Instagram Head Adam Mosseri Tastes Kaju Katli, Laddoos And More
Adam Mosseri, the head of popular social media platform Instagram, travelled to India recently. His visit made headlines for various reasons, as he interacted with celebrities, content creators, chefs and various media personalities. Recently, a foodie snippet from his India trip went viral on social media. In the clip, Adam Mosseri can be seen trying a few sweet and spicy Indian treats. The tasting took place during his appearance on the podcast 'Moment of Silence' hosted by Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani.
As he played a fun game with the duo, they introduced him to some of the famous snacks and sweets they had laid out in front of him. When the rules of the game obliged him to eat a spicy snack, he asked them which one was the spiciest. They presented him with a bowl of Lay's Magic Masala chips, which they called "iconic." He tasted the potato chip and declared that it was "tasty." His tentative tone made the hosts jokingly ask him, "Did you doubt it?" He replied, "No, I thought it was going to be crazy spicy." After that, he unabashedly ate some more chips.

In the next round, he tasted the famous cashew-based Indian sweet, kaju katli. "It's very tasty," he said as he inspected the delicacy and savoured its flavour. The hosts explained that it is especially eaten during festivals, and that it is often topped with silver leaf (varq). Adam Mosseri noted that it reminded him of Middle Eastern halwa. He restated his appreciation for kaju katli: "It's delicious." Next, he was given a bowl of mini gulab jamuns. The hosts struggled to explain what they are (without using Indian words) and settled on describing them as "deep-fried flour balls in sugar syrup." Adam tasted one and said, "It's almost like a doughnut. But like, completely soaked in sugar."
The hosts then gave him what looked to be motichoor laddoo. As he took a piece in his hand, he noted that it was "very dense." Naina explained that it was because it is made with ghee. She also told him that kids often steal this festive sweet because they like them so much. After tasting the laddoo, he said that he understood why kids would be inclined to do so.

'If he were mine…': Gisele Bündchen's bold claim about Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan's son sparked heavy backlash
Gisele Bündchen's early comments about her bond with Tom Brady's son, Jack, sparked public debate (Image via Instagram) When Gisele Bündchen began dating NFL legend Tom Brady, the timing couldn't have been more delicate. Brady's ex, actress Bridget Moynahan , was pregnant with their son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan—affectionately called Jack. Despite the emotional complexities of the situation, Bündchen quickly embraced her role as a stepmom, something she's been candid about over the years. Gisele Bündchen's emotional bond with Jack raised eyebrows despite her good intentions In a revealing interview in 2009 with Vanity Fair, Gisele Bündchen shared how deeply connected she felt to Jack from the start. 'I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent,' she said. 'I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that's important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he's my son, from the first day. ' Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen (Getty Images) While Bündchen's words were rooted in love, they stirred public debate and drew headlines. Some felt her comments may have crossed emotional boundaries, especially in such a sensitive blended family dynamic. As Vogue noted at the time, many were taken aback, viewing her statement as unintentionally overreaching, even if it came from a sincere place. Bridget Moynahan responded years later with maturity and appreciation Years after the media frenzy, Bridget Moynahan addressed the situation in her 2019 book Our Shoes, Our Selves. Rather than harbor resentment, she emphasized the cooperative parenting environment they had cultivated. 'Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own,' she wrote. 'I don't think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love.' Moynahan's response reflected a profound level of emotional intelligence. Her ability to prioritize her son's well-being over personal feelings helped lay the foundation for a healthy co-parenting relationship—one that eventually evolved into mutual respect and harmony among all parties involved.

Today, their blended family stands as proof that sometimes, grace speaks louder than controversy.

Lord Ram's attire to have traditional fabrics, reflect cultural unity, heritage
In the sanctified precincts of the newly inaugurated Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, a grand cultural and spiritual initiative is taking shape, one that goes beyond the sacred rituals to celebrate the diverse and vibrant textile traditions of India. Just as the child form of Lord Ram (Balak Ram) is adorned with love and simplicity, the attire of Lord Ram in the Ram Darbar will now be a rich display of India's traditional fabrics, creating a tableau of cultural is not merely about changing robes for the deity, the initiative will be a carefully envisioned tribute to India's centuries-old craft heritage. The daily adornment of the deities in the Ram Darbar will now become an immersive journey into India's sartorial past, present, and the Balak Ram idol depicts the gentle innocence of Lord Ram's childhood, the Ram Darbar will portray him in his majestic, royal form—as Maryada Purushottam and the King of Ayodhya. This royal depiction will be complete with symbolic elements such as intricately designed crowns, bejeweled belts, embroidered robes, and fabrics embedded with zari, precious stones, and motifs of divine valor. Renowned costume designer Manish Tiwari, who has been given the task of designing the deity's attire, is also leading the aesthetic vision of Ram Darbar's overall presentation. According to him, the attires will not only capture the grandeur and divinity of Lord Ram's court but will also reflect the soul of India's regional aim is to make devotees feel like they are witnessing the rich cultural landscape of India through the very garments worn by the gods,' says spoke to India Today regarding the details of the dresses. He says, 'One of the key features of this initiative is the inclusion of traditional textiles from different Indian states in the deity's attire. Each day, the fabrics used will blend motifs and techniques from at least two or more regions.' This way, Lord Ram's robe may carry the richness of Banarasi silk and the intricate patterns of Rajasthan's Bandhani on one day, and the regal Kanchipuram silk from Tamil Nadu with Odisha's Sambalpuri weaves on another. This initiative transforms every act of dressing the deity into a statement of India's cultural inclusiveness and a revival of its glorious textile Hindu temple tradition, changing the deity's attire daily is a long-standing practice. The Ram Mandir will take this one step further by aligning each day's attire with a specific color and textile tradition rooted in Indian astrology and spiritual symbolism. These color schemes are not randomly chosen—they are imbued with centuries of cultural significance, often associated with planetary influences and divine attributes. Each day, the Ram Darbar will offer devotees a fresh visual and spiritual experience, tied intrinsically to Indian sensitivity is another key highlight of the Ram Darbar attire design. The fabrics will change not only in color and region but also in texture and material to suit the weather, much like the human wardrobe. Manish says, 'Soft and breathable materials like khadi, mulmul (muslin), and handloom cottons will keep the attire light and comforting during summers. However, heavier, luxurious materials like silk, brocade, pashmina, and wool will dominate the wardrobe during winter.' This approach offers a harmonious blend of devotion, practicality, and artistic discipline. It ensures that the gods are adorned not just with reverence but with an understanding of natural cycles and human Watch
