A colourful roadside advertising kiosk in Gurgaon caught my eye. It featured a close-up of a copper patila of Hyderabadi biryani, each golden grain of basmati aglow in succulent detail as an imagined symphony of spices suffused the monsoon-laden air with an ambrosial aroma.
The ad was for a kitchen appliance, the USP of which was that unlike other devices of a similar nature that cook one dish at a time, this could cook two dishes simultaneously. Ek ticket, do mazaa.
