Explained: Why Syria is a dumpster fire… again

TLDR: The real story in Syria is not that it is spiralling into violence—but that it reveals how great parts of the Middle East have now been left at Israel’s mercy—for Bibi to bomb or occupy at will.

Chef-restauranteur Megha Kohli, believes that Indian foods are all about pairing. She takes her experience and builds wholesome bowls that are nourishing and easy to whip up. She’ll even tell you the items you can batch cook. We’ve got Aab Gosht, a Kashmiri mutton curry in bowl style with each of its components. Finish the meal off with flair with a bruleed Indian dessert. Excerpted from ‘India in a Bowl’, by Megha Kohli with permission from Roli Books ( ).

Jungle Books: Stories set in the Indian forests

In this beautiful list of forest-themed books, Amritesh starts with the literal and arrives at myths and legends, gothic ecology, and the sociological margins in the forests. There’s a tiger telling his own tale and the perspective of a tree at the brink of destruction.

Hearts and spades: A history of playing cards

Editor’s note: This wonderful piece goes back into the history of playing cards—over thousands of years ago! European, British, Mughal, art nouveau, and even a deck by Air India. They’ve served advertising, humour and art. And did you know that the joker was absent in the early decks?

The piece was first published on The Heritage Lab ( )—a wonderful resource of stories on cultural heritage, art, museums and lots more. You can find other wonderful essays on art and culture over at their website.
