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.

ED initiates probe against Mumbai-based firm for alleged fraud of Rs 60 cr

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Chandigarh has launched a money laundering investigation against a Mumbai-based firm, Ankur Drugs and Pharma Limited, and one of its directors, Giriraj Vijayvargiya. The move comes two years after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Chandigarh registered an FIR against the firm for allegedly defrauding Punjab National Bank (PNB) to the tune of Rs 60 crore. The ED has filed an application in the Chandigarh District Court requesting the CBI to hand over all case-related records, including the FIR, chargesheet, and other relevant documents. The CBI had concluded its probe in March this year and filed a chargesheet in the district court. According to the complaint, on July 17, 2023, Nand Kishore Barnwal, chief manager, PNB, approached the CBI alleging that Ankur Drugs and Pharma Limited had, in 2009, sought a short-term loan of Rs 50 crore and a term loan of Rs 30 crore to expand its Baddi unit. The bank eventually sanctioned loans amounting to around Rs 60 crore. However, the company defaulted on repayments, and by 2012, the account was classified as a non-performing asset (NPA) with outstanding dues exceeding Rs 60 crore. The bank alleged that the company had inflated stock values in its stock statements to secure higher credit limits and diverted the sanctioned short-term loan for long-term purposes, in violation of loan conditions. This amounted to a deliberate act of fraud and misuse of funds, the bank claimed. Following the alleged default and misuse, the PNB filed a formal complaint with the CBI, which led to the registration of an FIR against the company and its director. The CBI's investigation resulted in a chargesheet earlier this year, paving the way for the ED to now begin a parallel probe under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
