Jhakkaas - Punjabi Bagh Market, Delhi

Punjabi Bagh's main market is quite a nerve center being a major activity hub for the plush residential colony. It is here that McDonald's opened in its first expansion phases. Jhakkas is an encroachment on a pavement on the main road. It serves lip smacking Pav Bhaji which is in literal terms talk of the town.





They key to a good Bhaji is that it should be cooked really well. You got to keep it simmering. Jhakkaas does that to perfection. The addition of dollops of butter brings in the desired flavor. They serve it with green mint chutney which does not happen everywhere. It adds to that street food vibe you are looking at.

I tried both Veg butter tadka pav bhaji and veg butter masala pav bhaji. The only difference between the both is that the latter will have a spread of red chili paste on the pav buns. You can try it if you like it spicier. Otherwise, go with the former.

These are the two most selling items but they have other food on the menu like the Dabeli which you can try if want to have something other than Pav Bhaji

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
