Southern comfort
Indian chefs internationally have taken the global spotlight off butter chicken and naan as representative of Indian food, and have rewritten the narrative that the cuisine is only about hitting high notes on the Scoville scale. In the US, South Indian food rules. In 2014, Rasa opened in California, soon winning a Michelin star for its contemporary take on South Indian food, focused on coastal cuisines. It succumbed to the pressures of Covid-19 in 2022, but was resurrected on popular demand in 2024. Godavari, with a focus on Andhra and Telangana food, opened in Boston in 2015, expanding to 22 outlets today in the US alone. Chef Vijay Kumar's Semma opened in New York in 2021 and earned its Michelin star in 2022. Nathai Pirattal (stir-fried snails with mini Kal Dosas) and Chettinad Maan (venison) are among the top sellers here.

India, Pak Conflict Had "Negligible Impact" On Economic Activity: RBI Governor
Mumbai: Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Friday said the India-Pakistan conflict, following the Pahalgam attack in which 26 civilians were killed, had a negligible impact on economic activity. After the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, in which 26 people were killed, Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor and hit terror infrastructure in Pakistan. Indian armed forces on May 7 carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke. In retaliation, Pakistan, too, launched its offensive and bordering districts were affected. "The conflict... had a very, very limited, negligible impact on economic activity. It did have some impact for those days, especially in northern India, airports being closed, air passenger traffic did certainly decrease, but there was no major supply chain disruption, etc," he said. So, he said, it does not have any impact on economic activity, growth, inflation. For few days, he said, "Prices in those regions, those sectors, had gone up, but it has all normalised. It does not have any major impact on the economy." On the recent rise in Covid-19 cases, he said it is not a matter of concern as of now. "I think it has become one of the viruses, and hopefully it should stay like that," he added.

Sydney Sweeney opens up about leaked Euphoria 3 picture, says her character Cassie ‘is worse than ever'
Actor Sydney Sweeney knows how to break the internet in more than one way, sometimes with her roles, other times with everything she does outside the set. While she had started making a name for herself through several TV series such as The Handmaid's Tale, Sharp Objects and Everything Sucks, the gig that transformed her into a household name was her role as Cassie in the HBO series Euphoria. She recently made an appearance on the Tonight Show where she talked about leaks from the upcoming season and gave a small glimpse into what's next. Sweeney, who was talking about her new dog, was put on the spot by Jimmy Fallon when he asked her about Euphoria season 3. She admitted that shooting was underway and that she couldn't reveal anything about the story, but then Jimmy took out a picture that got leaked, reportedly, from the sets of the show. In the picture you can clearly see Sydney in a wedding dress. Sydney said, 'I can neither confirm nor deny that she gets married in the next season. What I can admit is that she is more crazy than ever. She is so much worse than before, but that is everyone's favourite version of her.' She even tried to brush off the rumours by saying that the picture could be AI, but Jimmy was having none of it.

The company launched a limited edition soap that was infused with the actor's bathwater, and while the Anyone But You actor faced some flack over this decision, fans were definitely excited for the product. Even famous YouTube star Mr Beast was hounded with requests by fans to buy them the soap, and he had to ask them to stop. Euphoria premiered in 2019, and the second season of the show came out in 2022. Created by Sam Levinson, the cast of the series also includes Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Alexa Demie, Eric Dane, and Austin Abrams, among others.
