An indefatigable crusader against rampant wastage of food has vowed to connect the excess with underfed children who need it most
IT was July 6, 2015, eight-year-old Srideep’s birthday. His parents, Chandrima and Chandra Sekhar Kundu, had splurged on a party for him. In the end, there were masses of leftover food that even the catering men were unable to polish off. Much of it was trashed.
Later that night, Chandra Sekhar witnessed a scene that changed his life: two children rummaging for food in a garbage dump. One stood guard with a stick to fend off stray dogs; the other foraged the heap. On closer look, he realised, they were having biriyani—polishing off the rice and storing bits of meat in a plastic bag, to savour later. Stricken with remorse, Chandra Shekhar brought them home, gave them something to eat, but could not sleep that night.

Adrift Identities
The term 'ethnicity' has always been a murky concept for me. It would not be a stretch to claim that I have always felt considerably estranged from culture itself, like a balloon left adrift in the air, floating in limbo, unknowing of its origin and destination.

Anatomy of a Horror
In September 2025, survivor Marina Lacerda stood before the US Capitol and spoke publicly about Jeffrey Epstein for the first time. Her story, along with the account of Haley Robson, echoed the trajectory of many other victims, revealing a pattern of grooming, coercion and silence that endured for decades, and raising uncomfortable questions about power, accountability and whether justice has truly been served to Epstein's victims

The Audience is Present
Marina Abramović's work is active, alive and pressingly contemporary. At an uncannily youthful 79, she exudes an intimidating calm, despite the brutal images she guided us through at her lecture on the history of performance art last week at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale-from live fireworks against a man's leg to an eyeball being sliced open
