4 min readJul 24, 2026 11:13 AM IST Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya review: This seven part series reminds me a little of Maamla Legal Hai, the show set in a lower Delhi court in a part of the national Capital far away from the swag and smoothness of Central Delhi. Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya functions in the same mould: this is a sarkari school in the fictional mohalla of Tinki Toli, whose students come from a certain section of society, with parents working low rung jobs, whose only way out of the rut is education. It’s quite ironic that the show is out at a time when student protests are ringing out in Delhi and in other parts of the country, demanding accountability and the reset of an education system which has been systematically devalued over time. And it’s even more ironic that for a show which wants to do the right thing – picking up topics which are relevant and timely — it goes about it in such an overstated manner. Everything is underlined; very little …

The Origins of Almora’s Legendary Baal Mithai

Published by Webster

Bal Mithai reigns supreme as Uttarakhand’s iconic dessert, inseparable from the region’s rich culinary heritage. It is made with khoya, ghee and sugar, cooked over a low, long fire, transforming into a chocolate-coloured sticky, fudge that represents the heart of Kumaoni culture.  Ashish Verma explores the history of baal mithai and its origin story, in the hill town of Almora. Local folk lore has it that during World War II, baal mithai was carried by soldiers from Kumaon fighting in Burma. The sweet became so beloved, and advertisements boasted, ‘humari shakha Burma mein mein bhee’ (we have branches in Burma too). Interestingly, the baal mithai of Almora was unheard of until the first quarter of the 20th century. The origins of baal mithai goes back to the story of Almora. Almora was the headquarters of the Kumaon Commissioners, from 1857, when the British crown assumed direct control over the province. It was the culture capital of Kumaon and a gateway to the more remote hinterland. It took almost two days to reach the railhead at …
