‘I am ashamed': Indian traveller shares eye-opening post after visiting Malaysia
An Indian traveller's honest reflection after visiting Kuala Lumpur has sparked a conversation online. The man expressed admiration for Malaysia while comparing it to India. Sharing his experience on Reddit, the anonymous Indian man wrote a post titled 'Just back from Kuala Lumpur and I'm ashamed,' describing how an impromptu trip to Malaysia completely changed his perspective on Indian civic sense and governance. Sharing his experience on Reddit, the anonymous Indian man wrote a post titled 'Just back from Kuala Lumpur and I'm ashamed."(Representational) The user claimed that last-minute travel changes made him choose Malaysia over Vietnam, and even though he visited the country with 'very low expectations," he was left stunned. 'Kuala Lumpur looked very well planned and organised. No potholes on roads, no politicians' photos or banners, cleanliness everywhere, top-class civic sense, great quality of life, clean air and helpful people,' he wrote. What struck him even more was the stark contrast to Indian cities. 'I have always advocated against the idea of Indians settling abroad but suddenly I felt bad for those foreigners who visit India for vacations or the NRIs who have to return due to various reasons,' he admitted. He claimed that Indians appear to have given up on government and municipal bodies and despite resources and potential, most citizens are left to struggle for basic amenities. 'We are too distracted among ourselves over petty issues and find happiness and joy in our IPL or T20 wins, worshipping celebrities or celebrating our favourite politician without ever holding them accountable," he added. 'Honestly, I have kind of lost hope and seeing the present circumstances, the goal looks very far away.' The post resonated with many online, prompting conversations about the gap between India's potential and the day-to-day reality for most Indians. "I'm just happy you can now be a voice of independently verified reason in your society. Good job! This is why travelling is important," remarked one user. Another added, "I was one of those who never wanted to leave India. Went to Germany for a business trip. My whole view on abroad changed. The safety. The air. The quality of food."

Mango takes the cake: How king of fruits continues to reign over hearts and palates
New Delhi, It tastes like the Indian summer and feels like nostalgia. Mango, at least for Indians, is much more than a fruit, it's an emotion. Yet, its true power, with over "1,400 varieties" across the world, lies in its unrivalled versatility. Mango takes the cake: How king of fruits continues to reign over hearts and palates Because, according to experts, from street snacks to gourmet dishes, the mango doesn't just fit in it reinvents itself, season after season, all while holding its own and its crown as the undisputed king of fruits. Not for nothing, every year without a miss, it is raining mango festivals in the town, celebrating the beloved fruit in all its glorious forms a privilege reserved for only the rarest of fruits. Chef Naresh Kotwal, head chef at Ikk Panjab, describes it best when he calls mango a "bridge between nostalgia and innovation". "It's like that one guest who blends in effortlessly, no matter the gathering. Its dual nature sweet and lush when ripe, tart and punchy when raw gives it a wide canvas to play on," said Kotwal, who recently curated "Dawat-e-Aam", a celebration of mango's many moods. The festival explored the fruit's versatility through desi innovations ranging from 'Aam Kasundi Paneer Tikka' and 'Aam aur Aloo ki Tikki' to 'Raw Mango Kachumber' and 'Mango Lachha Salad', capturing flavours that were sweet, tangy, spicy, and even smoky. The love for this stone fruit in India can quite literally be measured in millions of tonnes. According to "Mango: A Global History" by Constance L Kirker and Mary Newman, which cites data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, India produced nearly half of the world's mangoes — over 24 million tonnes — in 2020 alone. Despite this staggering output, the book notes that only around 1,73,000 tonnes were exported, with nearly 30 percent headed to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. "The rest are used for domestic consumption," claims the book, a telling testament to just how deeply mango is woven into the fabric of Indian life. But then mango isn't just a national obsession, the Indian sub-continent gift to the world adapts beautifully across borders and cuisines from Thai mango sticky rice to Mexican mango with chili-lime salt. This fusion of global flavors with Indian mangoes is now a staple at high-end restaurants, where well-travelled diners crave the best of both worlds — gourmet innovation and desi nostalgia. Chef Kaushik Mishra of Taj Mahal, New Delhi, notes how "built-in balance of sugar and acidity" in mango helps it complement bold spices, herbs, and even dairy. He showcases it at Captain's Cellar in the Taj Mahal, the 'Mango Sushi' jasmine rice with Alphonso, served with a soy-coconut dip — bridging Asian precision with Indian nostalgia, and at Machan, where the 'Mango Roll' and 'Mango Custard Danish' offer both freshness and indulgence in one bite. "It