Beauty standards and emotional eating: much better tastes await us
SKETCH love? A tubby-chubby Katie-girl' aged 10. She's enjoying a scoop of banana pudding ice cream. Her dad has sneaked her into the parlour, behind mom's back. It's their 'place'. Describe love? Her dad breaking the rules of diet-watch to keep the rules of being her top cheerleader.
An episode on NBC drama, This is Us, is déjà vu to many of us. It brings back mixed emotions-about food and love, acceptance and judgement, beauty standards and weight issues.
The Cotton Candy Cave
Have you noticed how many generations of parents and grandparents unite in their love language? It is food. Reaching inside their wobbly old talcum-scented purses and bringing out candy. Sneaking in chocolate bars. Late night, early morning or oddtimed walks, bus rides, scooter rides. To this ice-cream parlour, that street food joint, the sweets shop. Birthday special. Family celebrations. Shady, ritual regulars' restaurants. Unaffordable, photo frame worthy, culinary indulgence places. Socio-economic fault lines don't break this code. It could be as simple as a lollipop made out of rice and honey. But our elders always manage to say, 'I love you'. Handing us something to lick-something that makes both our stomachs and our eyes light up at once.

Fully-loaded Magazine
It was in 2012 when I walked into the Delhi Outlook Magazine office and realised that this was a place that was throbbing with a rare energy that newsrooms are known for and I knew I'd always keep that intact. To be on the other side of a media organisation is a difficult road to navigate and yet, it comes with a unique fulfilment that I have felt often as I have defended the editorial freedom and integrity as the CEO.

Diary
Over 30 years ago, when I joined the weekly Sunday as a reporter, everyone around me said it was a big mistake. 'The age of magazines is over' was the chorus. Sunday Magazine did close down for various reasons but the age of magazines was not over. Evidently, it still isn't as this special issue of '30 Years of Outlook' proves. There is something exciting, unpredictable and complete about a magazine. The thrill of sitting down with a new edition of a magazine, holding the cover to the light to examine its design, opening the first pages, to look at the contents to savour what's inside, then to flip the pages to give a look-see at the various stories and articles, stopping at some stunning photograph or an illustration, and then finally zeroing in on which article to start reading from is a unique experience.

To Men Who Write Women Off
“Women feel differently, so they talk differently, have a different relationship to words and to ideas of which these are the vehicle. Asserting difference at the same time as demanding equal rights is obviously the position to take. We must impose female cultural models, which have a universal value in a world where ‘universal’ equals ‘masculine’. In other words, cultivate marginality until the margin takes up half the page. We have a long way to go...”—Marina Yaguello, French linguist
