🎬 This week’s #RecommendedWatch: Patala Bhairavi
đź“Ť Where to watch: YouTube and Amazon Prime
A story that travelled from folklore to film. Patala Bhairavi draws from Madhira Subbanna Deekshitulu’s Kasi Majili Kathalu, with shades of the classic Aladdin tale woven in.

Sky full of stars.
Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.

Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA

It’s kind of insane that we’re all lucky enough to live on this insignificant blue ball floating in an endless void that can somehow keep us alive indefinitely and yet a huge chunk of people want to ruin it forever in the name of an economic concept that we made up ourselves

Not something I thought would ever happen when I was studying at ACJ in 2016

'Dil, dosti, dilemma' on prime is so refreshing! I was hoping it would be, because it's been sooo long since I watched something light that didn't make me cringe, or didn't trigger me. Very relieved it is good and even more pleased that it's a book adaptation

Doodh Patti Chai is one of the most delicious teas that Old Delhi offers. Tea brewed in one pot, get topped up with sugar (if you want) and kadahi milk separately. You can also ask for malai.
You get an enhanced flavour of tea and a well balanced and naturally sweet milk.

Adding fragrance to food has been in civilization perhaps before we even started understanding the flavours.
From the ancient Persians as far back as 3000 B.C. to ancient Indian, royals to Romans all have been adding aroma plants, musks or flowers to elevate dining experience.

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhandha Ho by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan features @SrBachchan and @ImranKhanPTI sitting next to each other, enjoying the qawwali.
But do you know this song is a literary masterpiece in itself referencing many characters and stories from across faiths/legends?
