Social activist Ramendra Kumar who is general secretary of the Delhi Shramik Sangathan, a federation of unorganised workers, says gig workers are slightly better treated than domestic workers because, while they may be excluded from public spaces, they do not have to enter homes and this spares them the worst humiliations. “What older Indians do immediately on meeting a maid, cook or cleaner is to ask their name. That tells them instantly both their caste and religion so that Hindus can then exclude certain people, from, say, working in the kitchen because of caste purity” Kumar said. “India is the most stratified and divided society in the world and even new areas of the economy, such as gig workers, are not exempt from the old attitudes that affect traditional workers like maids and cooks which divide us Indians. These people want gig workers to deliver what they want but don’t want to see them or hear them.”

You all don't eat rice? Only roti? And for breakfast you never had readymade stuff like puffed rice with sattu? I am sorry I don't know how my tone is sounding in this ask but I am surprised to learn that those who go abroad switch to microwaveable meals not because there is a lack of Indian food, but because they can't hire anyone. They don't know how to cook? Efficiently?

I mean obviously I’m excluding easy to make dishes but I’m North Indian and eating rotis twice a day is a common expectation. also my South Indian friends also eat idlis and dosas as a base carb quite frequently which is ofc more labour intensive than just rice. Common readymade breakfasts like poha u can add water too have only been introduced very recently. It is a fact that Indian cuisine is extremely labour intensive and just dismissing that as “people not knowing how to cook efficiently” ignores the amount of labour involved and how much this daily expected kitchen drudgery hampers women’s opportunities, and the fact that most middle class families employ domestic help and the structural violence access to such cheap labour implies

Kuroo x Desi!reader

Request: Kuroo with a poc/ south Asian exchange student in college. Smart witty mathematics major. (NSFW or SFW) Request by: @thefuckwasmyname

A/n: This is a grammatical abomination in terms of punctuations amongst other things. Also, is “ofcourse” an indian word of sort? Because autocorrect throws a fit and always denies that this word exists. Edit: got the error, dw I fixed it, of course.

Note: Italics are the dialogues. First dialogue is always Kuroo’s.

Word count: 1.1k

New student in the middle of the semester. You couldn’t go ignored at all. Specifically by a certain topper of the class.

Afterall you put his sport scholarship at risk. How could he ignore you.

So when that one common course came along, he saw this as an opportunity.

To flirt with you.

Because in his head, it wasn't the curiosity of seeing pretty little earrings or the little dot between your eyebrows or that pretty smile that attracted him to you; it was the fact that he wanted to win. Or maybe both.

Graciously failed to flirt as soon as he saw what you were working on.

The complex problem that your professor had assigned. THE COMPLEX PROBLEM. One which, even he, could not solve.

No matter how many times he tried to derivate. But you, were nearing the answer. That’s just not acceptable now is it.

So, now he had to distract you, the stakes were higher.

So when he saw the chance, he started the debate with you. To try and prove you wrong.

“Chain rule”

“Product rule”

“Chain rule”

“Product rule”

“Chain rule”

It was in fact the chain rule. And you were in fact right. Kuroo just didn’t want to admit it.

(Read the note before this pls)

“You are wrong you know.”

“No I am not. It is solvable by only chain rule.”

“Okay, let me convince you? I have a free lecture post lunch and before practice. “

“You could try. You will be wrong. “

That’s how your first date went. Him trying to convince him that he is right and you just sitting there trying to show him the solved version.

It became a routine of sort.

Him bringing you questions and then starting debates over them. Which turned into you sharing the questions you couldn’t solve as well

Eventually, just that one lecture was not enough to be debating over problems of all things.

So you took over each other’s lunches as well.

That’s when Kuroo discovered, your cooking

Let’s just say, for his stomach and his heart, there was no going back.

Achar from the side tiffin, getting over quicker than it was before. You reciprocated of course.

He had to buy pocky more often now.

I saw this math meme yesterday

Show

No

Huh

No

Why’d you tell me then?

Give your number, it’s a visually funny one

Or you could just show it to me from your phone

No

Fine, give your phone here

That’s how he took down your number.

A lot of stolen ladoos later….

Texting you things other than just problems started to make sense now.

His favourite being texting you indian food content he finds.

