BluePea Flower Chalimidi

But today, on Father’s Day, I wanted to turn that tradition around. If Chalimidi is meant as a chaluva for the bride’s well-being, then why not offer it to all fathers — who builds a home of togetherness, who preserves traditions, and who adds his own flavor of love into everything? and ofcourse every Kiddos real life Hero

Dates Mint Panakam

In our grandmother’s kitchen, summers were never about store-bought coolers; they were about patience, tradition, and the magic of nature’s bounty. This Dry Dates Mint Paanagam is a gentle, soul-soothing drink that carries the wisdom of our ancestors. Unlike the usual paanagam, this one lets the sweetness of dry dates unfold slowly, soaked for over 10 hours—no jaggery, no shortcuts, just pure nature at work.

Ugadi Recipes for Deccan Chronicle by Bindu Gopal Rao

For some, Ugadi marks the beginning of a new year or a new era, but at its core, it is a festival of belief—a belief that inspires us to move forward, leaving behind sorrow, fear, and anxiety. Just as Chaitra Maasam blooms with new life, belief blossoms in the human mind, aligning with the planetary motion. This rhythm of the universe was wisely woven into our traditions by our ancestors, like a sacred mala (garland) of time and wisdom.
