Restaurant of the Week
Soy Soi - Kotturpuram
Soy Soi serves a dynamic range of Pan Asian cuisines. It covers the entire southeast Asian belt, encompassing the likes of Burmese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Singaporean, Japanese, and Malaysian cuisines through its vast menu. The factual parts of the menu stating few unknown insights about Pan Asian cuisine make for a good read. They even guide you about sushi, defining it, how to eat it, etc., something not many Pan Asian restaurants do.
The dishes you find on Soy Soi’s menu are hard to find anywhere else in Chennai. They handpick the classics and prepare them in the most authentic way. The Asian influence exudes to the restaurant’s final dessert course too. Soy Soi has to be one of the most arresting dining rooms in Chennai. Through black painted walls, eye-catching Asian murals, red furnishings and ambient lighting, Soy Soi creates a dynamic, dazzling space. Snag one of their booths.

All of us or at least most of us have fond memories of our grandparents. My older son Ashwin leaves for University in 2 weeks. Those who know me personally are aware that my parents are not just grandparents to my sons but are also co-parents. It's an emotional roller coaster ride at my home as we help him pack and leave. It's bitter-sweet. I came across this video recently and thought I should share it with all of you. To those who are blessed to still have their grandparents around do take some time out this weekend to check on them. To those who are grandparents, I wish you lots of happiness and joyous moments with your grandchildren.

"BRAVE SPACE" Hosted by Jason Kennedy
A space where:
We can share real stories of trauma, grief, and loss
We listen to others stories without judgment or trying to fix them
By listening to each other stories we share empathy, understanding, and let others know that they are not alone in this grief.
