Culinary (con)Fusion

There was this whiteboard with the daily speciality menu written on it. On it, iI found this.

Spanish Manchurian

Was it an exciting fusion of a Western European Nation and the Northeast region of China created in a Udipi hotel in South India? Was it a special dish conjured up to entice the dignitaries arriving from across the world for G20 conferences in IT capital of the world? What was it? I skipped my usual staple dishes and ordered this one with great anticipation.

It turned out that somebody just misspelt the English word for Keerai/Palak.

Is less really more?

I was proud that I'm not active in FB or Insta or Twitter or LinkedIn and therefore less prone to doom-scrolling. The only exception I gave myself was WhatsApp where real interactions with people I know can happen. 

The reality was most group interactions fell in one of the categories I listed and was sucking up so much mindspace. I still doom-scroll news sites. I should probably stick to a routine of reading a newspaper everyday to overcome the online newsfeed addiction too.