Yours being sending him kitten content in order to influence him into keeping one.

You see, your rental doesn’t allow pets. But his does.

And you had found the most adorable black cat near the campus.

He gives in in a couple of days yes. Afterall, he was the Nekoma captain.

So you both go shopping for the cat.

You see, despite being a cat person, Kuroo didn’t really know a lot about them. So you were there to help the cat out.

Not for anything else obviously.

They are as a matter of fact, allergic to milk

No, they are not. Back home I used to feed the stray cats milk and water

You didn’t know any better. I do.

No

Yes

No

Yes

I’ll google it

Go ahead

Ha!

What

They are only allergic to cow milk. Not buffalo milk.

Okay what?!

Yes, look

Next debate of yours came with the flavour of the cat food

The vet’s always suggest to start out with the chicken or ocean flavours

The salmon one looks better

Don't be stubborn on this one.

I will be.

Fine, I’ll give Kenma a call, he has cats.

Okay you do that.

Much to your dismay, Kenma suggested to start out with the ocean flavour.

Then much to your cashier’s dismay, his calculator broke down.

You could say that the cashier wanted to do the same.

Its 2080 yen

No, it’s 2210 yen

He said it’s on 20% discount didn’t he

No he said 15%

The cashier had said 10. The cashier himself spoke.

So it’s 2340!

Both of you claimed at the same time.

Did you finish the assignment yet?

You rolled your eyes at his text.

No, I’m on it

Okay, send it once you are done

No

Please

Okay, what will I get in return

A date

With who

With me obviously

No

You dare reject my advances

Fine, I’ll send it

Thankyou. Now that’s more like it

Stop being an asshole, doesn’t suit you

It suits me about 70%

We talked about this Kuroo

Yes we did

It was 20%

No

If it couldn’t get any better, you were also good at chemistry, but decided to drop it due to excess course load.

So it didn’t surprise Kuroo when you could correct his assignment and tell him that he had attempted a 10 marker incorrectly.

You had a fight about it for a while, but he did end up agreeing that it was D-erythrose and not D-threose.

(for context these molecules have similar structure, but not exactly the same)

Once this happened. Kuroo was no longer kidding himself.

He finally admitted to himself that he indeed does like you a lot more than he had planned and also the fact that you were better at math

So when he finally decided to confess, it wasn’t surprising to him and you either.

You had noticed the long stares, the teasing behind the red ears of his.

Because you were doing the same of course.

But Kuroo being Kuroo, decided to be extra about it.

He decided that the best way to confess to you would be to spell out your name and the confession as functions

Spent literal days on it

Even asked you to graph a few small things.

Didn’t tell you what of course, but you anyways helped him.

After he showed it to you, you literally got up and left.

Didn’t even say a word.

Left the poor guy hanging.

Well, he just justified it in his brain that he had miscalculated your actions as liking him back.

He decided to save himself the future embarrassments and never to talk to you again.

Gave up on the idea of him liking anyone else ever again

Lost the meaning of life.

Caved into depression.

All this in the span of 4 minutes 33 seconds that you were gone.

You came back with a “I feel the same” text on the graph as functions for his confession.

Boy lit up.

Deflated again

How’d you manage this within 4 minutes?

You just laughed.

sardines

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Clupeiformes Family: Clupeidae Number of Species: 21

Sardines are a group of herring fishes that encompass five distinct genera and at least 21 unique species. One of the most common sardines used in cooking and food preparation is the Pacific Sardine, also known as Sardinops caeruleus.

Sardines are small fish that typically do not exceed 12 inches in length and can weigh as little as three ounces each. However, some larger herring varieties, such as the American Shad, can reach as much as seven pounds in weight.

European fisheries refer to these fish as pilchards. In fact, the UK and other European nations define them as juvenile pilchards that are less than 6 to 12 inches in length. Other varieties include the South American Pilchard, the Bali Sardinella and the Indian Oil Sardine.

These fish all have silvery scales and one small dorsal fin. They swim in large schools that can stretch for miles. They are found in almost every area of the world including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea, the Dead Sea, the waters around Morocco and other nations.

