(Also Read: ‘Why must every love story bloom in Paris?’: Kamal Haasan’s appeal to Indian film industry questions production budgets) Kamal Haasan urged the film industry to cut down unnecessary production costs. (PTI) Kamal Haasan’s appeal to the Indian film industry Kamal pointed out the effects of the West Asia conflict, writing, “For the Indian film industry, this comes at a time when budgets are already escalating, and market recoveries remain uneven. Rising costs will not affect film production alone. Consumer spending patterns for entertainment may also change in the months ahead due to inflationary pressures.” He also suggested, “The burden cannot fall on those who labour the hardest.

How SRH found a moniker for Abhishek Sharma

How SRH found a moniker for Abhishek Sharma

Published by Webster

3 min readMar 22, 2026 09:57 PM IST In a 28-second video of an intra-squad match, Abhishek Sharma is seen putting the bowlers to sword. He is sashaying down the deck, manufacturing room and carving the bowlers through covers, slashing, slapping and scything with a pre-World Cup swagger. Above the video is a caption: “Puli was on fire yesterday.” Puli means a tiger in Telugu (though in Tamil and Malayalam, it means leopards). The emoji to the caption, too, was a tiger. In local parlance, puli is referred to anyone who is daring, or shows courage. Hyderabad, of course, is the (cricketing) home of Indian cricket’s real “Tiger”, the inimitable Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi. The reference “puli’ though puzzled, because it has not been a popular (localised) epithet for him, like “thala” for MS Dhoni, or “chetta” for Sanju Samson. Or the less localised versions like Hitman (Rohit Sharma), Kung-fu Pandya (Hardik) and the alliterative Boom Boom Bumrah (Jasprit). Last season, some of the Youtubers from Hyderabad even conducted a poll to find a moniker …

A Homecoming with Karthik’s Puli Rasam and Thuvaiyal

A Homecoming with Karthik’s Puli Rasam and Thuvaiyal

Published by Webster

We are at Tamil Table, a restaurant run by chef Karthikeyan Sugumaran. Karthik spent his early years at Dakshin, an award-winning south Indian restaurant in Chennai. He then ran a café in the courtyard of an old French house, in Pondicherry, his hometown, before moving to Goa. Here at Tamil Table, he cooks homestyle Tamil food. The papadams and spice mixes are made in house, by Karthik’s mother in Pondicherry, based on recipes she inherited from her grandmother. “When we moved here in 2016, we were always searching for good South Indian food, but there were so few options,” explains Sacha, his partner. “And I grew up on my mum’s cooking…” Karthik begins. Sacha catches his expression and picks up the thread. “The truth is, he missed the food he grew up with. That’s when it struck him—how meaningful it really was. We take these things for granted when they’re placed in front of us every day,” she reflects. “It’s only when you step away and look back that you think: Oh my god, what …

A Recipe for Puli rasam

But the more people he fed, the more Karthik felt like cooking. “It had a real romance to it,” he reflects. As if the joy somehow multiplied itself with each meal. Today, in the restaurant kitchen, he is cooking a puli rasam and thuvaiyal, two of the simplest dishes, it could be argued, in his repertoire. They come to him from his great-grandmother, and represent a quiet sort of homecoming. “When I’d return home after travelling, mum would ask me, ‘What do you want to eat?’ I’d always say, ‘Make me puli rasam and karavadu.’” Rice kept overnight with water, and thuvaiyal. “I’m coming home to eat rasam rice and karavadu. That means I’m home, and I’m safe.” This is a #1000Kitchens feature. More, here. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
