Some years ago, i had spent months trying to create some “interactive gender communication material” for a group. so when #male privilege popped up on my dash today, i dredged up my old notes, and matched it up with some doodles.

Me: IT’S HYDERABAD IT’S HYDERABAD IT’S THE BEST THE BEST I TELL YOU

There are die-hard fans of three kinds of biryani: Lucknow biryani, Hyderabadi biryani and Kolkata biryani, which is a version of the Lucknow one. There is a horribly poor version that passes off as biryani in Mumbai, but the less said about that the better. People can get into heated arguments over which city makes the best biryani, and then over which restaurant in that city makes the best biryani.

This is all true. Except the part where it says that Lucknow Biryani and Kolkata Biryani can hold a candle to Hyderabad biryani. Because they can’t. End of conversation. ONE BIRYANI TO RULE THEM ALL!

Undiluted ignorance presented as an article. The writer talks about  Biryani in India, and never even mentions the rich, fragrant offerings from the Malabar Coast. The best of the lot can be had from Tellicherry, and then Calicut .And ever heard of Kashmiri biryani?

Pooh. Pooh, Ms. Sen. Your birishta is SO burnt!
