Can you even call yourself a street food lover if you're not fond of momos? From steamed to pan-fried, veg to non-veg, momos have long been a foodie's favorite snack. But with the rise of food fusions, this classic dish has taken some truly unusual turns. You may have already seen fruit momos, momo omelettes, or even dry fruit momos. Now, the latest addition to the list is

A video circulating on Instagram shows a street vendor preparing this peculiar treat. The process begins with a dollop of butter in a pan, followed by milk chocolate bars and a splash of chocolate syrup. A little water is added, and the mixture is stirred into a smooth, creamy consistency. Meanwhile, the momos are deep-fried in a wok. Once crispy, they're dunked into the chocolate sauce until fully coated.

For serving, the vendor places the gooey momos on a paper plate, tops them with Cadbury Gems and KitKat pieces, and adds an extra drizzle of chocolate syrup. According to the Instagram post, these chocolate momos are available in Vivek Vihar, Delhi, priced at Rs 300.
"This is called your worst nightmare coming to life. Enough Insta for today," commented one momo enthusiast. Other reactions included 'justice for momos' and 'RIP momos.' Clearly, this fusion experiment didn't sit well with die-hard momo fans.

Coolie box office collection Day 3: Rajinikanth starrer becomes fastest Tamil film to earn ₹300 crore worldwide, beats Vettaiyan and Mohanlal's Empuraan on opening weekend

Coolie box office collection Day 3: Rajinikanth's box office fire is far from fading. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj's new film Coolie has not only set fan frenzy ablaze worldwide but is also ruling the global box office. Released on August 14, 2025, just a day before the Independence Day weekend, the movie clashed with Hrithik Roshan's War 2 but refused to slow down. In just three days, Coolie has stormed past the ₹300 crore mark, and the internet can't stop celebrating. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, on its first day (Thursday), Coolie earned ₹65 crore net in India. On day 2 (Friday), it collected ₹54.75 crore (a slight drop but still massive). On day 3 (Saturday), early estimates showed around ₹38.5 crore, bringing the three-day India net total to ₹158.25 crore. Coolie's overseas earnings and the worldwide collection have already surpassed the 300 crore mark. According to one of the trade analysts, Sumit Kadel, Coolie has now become the fastest Tamil film ever to hit that milestone. On the other hand, as per Sacnilk, War 2 earned ₹26.18 crore net in India on day 3, Friday. According to Kadel, the film has pulled in between ₹320–325 crore worldwide in just three days, and it's already on a straight track to blockbuster status. With this, the superstar has also gone past his last release Vettaiyan's lifetime earnings. On Day 2, Coolie was barely ₹26 crore short of crossing Vettaiyan, which had made ₹146.89 crore in its entire run, and here comes Coolie, doing it all in its opening weekend. The film also smashed past Ajith's Good Bad Ugly (₹180 crore) and even overtook the ₹265 crore global haul of Mohanlal–Prithviraj Sukumaran's L2: Empuraan. In France, Coolie also broke records by selling 8,800 tickets on opening day, beating Vijay's Leo (8,500). The film is doing exceptionally well in Singapore, the UAE, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and North America. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Rajinikanth's star power and massive fan following are pulling huge crowds everywhere. Now, the movie is aiming for the ₹600 crore club. Only three Tamil films have ever crossed that mark before: 2.0 (Rajinikanth), Jailer (Rajinikanth), Leo (Vijay).

He described Coolie as a 'celebration of legacy and reinvention' and said breaking records felt inevitable. The movie also stars Shruti Haasan, Upendra, and Soubin Shahir, with a special cameo by Aamir Khan. The film witnessed an overall 65.99% Tamil occupancy on Saturday, August 16, with Chennai (88.75%), Coimbatore (83.75%), Pondicherry (86.50%), and Trichy (89%). Night shows peaked at 79.71% The Hindi version, titled Coolie: The Powerhouse, managed a decent, 38.99% occupancy, though cities like Mumbai (43.50%), Pune (45%).

'She's legit disgusting': Travis Hunter's wife Leanna Lenee slammed as gold digger after shocking ring finger tattoo

Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee's wedding was followed by online speculation after a photo surfaced showing a "$" tattoo (Image via IG) W hen Jacksonville Jaguars star Travis Hunter tied the knot with longtime love Leanna Lenee in May 2025, their wedding in Chattanooga, Tennessee, seemed like a fairytale moment. The two had been together since Hunter's high school days in Georgia and got engaged in February 2024. But just days after their ceremony, the couple found themselves at the center of online gossip — all thanks to a small tattoo and an even smaller social media snapshot. Fans zeroed in on Leanna Lenee's ring finger tattoo It began when a photo of Leanna Lenee hugging Travis Hunter from behind started making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter). The image appeared to show a '$' tattoo inked on her ring finger. Some fans quickly jumped to conclusions, suggesting the symbol hinted at materialistic intentions. — illuminakisoul (@illuminakisoul) One commented, "And she's legit disgusting. He's a young kid… it's sad." Another user commented, 'Can't say there wasn't signs..', while another added, 'What a million dollar mistake looks like.' Others took a harsher stance, claiming, 'If anything happens, it's his fault for being blinded by love (lust).' The speculation piled on top of earlier viral chatter from their wedding day, when a clip seemed to show Lenee dodging a kiss during their first dance — a moment critics eagerly dissected. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Health and comfort: the comfiest slip-on shoes of the year Ultra-Comfortable Shoes Undo Cam Newton stepped in to defend the couple Despite the online noise, neither Hunter nor Lenee addressed the rumors.

