Chashni and chaos: An ode to the Indian mithai ki dukaan
Hazaaron Khwashein Aisi Ki Har Khwaish Pe Dam Nikle; Bahut Nikle Mere Armaan Lekin Phir Bhi Kam Nikle… – Mirza Ghalib (perhaps, when he could not get his hands on his favourite sohan halwa from Ghantewala) Teej, Rakhi, Janmashtami, each of these festivals has begun to arrive, unabashed and unapologetic. Thus, officially, the great Indian festival season is upon us. During the festive season, every Indian city feels like it has been slow-cooked in desi ghee, garnished with pista, scented with khus-khus, and infused with treacly sweetness. And if you follow your nose through the gullies, you inevitably land up in front of the shrine of all this collective longing: the quintessential Indian sweet shop. The mithai ki dukaan where a rhapsodic symphony of food, craving, and appetite is being whipped up. And lest I have not made myself amply clear: this is not the boutique mithai shop of a five-star hotel, but the kind of sweet shop that exists in every colony and every market. It does not matter what it is called – Aggarwal or Gupta. The name, after all, is just a formality, as the shop is a shape-shifter – the ownership might change, but the items sold remain remarkably the same. Inside, the shop is an olfactory purist's delight (or nightmare, depending on whom you ask). It is a veritable theatre (or assault?) of the senses – stainless steel counters, open trays stacked with rabri or malai-covered melt-in-the-mouth ghevars, and pyramids of choti and badi boondi ke laddoo. There is no line, just a shifting, organic crowd powered by elbows and the ability to holler the loudest. An aunty in a cotton saree, smelling faintly of Pond's talcum powder, has taken the spot you were eyeing – with a look on her face that tells you that she could conquer empires for that last piece of kalakand. Meanwhile, an uncle is explaining to his teenage son the difference between Kaju Katli (unprompted, may I add – it is the oblation of the Gods) and Kaju Roll. The boy nods with the sullen resignation of someone who knows no escape until the box is packed and the invoice settled. A young, newly married couple is tasting samples like it is the cheese bar, nibbling at morsels of barfis, eyes slightly narrowed. There is considerable debate in a hushed tone. The husband prefers 'thoda kam meetha', but the wife rolls her eyes so hard that even Gabbar Singh would be petrified to argue with her. Ultimately, she wins (was there ever any doubt?) and they leave with 1.5 kilos of barfi that neither of them fully agreed upon. Ah, the vagaries of marriage. And then there is that guy, you know, the one on a Bluetooth call, simultaneously placing an order and closing a deal, saying things like, 'Haan bhaiya, teen dabbe aur pack kar do. No, not that. The one with the badam on top. And yes, push the proposal to Monday – Rakhi hai boss'. He is the peak of multitasking masculinity, and you want to both mock and salute him. Behind the counter, the staff is part-human and part-machine. The halwai does not ask what you want because he knows. He has been serving your family since before you could pronounce chamcham, he remembers your brother's engagement order, your grandfather's 70th birthday order, and that time you tried to smuggle away dhodha barfis while coming back from school. He zealously guards the jalebi and imarti trays like they hold state secrets. He packages sweets by slipping in an extra piece if he likes your vibe or looks at you like a concerned elder if you try to buy just 250 grams. And then there is you, caught between nostalgia and neurosis. You are here for a box of gulab jamuns, but somehow, you could not resist picking up mathura ke pede and some delectable besan laddoos. You wonder why you always buy too much, and also why it never feels enough. You leave the shop, already wondering who deserves which piece, and whether you will manage not to eat three gulab jamuns in the parking lot while pretending to make a call. There's something wildly comforting about this mess. No one is pretending here. There are no Instagram-influencer-friendly corners, and no muted palettes that have somehow become associated with a type of faux sophistication which would be laudatory, if not so empty. The local sweet shop is a seasonal portal to who we were and who we pretend to be; a scene of indulgence, and the sangam of taste and memory. It amplifies the idea that mithai in India is an emotional compass. You know exactly where you are in someone's heart, depending on the weight of the mithai box they hand you. A half-kilo? You are just about tolerable. One kilo? You have done something right. Two kilos? They are probably feeling guilty about something. And it is in these small, glowing shops, that the festive glow lives. And you, dear reader, are part of this symphony, coming back every year for another delicacy dripping with redolent chashni.

Who Is Indias Most Famous Ghost Hunter? Talked To Spirits, Later Found Dead Under His Shower; The Reason Behind His Mysterious Death Is...
On July 7, 2016, renowned Indian paranormal investigator Gaurav Tiwari was found dead at his home in Dwarka, leaving fans and the paranormal community stunned. At just 31, he was discovered lying on his bathroom floor with a faint black mark around his neck. While police classified it as a case of asphyxiation, many were skeptical, unwilling to believe it was a straightforward suicide—especially given his mysterious line of work and rising fame. From TV Host to Paranormal Icon Born on September 2, 1984, Gaurav rose to fame as the host of MTV's Girl's Night Out with Rannvijay Singh, where three women braved haunted locations to face supernatural forces. He also appeared in shows like Haunted Weekends with Sunny Leone, Bhoot Aaya, Fear Files, and Haunting: Australia. As the CEO and founder of the Indian Paranormal Society, he became a recognized figure both in India and abroad, investigating ghosts, UFOs, and unexplained phenomena. The Mystery of His Passing Although the post-mortem confirmed death due to asphyxia, speculation swirled about possible foul play. Just a month earlier, Gaurav had confided in his wife about feeling an overpowering negative force pulling him in, something he was finding hard to resist. She dismissed it then, attributing it to work-related pressure. According to Surender Kumar, DCP (South-West), police concluded, 'It is a clear case of suicide. He hanged himself in the bathroom with his wife's dupatta on Thursday night,' as reported to The Times of India.