cools chili heat in Thai salads, enhances masalas in Indian chutneys, brightens Mexican snacks, and adds velvet richness to European desserts. Whether it's a salad or a dessert, mango adapts with quiet confidence across cuisines and cultures. Machan also serves seasonal special for breakfast which is Mango Custard Danish, in addition to a variety of fresh mangoes," added Mishra. Echoing Mishra's sentiments is Chef Shantanu Mehrotra, executive chef at Indian Accent, Delhi. A fan of classics like 'Aamras poori', 'Mango with sticky rice', and even a spicy 'Picante' with mango juice, Mehrotra believes the possibilities with this sinful fruit are simply endless. For a more innovative take, he points to the 'Meetha Achar Pork Spare Ribs' on the restaurant's menu — a bold dish where pork ribs are tossed in a sweet and sour mango 'chunda' pickle. "You can add any number of things to it, and mango will still make them shine while holding its own distinct flavour. Add chillies, sprinkle rock salt, pair it with seafood or with jasmine rice to make a classic mango sticky rice — the possibilities are endless," he explained. Beyond the plate, mango makes itself count in the glass too. So, when Jones Elish, Beverage Head at Impresario Hospitality, crafted the "Mango Map" — a cocktail journey through global drinking cultures linked by mango's versatility — it was an instant hit across Smoke House Deli outlets pan-India. From a raw mango and spice concoction inspired by Mexico to a smooth mango-whiskey blend nodding to Ireland, the fruit took the center stage confidently adapting effortlessly to every flavour profile. "It pairs effortlessly with a variety of spirits, herbs, and bitters, adapting its mood depending on where you want the drink to go; tropical, spiced, citrus-forward, or creamy and indulgent... In each drink, it sets the stage, balances the flavours, and leaves a lasting impression," he said. Raising the bar further, Radico Khaitan Limited — one of India's largest IMFL companies — also recently launched a new range of flavoured vodka, with Alphonso Mango as a tribute to India's favourite summer fruit. Beyond its flavour, chefs believe that what truly adds to the mango's irresistible charm is its fleeting nature the fact that it is seasonal and only available during a limited window each year While some, like Chef Mishra, admit that dehydrated mango can work well for garnishes or infusions and that preserves too have their place, most agree that nothing compares to the joy of the real thing, in its season. "We like to mix things up and keep it exciting, and when there's no good mango in the season, we just move on and wait for the next one,' said Mehrotra. So, while other fruits may have their moment jackfruit as a meat substitute or guava in fine dining desserts — surpassing mango in both artistry and versatility remains a tall order. Or as chef Kotwal puts it: "Mango doesn't just sit on the throne it dances, dazzles, and disappears, leaving you wanting more".

Made tough choice to close fast-fashion delivery startup Blip: Co-founder Ansh Agarwal
New Delhi, Jul 13 (PTI) Bengaluru-based startup Blip, which was into fast fashion delivery, has been shut down, co-founder Ansh Agarwal said in a LinkedIn post, citing limited capital and go-to-market challenges. Blip offered 30-minute doorstep delivery of the latest fashion apparel and accessories in Bengaluru, and its closure highlights the broader strain on early-stage innovation for startups, as they face harsh funding realities, despite promising growth narratives of the quick commerce space. In the backdrop of cautious investor sentiments and fierce competition, new ventures, overall, struggle to scale up and face operational challenges within the country's evolving startup ecosystem. Among the prominent startups that have shut down over the last one year are Koo, touted as an Indian replica of Twitter, now X (that blamed failed attempts at partnerships and harsh funding winter for its closure), and Nithin Kamath-backed edtech Stoa School. "Update: We are shutting down Blip after building for over a year. We have finally called it a day. While we continue to believe in this space, bootstrapping the business with limited capital made it extremely difficult for us to participate in the market," Agarwal wrote in a post. The Blip model, being different from the rest, did a lot of first-in-market implementations that took its own time to convince stakeholders. It affected a go-to-market strategy and "slowed things considerably down for us", he said. "The result of limited working capital and failure to implement our go-to-market in an efficient manner, it didn't make sense for us to continue, and hence, we had to make a difficult choice to shut blip down," he said. Agarwal conceded that he personally continues to believe in the space and understands the need for verticalisation of quick-commerce in general. "Sadly, it won't be us. I am extremely proud of what we did at blip. Being first in the market and changing the narratives with the resources we had kept me awake at night, but it was all worth it," he further said. Thanking co-founder Sarvesh Kedia, Agarwal said he couldn't have asked for a better partner, one who could take anything thrown at him, with rigour.
