Flavors: TV, Culture and Everyday Life

If you like short, sharp pieces about TV, culture, travel and everyday life, you’ll find posts that are easy to read and often spark a good conversation. Think of this page as a mixed platter: some items are sweet (golden classics), some are bitter (shows that miss the mark), and some are spicy (strong opinions about living abroad).

You’ll see a lot of TV talk here — new shows, old favorites, and the costs behind making what you watch. You’ll also find practical posts about life in India and abroad, and a few techy bits about home audio and streaming. These pieces aim to help you decide what to watch, what to skip, and how life looks from different places and perspectives.
