The Punjab Kitchen Gurgaon

Gurgaon has an overwhelming floating population with hundreds of people living away from home to work here. The Punjab Kitchen is serving lip smacking home style food. The packaging is quite good and as the name suggests, it does remind me of Punjab.

TPK, as it is mostly called, is akin to FoodVook and Yumist but has far better value and taste. I ordered food on a Friday, a non-veg simple thali, which had mutton, rice, eggs, and paranthas. The order was delivered well on time and packaged quite well. The food was hot and fresh.

Non-Vegetarians have to keep in mind that the Thali is not usually available on Tuesdays and Saturdays. So you should check before ordering. The food is simply awesome and they keep coming up with some discount schemes or promotions so definitely check up on that.

I liked the mutton and the portions were quite good. In sweets, they added chocolate nutties which were a pleasant surprise.

I asked the owner, Ekta about her concept and vision for this venture and she emailed me a response,

"With Gurgaon becoming the center of corporate India, there is a great influx of office workers from all over the country. Despite its cosmopolitan reputation, with its choice of lunch and dinner options, where most are produced in masse in commercial kitchens, the city has a shortage of options for good, nourishing home cooked food. This is where TPK aka The Punjab Kitchen comes in. All of TPK’s lunches and dinners are actually cooked at home with fresh ingredients, in small batches by a smaller team of people who truly love cooking, and delivered to your doorstep, as if personally by your mother! As with all home cooking, TPK’s meals are cooked with the purpose of feeding and pleasing a family, a large one in this case”

Indeed for so many of us living outside home, TPK is a great alternative for a fulfilling meal. It also offers beverage options like cold coffee and lassi in cool glass bottles which keep the beverages fresh and tasty.

If anyone wishes to order from this place, they can check out the website www.thepunjabkitchen.com

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...

Ramayana in Indonesia: A Timeless epic across borders

The Ramayana, an epic saga originating from India, has transcended borders, weaving its influence into the cultural, spiritual, and artistic fabric of Indonesia. Here, Rama becomes a secular icon revered by Hindus and Muslims alike, showing how mythology unites diverse communities. This article explores how the Ramayana journeyed through time, embracing new interpretations while retaining its core values of righteousness, devotion, and the triumph of good over evil. Introduction: Why is Ramayana everywhere, even in Indonesia? When I first heard of the Ramayana thriving in Indonesia, I was captivated. How could an Indian epic be so embedded in a predominantly Muslim country? The answer lies in history, adaptability, and shared human values.