REGIONAL SPECIALITIES

Despite recent setbacks beef is still big industry in England, and the Scottish Aberdeen Angus is one of our most famous beef-producing breeds. Dairy cattle are also farmed extensively -- England is famous for its creams and butters and for its sturdy and delicious cheeses: Stilton, Cheshire and its rare cousin blue Cheshire, double Gloucester, red Leicester, sage Derby, and of course cheddar.

Some of our more interesting dishes include:-

Beefsteak, Oyster, and Kidney Pudding: Oysters may seem unlikely in this meat pudding, but their great abundance in the Victorian age and earlier eras inspired cooks to find ways to incorporate them creatively in many different recipes. This steamed pudding combines the meats with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and Worcestershire, then wraps the whole in a suet pastry.

Black Pudding: invented in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis black pudding is often served as part of a traditional full English breakfast.

Black Pudding Recipe

Cock-a-Leekie : This Scottish specialty can be classified as a soup or a stew. It combines beef, chicken, leeks, and prunes to unusual and spectacular ends.

Crown Roast Lamb: The crown roast encircles a stuffing of apples, bread crumbs, onion, celery, and lemon.

Eccles Cake : Puff pastry stuffed with a spicy currant filling.

Hasty Pudding: A simple and quick (thus the name) steamed pudding of milk, flour, butter, eggs, and cinnamon.

Irish Stew: An Irish stew always has a common base of lamb, potatoes, and onion. It could contain any number of other ingredients, depending on the cook.

Likky Pie Leeks: pork, and cream baked in puff pastry.

Mincemeat: Beef suet is used to bind chopped nuts, apples, spices, brown sugar, and brandy into a filling for pies or pasties - not to be confused with minced meat!.

Mulligatawny Soup: What this soup is depends on who is cooking it. Originally a south Indian dish (the name means pepper water in tamil), it has been adopted and extensively adapted by the British. Mullitgatawny contains chicken or meat or vegetable stock mixed with yogurt or cheese or coconut milk and is seasoned with curry and various other spices. It is sometimes served with a separate bowl of rice.

Syllabub: In the seventeenth century, a milkmaid would send a stream of new, warm milk directly from a cow into a bowl of spiced cider or ale. A light curd would form on top with a lovely whey underneath. This, according to Elizabeth David, was the original syllabub. Today's syllabub is more solid (its origins can also be traced to the seventeenth century, albeit to the upper classes) and mixes sherry and/or brandy, sugar, lemon, nutmeg, and double cream into a custard-like dessert or an eggnog-like beverage, depending upon the cook.

Trifle: Layers of alcohol-soaked sponge cake alternate with fruit, custard and whipped cream, some people add jelly, but that's for kids.

Welsh Faggots: Pig's liver is made into meatballs with onion, beef suet, bread crumbs, and sometimes a chopped apple. Faggots used to be made to use up the odd parts of a pig after it had been slaughtered.

Welsh Rabbit (or Rarebit): Cheese is grated and melted with milk or ale. Pepper, salt, butter, and mustard are then added. The mix is spread over toast and baked until "the cheese bubbles and becomes brown in appetizing-looking splashes" (Jane Grigson in English Food, London: Penguin, 1977).

Westmoreland Pepper Cake: Fruitcake that gets a distinctive kick from lots of black pepper. Other ingredients include honey, cloves, ginger, and walnuts.

It was his Mum who started it. She was always singing round the house, turning any stray remark into a rhyme, such as “Let’s go to the show, we have to go now, you know….” Uncle Everett added to it when he’d play the latest records from Jamaica at family parties, the men in their suits all dancing to reggae and ska while he, Benjamin the eldest, would add on verses about cooking. Then there was the time he was called to testify at church and made a rap of “Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus” and all the Bible books, forwards then backwards. The pastors named him Zephaniah after that, a prophet’s name. So when people said later that he ought to be a painter, or a car mechanic, he clung to what he’d known since he was eight years old: he was going to be a poet, poet, poet.

They said, you can’t make a living that way. He was sure he could. It didn’t need much, just “a pencil full of lead…light and fine,…[that] moves with me through space and time”, and a mind burning with ideas. The first of which was, that he didn’t like poetry much. The world Wordsworth wandered in wasn’t his: Birmingham’s poor black end, all grey tin baths, grey pavements, grey sky, or London, “magnificent through its pollution”. He wanted to write about the lives of people now, walking those streets: struggling to survive with social services cut, lied to by politicians, oppressed by authority right and left without even knowing it. And then, as important as writing, he wanted to stir those people up by standing on a stage and letting rip the verse of fire.

