Life hacks by Orry
THE WEEK India|February 04, 2024

Life hacks by Orry

Orry has turned himself into a social media phenomenon and a national obsession, just by the dint of his hustle. Heck, if Karan Johar can interview him in the finale of Koffee With Karan, who am I to be so smug?

Orhan Awatramani hails from the Awatramani family that owns the West End Hotel in Mumbai’s Marine Lines. His aunt is the journalist Priya Ramani, now known for being acquitted in a defamation case her former editor M.J. Akbar filed against her. Orry and his parents live in a charming old building on Altamount Road with most of their family as their neighbours, and are known to be warm and friendly folk.

The bleat from the street

What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans

If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
