Man reveals food culture clash in Netherlands, stuns Indians online: ‘This is just so surreal'
An Indian-origin man who grew up in the Netherlands opened up about a cultural shock he experienced in childhood. Speaking in a street interview for Instagram account Dating Beyond Borders, he explained that while his parents moved to the Netherlands from India, he was raised there. The man shared a childhood memory that highlighted the cultural difference between India and the Netherlands.(Instagram/datingbeyondborders) When asked which parts of his personality were more 'Indian,' he pointed to food culture. 'Even if someone is coming to fix the tap, you will give them a meal, you will give them tea. Dutch culture does not have that. You wouldn't necessarily invite someone for dinner,' he said. He then shared a childhood memory that highlighted this cultural difference. During a barbecue at a neighbour's house, he was invited over to play. 'When my parents came to pick me up they asked me how it was. I said that it was fun but I did not get any of the meat as they said that it was only for adults,' he recalled. He added that although he asked for some of the barbecued meat, he was told it was finished—even though he saw the leftovers being stored in the fridge. When his mother asked the neighbours about it, they explained the food was being saved for their next day's meal. 'My mom was like, wow that's some broke a* s**t,'* he said with a laugh. However, he clarified that not all Dutch people behaved this way, adding that many of his Dutch friends were shocked when they heard the story. The story stunned viewers online, especially Indians, who shared their thoughts in the comments. "I lived modestly, as did all my friends growing up, but parents would never allow their kids' friends to leave the house hungry... This is just so surreal," said one of them. Another added, "In India, even the poorest family would feed their children first, even before others, if they suddenly show up during meal time."

Rooms of their own: women-only communities thrive in China
Synopsis In China, women are increasingly seeking refuge and community in single-gender spaces like co-living cottages and cultural hubs. These spaces offer a safe environment free from social pressures and harassment, allowing women to connect, share experiences, and support each other. As women gain economic independence, they prioritize their well-being and seek alternative lifestyles, fostering a growing demand for women-only environments. Agencies Representative Image Linan: Laughter erupts over a board game and coffee at a rural cottage in China's eastern province of Zhejiang, one of a growing number of women-only co-living spaces far from social pressures and male come to share mutual support and "talk freely about intimate stuff" while others seek companionship or refuge from harassment, participants told AFP after making steamed buns in a bright kitchen overlooking the mountains."An all-women environment makes me feel safe," said Zhang Wenjing, 43."Among women, we talk more easily about certain things," she Fangyan, 28, said she felt less self-conscious without men around. "Not being forced to wear a bra is already a kind of freedom." Demand for single-gender spaces -- including bars, gyms, hostels and co-working hubs -- has grown in China, as women flex increasing economic power to secure peace of mind and physical "Keke's Imaginative Space", participants pay 30 yuan ($4.17) a night, with costs going up to 80 yuan from the fourth Chen Yani, nicknamed "Keke", told AFP she was motivated to open the space after bad experiences with men in the workplace."I encountered various degrees of harassment from men, to the point where I often found myself unable to work normally," the 30-year-old said."I started thinking about what a safe and relaxed work environment would look like... a place where I wouldn't feel apprehensive." 'Just be themselves' Chen started by renovating a house in Lin'an, a suburb of Hangzhou, roughly 200 kilometres (124 miles) from that other women might share her desire for somewhere they could feel at ease, she organised a stay over Chinese New Year on the Instagram-like Xiaohongshu, also known as women showed wanted a change of scenery for the holidays, others were keen to escape intrusive questioning or pressure from relatives, including to get married and have children. "Within the family, women often have to take care of grandparents, children and household chores. Not to mention work responsibilities," she said. "They need a place where they don't have to play a role and can just be themselves."Women's increasing economic independence -- as well as educational opportunities -- means a wider scope of options, said Yuan Xiaoqian, 29, a participant."They can focus more on themselves... and on new needs," she media is also exposing women to alternative lifestyles -- particularly Rednote, which offers a growing number of options for seeking Xiuxi, a village in Zhejiang, Yang Yun opened "Her Space" in June to offer women a "spiritual haven".With its rustic furniture and calligraphy on the walls, the property has the feel of a boutique idea, she said, was to ensure women always have a place to go."If (a woman) loses her job, her parents, has an argument with her husband, or feels exhausted by city life, she knows she can come here and find some warmth," said far, 120 women have paid the 3,980-yuan membership fee to join the quickly expanding club."Whether they come or not is not important. The important thing is that this place exists. It gives them mental strength," Yang said. Women still lack places Critics claim that single-gender communities foster antagonism between men and Keke's Imaginative Space, Chen Yani denies that anyone is harbouring antipathy towards men and insists women have a right to spaces of their own."Women constitute a social group with shared life trajectories and problems. It's often easier for them to understand each other and show empathy," she she has yet to turn a profit, Chen said that was beside the point."As long as there's demand, this place will continue to exist," she of the all-women cultural space "Half the Sky" in Beijing, Lilith Jiang, said these community-oriented facilities fill a void."Men have plenty of opportunities to socialise, while drinking or while exercising," she said. "Women don't have that."Down the line, she said non-traditional structures could offer an alternative for single women worried about ageing alone."Women are constantly told: 'If you don't get married, what will become of you when you get older?'" said Jiang."But long-term, all-female shared co-living spaces where women can grow old together could be a solution."

Charbagh station touches 100 years of its foundation
1 2 Lucknow: Northern Railway on Sunday unveiled a commemorative booklet celebrating the 100 years of Charbagh Railway Station completing its foundation. Sunil Kumar Verma, divisional railway manager (DRM), Lucknow Division, was the chief guest. More than a transit hub, Charbagh stands as a living monument in the heart of Lucknow. According to the booklet, its story began in 1914, when Bishop George Herbert laid the foundation stone. After nearly a decade of construction, the station's foundations were completed on Aug 1, 1925. Now, in 2025, it enters its centenary foundation year, symbolizing a century of visionary engineering and cultural legacy. "Charbagh is not just a station; it's a heritage site that reflects the soul of Lucknow," said the DRM. Built in the Indo-Saracenic architectural style, Charbagh seamlessly blends Rajput, Awadhi, Mughal, and Western design elements. Its unique structure ensures that even with over 250 trains passing daily, the sound remains inaudible from outside — a marvel of acoustic foresight. The booklet also highlights Charbagh's historical significance. On Dec 26, 1916, the station hosted the first meeting between Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, marking a pivotal moment in India's freedom movement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo From colonial rule to independence, Charbagh has silently witnessed countless stories of arrivals, farewells, and reunions.

Serving 14 districts with a rail network spanning 1,497.7 route km and 198 stations, Charbagh remains the beating heart of Northern Railway — a station where history meets modernity, said an official.