He could make them laugh, too, before jabbing in a serious point. Britain’s diversity, for example, was worth celebrating, a pot of Picts and Celts to which had been added Romans, Saxons, Normans, Afghans, cool Jamaicans, fresh Indians, Pakistanis, Bosnians, Turks, all sorts. Let simmer; add respect. But “treating one ingredient better than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste”.

Nowhere was the bitterness sharper than in black Britain. It was his main theme. As a child he ached with shame when schoolmates brought their favourite golliwogs to class; as a youth, a naughty boy deep in gangs, rackets and thieving, he’d felt these were the only options open. But even as a dread Rasta strolling real and regal down the street, with his poetry and novels in every bookshop and his face on TV, he still felt unsure about asking a policeman the time. Black males were stopped and searched five times more than white men. When young black men were killed, like Stephen Lawrence, white killers got off. When black men like his cousin Michael and a whole litany of others died in custody, there was no inquiry. And when a white woman sat well away from him on the Tube, was that because he was black?

Black people do not have Chips on their shoulders, They just have injustice on their backs

When Nelson Mandela was in prison he wrote a tribute to him, and when South Africa cast off apartheid he hosted a concert for him at the Royal Albert Hall. But he was all too aware that the legacy of colonialism still blighted equality even in Britain, the land paved with gold.

Some black entertainers sold out, of course. They thought going to the Palace and sipping champagne proved how far they had come. He couldn’t do that shit. The queen had met him backstage once, a nice old lady, but No Monarchy was his motto. In 2003 the establishment tried to award him the Order of the British Empire; he threw that thought straight back. If there was anything he had railed against all his life, it was the empire and all its works.

People sometimes got the strange idea that he had softened. Perhaps it was because he was interviewed on the BBC and went into schools to teach children to love words, have fun with them and think again about eating animals, who were people too:

Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas Cos’ turkeys just wanna hav fun… It could be yu mate, an not on your plate…

He also worked for the British Council, though mostly to prove that British poetry was reggae and dub as well as Keats. Murmurs even arose that he could be poet laureate. But then he would declare yet again that capitalism would eat itself to death, and urge people to break the law every day just to prove they weren’t entirely under control: by speeding, or wanking at the bus stop. At which point the establishment would cry, “Fuck! He’s still militant!”

His anger did indeed burn a long, long time. So many causes inflamed him. He wrote, and worked for charities, to address all the suffering he heard of: war victims, abused women, the homeless, refugees (“We can all be refugees. Sometimes it only takes a day”). His duty was to drag into the daylight injustice everywhere. On the cover of his anthology of 2001, “Too Black, Too Strong”, with poems about East Timor and Palestine as well as his home cities, his fist punched out smack in the reader’s face.

Yet he did have a more reflective side. It showed as he got older, when he moved to the remote Fens of eastern England, grew his own organic vegetables and thought more about “the African heart deep in my Brummie chest”. Religion, he had long ago decided, gave God a bad name. After trying and rejecting several, he took Buddha as his hero and self-knowledge as his creed. Meditation gave him a direct line to the creator, and didn’t blunt his anger. In fact, one wouldn’t work without the other.

When good at last triumphed over evil, as he was sure it would, he hoped it might be partly due to the poetry he had sown in people’s heads, especially young heads. The love of words, the drive of rhythm, the search for justice; the sense of prophetic power.

I used to think nurses were women, I used to think police were men, I used to think poets were boring, Until I became one of them.

The Rise of Luxury Catering Services in Delhi’s Elite Events

Delhi is a city known for its grand celebrations, lavish parties, and exquisite taste in food. In recent years, there has been a significant rise in demand for luxury catering services in Delhi. Whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, or a high-profile private party, people are no longer satisfied with ordinary food setups. They want a culinary experience that matches the elegance of their event. This growing desire for sophistication has given birth to a new standard in the catering industry – one where gourmet cuisine meets exceptional presentation.