Are we going to the dogs? Hope so, writes Vir Das

There was a time when the phrase stand-up comedy meant very little to India. And then came Vir Das. Who not only showed us that India had a funny bone, but that she was not afraid to laugh at herself. Comedy before 2004 was an indulgence for the older generation and an alien art form to the younger. Vir brought in a young, raw and edgy brand of comedy, and got the youth to follow it. Like his name, Vir went bravely where no one had gone before - politicians, prime ministers, super celebrities, actors, sex, family, kids no one was safe from his rapier wit. Audiences lapped it up and even as comedy on television was plumbing the depths of mediocrity and recycled jokes, Vir brought wit, originality, edginess, and sophistication to Indian stand-up comedy. He was last seen in Delhi Belly, read on to get an insight into this quick witted actor and stand-up comedian's mind. LESS ... MORE We live in decidedly strange times when comedians are writing in newspapers. Not sure what that says about the state of the nation. Some might say we are 'going to the dogs'. I'm not going to lie, I hope we do. People far smarter than me will tell you about humane animal birth control, data on what happens to dogs abandoned in shelters, how culling largely captures innocent non-aggressive dogs, or how massive amounts of funding, time, and resources are required for effective sterilisation, vaccination and rehabilitation drives. Experts have spent this week screaming from the rooftops. I'm not as accomplished or remotely as intelligent. But as someone who has adopted indies off the streets, and as an emotional idiot, here's what I can tell you. I could tell you a dog looks at idiots like me and geniuses like you in the exact same way. It doesn't care how smart you are. And isn't love at its purest the ignorance of someone's stupidity? I could tell you dogs don't like screaming and loud voices, so weirdly, a dog values quality journalism more than an Indian who watches primetime television. I could tell you that a dog doesn't get upset at random tariffs. To them an orange blonde making loud noises is a toy full of stuffing, not himself. A troll doll, not just a troll. I could tell you everything is upward to a dog. The average height of Indian men is 5 ft 8 inches, but to a pet, we are all Bachchans. I could tell you a dog poops between one and three times a day. In a sea of shit content, quite literally a 'content creator'. I could tell you that dogs don't know what your religion is, and yet they are capable of worship, because they see a god in you everyday. I could tell you a dog doesn't know about generational wealth or how much your wedding cost. They measure inequality in scratches and rubs. I could tell you a dog doesn't care about your 'drip', the one hanging off their chin is longer. A 'fit check' is whether they can successfully fit under your armpit. I could tell you that dogs pick up on kindness. They're a great barometer for who should be in your life. They sniff enough A-holes to recognise them. I could tell you that a generation that sends dogs to an early doom is going to crave that kind of love in their later years. I could tell you that the sound of panting in your ears is far more informative than a podcast. I could tell you that a dog has no political ideology and if you put a bird in front of it, it will eat the left wing as quickly as the right one. When a dog chooses a leader, it follows them with respect, not fear or greed. I could tell you that when a dog lies next to you, it scientifically increases your body temperature, and that in our educational system, it would take you nine years to get three extra degrees. I could tell you that dogs are capable of love, not likes. With LITERAL engagement and triple the dopamine. I could tell you that dogs feel anger, not hate. And therefore, every single dog, given time and resources, is capable of being trained to respect humans and their boundaries. Anger is merely fear in the present. Hatred is fear from the past, poisoning the future. Anger passes, hate sticks. I could tell you that everything you love about a dog can be found triple-fold in our Indian indies. More than any other breed in the world. That they belong in your home, in your sight, on your mind, on your lap. I could tell you that when we forget dogs, they remember. I could beg you that it's easier to adopt an indie, than an ideology. I could tell you that a dog sitting in the corner creates safety, and us standing in their corner will too. I could tell you that a dog will sometimes keep you up at night. But if we collectively abandon them, I'm not sure how we will sleep at night. I could tell you bullets have strays, indies have communities. I could tell you a dog doesn't have to be in your home for you to be their home. God willing if you let them in, you can watch your home become someone's entire world. Every single thing that is good about us as a nation, as Indians, can be found mirrored back to us in tiny eyes under flopping ears. EVERYTHING. I hope we can be what THEY see. I hope we DO go to the dogs. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.
