v2 of my Bangalore restaurant recommendations is finally here — 2 months delayed but figured no better day than my b'day! 😅🙈
Out of 208 places, 65 make the cut for my regulars/favorites. 19 new entrants, and 11 drop-offs.

I really want restaurants to stop with this QR menu stuff. And especially the higher end ones. Not one digital menu comes close to the experience of a physical menu. Sigh.

This week, I completed a year in Bangalore. And in this one year, I've managed to document eating at/from at least 123 places.
👉 Here are my favorites and regulars in Bangalore — restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs — 58 places made the cut so far.

I was too lazy to pay the extra 150 for an aisle seat at the back of the plane and their systems haven't been able to generate a boarding pass with an auto-assigned seat for the last two days — so they ended up putting me in business class. Lol.

I've never been asked for my degree. I didn't go to IIT/IIM. I was super lucky to have figured a path that worked out for me. There are many like me, but in the larger picture, we're a one-off, and not the norm.
The big name institutes/companies open doors. Get your education.

Me: Looking for apartment
Owner: For Hindu vegetarian only
Hindu: Looking for apartment, but vegetarian only?
Owner: That's not an issue, as long as you're Hindu
BTW, this owner works in Dubai. Fine working in a Muslim country and making money there.

New Koramangala bakery — Bäcker. Started two months ago and opened the cafe space just a month ago. Had a Leipzig and iced coffee.
Overheard two separate chats 10 mins apart how they heard about Bäcker from the Nari & Kage folks. Love small brand owners supporting each other.

Having to remove work details from the bio because the last time I remotely commented on anything, they ended up on the company LinkedIn asking how can they employ such people. And this is just 0.0000000000000001% harassment a privileged person like me faces.

Feels like for a moment things are okay and then shit hits the fan again. Then I see people I've known whatabout around. And they'll gaslight. Fucking infuriating. I want to scream my lungs out at people. I chose to stay over a decade ago. I still want to. But fuck this shit.

42 places. 85 cocktail recommendations. I think it'll take me at least two years to go through this list. 😅🍸
Compiled all the responses from Twitter and Instagram, and double-checked the names against the menus.

Bento Bento in Indiranagar is doing a ramen menu this weekend — pork & chicken bowls w/ shoyu, and vegan bowl w/ oat milk broth.
From last night's preview:
— Firm springy in-house noodles
— Fat-trimmed chashu, as many aren't comfy with fatty pieces, lends to a lighter bowl

Point out that being able to do a startup, especially trying out multiple ideas over years until you land on that one, is possible because of privilege.
And all the folks blind to their privilege come out with pitchforks. "How dare you, we just persisted and worked hard."

If you couldn't get a slot at Naru today, go to Kuuraku. :)
One of my current favorites. Excellent yakitori and karaage. Good ramen. Get the almond jelly with mango sauce for the dessert. And the mango beer cocktail.
No fastest finger first, but suggest booking a table.

Let them call ghee whatever they want. It's not like they don't mention that it's originally called ghee. How would you explain a crepe to an Indian who doesn't what it is? You'll give them a local reference point right? Just stop with the fucking misplaced rage.

Startups are not for everyone. The crazy salaries suddenly made it attractive for everyone. But the work didn't change.
As
@ku1deep
said, a lot of your work will be thrown away and redone. That sucks the energy out of a lot of people. You won't last if you can't deal with that.
Startups are volatile and ambiguous.
Those who can’t handle that shouldn’t join them and make it harder for others.
Often comfort and stability seeking team members become liabilities during war time.