The Essence of Luxury Catering

When people think of luxury, they often picture opulence, exclusivity, and unmatched quality. The same applies to catering. A luxury catering company in Delhi goes beyond simply serving food. It crafts a complete gastronomic journey. From sourcing the finest ingredients to curating a custom menu that reflects the theme of the event, everything is done with meticulous attention to detail.

These services cater to a clientele that appreciates innovation in food, fusion of global cuisines, and flawless execution. Guests are not only treated to mouthwatering dishes but also to the kind of presentation that looks like art on a plate. Trained chefs, seasoned servers, stylish décor setups, and a professional approach make luxury catering truly special.

Why Delhi is the Hub for Premium Catering

Delhi is a city where celebrations are larger than life. From lavish farmhouses in Chattarpur to heritage properties in South Delhi, every event is a showcase of the host’s taste and status. Naturally, food becomes a major talking point. This is where luxury wedding catering in Delhi comes into play.

Weddings in Delhi are no longer traditional buffets with standard menus. Today’s couples want a thematic dining experience – from live sushi counters and Mediterranean grills to interactive dessert stations and gourmet Indian dishes with modern twists. They expect the catering to align with their wedding décor, guest list, and cultural preferences. This level of personalization can only be achieved through experienced luxury caterers.

What Makes Luxury Event Catering Stand Out?

So what exactly sets luxury event catering in Delhi apart from regular catering options?

Bespoke Menus: Clients get to work directly with chefs to create menus that reflect their style and occasion. Whether it’s a vegan fine-dining spread or a seven-course European meal, every detail is considered.

World-Class Ingredients: From imported cheeses to organic vegetables and premium meats, quality is non-negotiable. The focus is on freshness, authenticity, and flavor.

Elegant Presentation: Every dish is plated with precision. Even buffet-style meals are displayed with artistic flair – making food the centerpiece of the event.

Professional Service: From uniformed staff to trained sommeliers and experienced event managers, service plays a big role in creating a seamless experience.

Attention to Ambiance: Luxury catering is not just about the food. It includes complete food styling – elegant crockery, designer cutlery, themed counters, and even scent-based sensory add-ons.

Popular Trends in Luxury Catering

As expectations continue to rise, the industry is seeing exciting innovations. Here are some current trends shaping the luxury catering services in Delhi:

Interactive Stations: Live cooking counters where chefs prepare dishes in front of guests.

Fusion Cuisine: Traditional Indian dishes reimagined with global flavors.

Health-Conscious Menus: Keto, vegan, gluten-free – guests want options that suit their lifestyle.

Themed Food Experiences: Menus tailored around themes like vintage royal, rustic, tropical, or bohemian.

Bar Pairing Menus: Specialized cocktail pairings with each course or food type.

Ideal Occasions for Luxury Catering

While weddings are a major part of the clientele, several other occasions call for the elegance of luxury event catering in Delhi:

High-end corporate events

Product launches and brand activations

Private house parties for VVIPs

Destination pre-wedding functions

Anniversary and milestone birthday celebrations

Each of these events has different dynamics, guest expectations, and décor themes – which is why personalized planning is key.

Choosing the Right Luxury Catering Partner

Selecting the right luxury catering company in Delhi is crucial to the success of your event. Here are a few tips to ensure you make the right choice:

Experience Matters: Choose a company that has worked with high-profile events before and understands the nuances of premium service.

Tasting Sessions: Always request a tasting session before finalizing the menu. It helps ensure the food aligns with your expectations.

Client Reviews: Check online reviews and testimonials to see what others have experienced.

Menu Customization: Ensure the caterer is open to tailoring the menu based on your preferences and not just offering set packages.

Service Team: Pay attention to the quality and training of their serving staff – they play a big part in how the food is experienced.

Final Thoughts

Luxury catering is no longer a niche – it’s becoming the standard for high-end events in Delhi. The city’s discerning hosts want more than just good food – they want unforgettable experiences, world-class presentation, and flawless execution. Whether it’s a royal wedding or an intimate VIP dinner, luxury wedding catering in Delhi ensures that the food becomes a lasting memory for everyone involved.

If you’re planning your next big event and want it to be nothing short of spectacular, investing in luxury catering services in Delhi will ensure that every plate served is as unforgettable as the celebration itself.
