020 really—my guilty pleasure—was my lockdown project of finding the best pepperoni pizza and tiramisu that would deliver to my home in Bandra, Mumbai.' CNT's @Saumya_Ancheri shares her findings. cntraveller.in/story/notes-y…

A story very dear to my heart! Congratulations, Rosh! This is such a fantastic read ✨ @RoshniBajaj
I cooked three meals for five people every day over the last year, and then I wrote about it.
Thank you @MenonSmitha @diviathani @CNTIndia for getting me to document my 2020 kitchen life.
Thank you @toutress for your lovely, gentle, and perfect edits.

Thinking about turning vegetarian? Read my piece for @CNTIndia first 🌱
'We may not be able to save the planet with our personal diets alone, but eating more consciously will certainly help build a more sustainable future,' writes CNT's @MenonSmitha. cntraveller.in/story/food-th…

@aqnguyen Hi Andrea! I would like to touch base for a story I'm working on for Conde Nast Traveller. Would it be possible to get your contact details, please?
Had a blast chatting with these two about what it’s like to run a restaurant in Bombay for a decade!
'Hard fact: running a restaurant requires deep pockets.' @gauridetails and Jay Yousuf tell it like it is, in a chat with @MenonSmitha. cntraveller.in/story/the-tab…

Beautiful story by @radhika_iy on this slice of Bombay history. Go read!
When Mark Twain arrived in Bombay for his lecture tour in 1896, he stayed at Watson’s Hotel. “[I]n the dining-room [was] every man’s own private native servant standing behind his chair, and dressed for a part in the Arabian Nights," he wrote. cntraveller.in/story/mumbai-…
Got the scoop on the new whisky in town 🥃

@thatdoggonelady put together this lovely piece for us about the Goan consoada and the many sweet wonders of the Goan Catholic Christmas table. Go read! 🎄
'Each year, the consoada tray is proof of the cooking skills of the household. It’s offered to visitors, sent to the homes of families in mourning (since they do not prepare festive sweets), non-Catholic neighbours and friends,' writes @thatdoggonelady.

It’s back! Bombay peeps, what are you waiting for?
"Possibly the first-of-its-kind in India, the #MasqueLab is an inspired investment... In today’s market, the Masque Lab is a bold and wildly ambitious passion project. We’re rooting for it, for our own gluttonous reasons." — @MenonSmitha for @CNTIndia cntraveller.in/story/mumbai-…
The term “Sindhi Papad” means so much more than you think. Read @ShahaniShradha’s delightful story in @CNTIndia today #papadisanemotion
Ever taunted your #Sindhi friend for eating too much papad? The irony is that the same papad saved many livelihoods affected by displacement during Partition. My story for @CNTIndia

For #WorldMentalHealthDay, I spoke to chefs, restaurateurs and others in the industry to understand the pressures of the kitchen & how the pandemic can help rewrite kitchen culture in India
'As businesses close and cases rise, I think we are going to see a much larger problem when it comes to mental health.' cntraveller.in/story/india-r…
