Chew On This

Who doesn’t have fond memories of gorging on their grandmother’s food, flavours only she could whip up, and only some of which made it to her prized recipe book? Forty-one year-old Bhavi Jhaveri is bringing back that old and flavourful tradition with Nanee’s Flavours, a small business that retails traditional snacks made by four grandmothers.

Available in 14 stores across Mumbai and sold among friends and family, these mouth-watering snacks were initially based on the recipes inherited by Jhaveri’s mother-in-law Nayana, 77, and her sister Yamini, 65. But it wasn’t long before Jhaveri’s own mother Harshada, 65, and her friend from Jabalpur, 70 year-old Saroj joined the group, with Harshada’s mother’s secret concoctions adding to the delicious mix.

It was a nippy Sunday morning but nothing that would keep the rugged Delhiite away from the annual Senior Citizens’ Run supported by Harmony at the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon. Not even the mood-dampening smog that had descended on the capital a week earlier could do that! So said 74 year-old Sarla Rani and her band of regulars at the run who arrived at Nehru Stadium on the morning of 19 November even before the sun did. Soon they were joined by busloads of silvers from all over Delhi, Noida and Gurugram.
