Gourmands, go the distance!

These small shops are nestled en route to Nandi Hills.' Meanwhile, Vijetha Viswanath says there's nothing more satisfying than a plate of soft idlis. She says, 'With absolutely no added preservatives or components to fluff them up, Bidadi serves one of the best thatte idlis I've ever eaten. Served with multiple options of chutneys including red chili chutney, coconut chutney and lentils curry, this certainly is the perfect combination for a great Indian breakfast. You can also try the crispy and hot vadas with a glass of strong filter coffee to relax after the drive. The best part is, all of the aforementioned dishes add up to just about `60.' She and her biker friends wake up as early as possible on some weekends to get to this eatery on time. Anand Srinivasan, a self-proclaimed biryani connoisseur, began his food journey in the search for the best biryani served in the country in 2007. He believes that biryani is certainly one dish that ensures a smile on anybody's face. Anand says, 'In my search for the best, I tried the biryani at Mani's Centre in Hoskote and surrendered myself to it. Served in eco-friendly plates, this dish is spicy and delivers a host of flavours on your palate at the same time. Several food lovers take their biryani cravings very seriously and travel to Hoskote from as early as six am to feast on this scrumptious dish. This particular place has strict and short timings. They are open just between 7.30 am and 10 am on Monday to Friday, closed on Saturdays and are open from six am to 10.30 am on Sundays.' Biker Alisha Wilson shares her favourite pitstop. 'The Lakshmi Tiffin Centre, in Mulbaglu, around 96 kms from Bengaluru, has a dish that's worth travelling for.

MP teachers who fail second efficiency test face termination

The officials said that as many as 5,700 teachers were asked to take the test and its results were announced in July. They added that about 1,400 teachers could not clear the test despite it being open-book. A three-month training was held for the teachers, who failed the test, and were asked to reappear for it on Monday. Jayshree Kiyawat, a school education department official said, that the first test was conducted to fill the learning gaps between teachers and students and to know their efficiency. 'But the results stunned us because about 1,400 teachers could not even score 32% marks. We organised the training to give them another chance. But if they fail again, we would not allow them to spoil the future of students.' She said that the results of the second test were being collected and still many may be unable to clear it. 'The exact number will be known in a few days but it is clear that such teachers, who are not able to clear the second test, too, are incapable of teaching,' she added. Chaudhary said that their focus is to improve the quality of education and that is impossible without having quality teachers. 'We are not going to allow such ineligible teachers,' said Chaudhary. 'The decision of forced retirement and termination will be taken on the basis of age of the teachers. The teachers above 50 will be asked to take retirement.' School education department principal secretary Rashmi Arun Shami said that they are making all efforts to improve the quality of education. 'That is why we imparted training to teachers. This is for the first time in the country when the school education department conducted an efficiency test of teachers.'

Read about the woman who's breaking the mould: Meenakshi Lekhi

Are any of the characters inspired by real life? It's purely a fictional reconstruction of the twists and turns around the seat of political power in Delhi, and carries no resonance with any real people or event. It's a work of fiction, an exciting thriller that revolves around a conspiracy to assassinate the fictional Prime Minister-Raghav Mohan. The protagonist-politician named Vedika Khanna-stumbles on the conspiracy and creates her secret team to solve the mystery. In the process she unearths a horrifying international plot. Since the protagonist is a woman politician, people will try to draw inferences. Also, you always draw your creative ideas from the realities around you, and that's how it is. Not many thrillers boast a woman protagonist. Was it a conscious decision? You've pointed out an important aspect of this thriller that makes it really unique. It's a creative manifestation, in a novel way, of the emerging power of women in India. When women are breaking gender stereotypes everywhere, I don't think readers would be intrigued to find a woman protagonist investigating an assassination trail.Is the fact that you are a politician, make this a political thriller? As I mentioned, you always draw your creative ideas from the realities around you, hence politics will certainly find resonance with creative aspects of my life. Did you ever hit writer's block while penning this book? Not really, because I had a well-formed storyline from the beginning to the end and enough clarity on what I needed to portray or how. I was also armed with extensive research on different aspects of the story that prevented from going adrift.Have you thought of developing a series around Vedika Khanna? A lot of ideas are brewing inside me at the moment. But as of now, I haven't particularly thought of any particular Vedika series. I'd take up another creative assignment only if it sufficiently excites me. How many drafts did the book go through? Oh, it was just one write-up from the beginning to the end, though I kept tweaking even during and after the final draft. A writer is never fully contended with his or her writing even after the book has been printed. Why are there so few women thriller writers in India? Well, at least you have one now. On a more serious note, I believe-though it may sound stereotypical-women are more comfortable with issues of love, marriage and relationships. Thrillers set amid guns and violence, and larger-than-life plots don't appeal to their creative sense. But there have been some very well-known women thriller writers: Patricia Highsmith, Shirley Jackson and Agatha Christie, for example. Even in India, a few names are cropping up in the action-thriller genre. Since you are also part of the ruling party, do you think the government should promote setting up public libraries? Yes, of course. Government both at the central and state levels should build and upgrade libraries. Also, the culture of going to public libraries or reading rooms should be actively promoted. You are a lawyer, an activist, a Parliamentarian and now, an author. What role do you enjoy the most and why? It all depends on the subject and the circumstances I am in. QUICK TAKES An author you disliked at first but grew into: Bertrand Russell As a writer, what would you choose as your spirit animal?: Owl-I've been worshipping it since the time I took to writing. Audiobooks, physical books, or e-books?: Physical books, e-books, audiobooks in that order Do you Google yourself?: No Your favourite reading nook: My throne in my bedroom The New Delhi Conspiracy By: Meenakshi Lekhi Publisher: HarperCollins Pages: 304 Price: Rs 299 DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Iceland diaries!

Vi Anand checking the light on the sets in Iceland. 'Although it is winter time, the weather is very unpredictable — suddenly it rains then suddenly there's a mist and complete snow,' he shares, adding, 'There was snowfall on the first day of the shoot, while it rained the next day. But we somehow managed to get used to the chilly temperatures and completed our shoot.' Anand explains that these glaciers hardly melt, and that the compacted snow helps the car tyres to get a grip. 'But unfortunately, one day, the ice started melting. And although we travelled in a special vehicle fitted with modified tyres, we skidded off and were stuck in the snow. It was with great difficulty that we managed to pull the car back on track,' he recounts. The director admits that shooting on the glacier is a risky proposition. 'But our story needed such a landscape and we wanted to provide a thrilling visual experience to the audience, thanks to producer Ram Talluri for his support,' he shares, adding, 'We are extremely happy with the kind of stunning visuals we got in Iceland. It was worth our time and effort.' As for the food, the director smiles as he reveals, 'We asked the chef to prepare butter chicken and rice for us during our short stay.' ...

Passengers tie up drunk man with plastic food wrap after he tries to open plane door

Chinese woman opens plane emergency door for fresh air, delays flight While the in-flight doctor was trying to calm the man, passengers and cabin crew attempted to restrain him using a plastic food wrap. However, when they were unable to do so, the plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Uzbekistan, where the man was arrested, the Metro reported. However, the drama didn't seem to end there. Despite being a no-alcohol flight, two more drunken passengers got into a tiff once the plane took off and again had to be restrained by the crew. A few minutes later, a third man was caught smoking in the toilet of the Nordwind Airline aircraft and was arrested by Thai police when the plane eventually landed in Phuket.
