 had no reason to presume that stew weather was on the way, also because I had been assured by an idiot friend that it would definitely not rain, and that the black clouds overhead were deceptive. He knew. He had inside knowledge (the way he was talking, you would have thought he was on Thor’s Christmas card list). Anyway, to cut a long, and very wet story short, I listened to my idiot friend, proving myself to be even more of an idiot than him, braved the trip home from work on my bicycle, and arrived there psychologically preparing myself for pneumonia, cursing said idiot friend and once again wondering, as I wrung out my clothes, why, now you come to mention it, the local butchers are in fact closed in the afternoon. I could have popped to the supermarket of course, but their meat is often of appalling quality and imported (if I can buy good locally- or nationally-sourced meat, why should I get it shipped in from half-way across the globe?). So, meatless, I settled for a bowl of soup, and today, as I fill myself to the brim with aspirin and self-pity, having lost the will to cook, I will instead share with you something I prepared earlier, a few weeks back when it was still sunny here. For the carnivores among you, rest assured – a Sicilian-style stew will be along any day now. Presuming of course that I can wade my way to the butcher’s.
So, back to sunnier times, and tuna. Even though we’re well into autumn, fresh tuna still makes me think of the summer, the summer that all of a sudden seems so far away. Tuna at this time of year also means tonnetti, which, despite the name, are not baby tuna, but a species unto their own, albeit from the same family, scombridae. Don’t worry; I’m not going to give you an in-depth analysis of all the various species. Any kind of tuna will do, as long as it’s fresh. I love tinned tuna; well, I love tuna in practically any form, to be honest. But tinned tuna is for mixing with mayo and putting in sandwiches, or with capers for stuffing pickled cherry chillies. No, for this recipe, do yourself a favour and get something from the fishmonger. And for once, we needn’t worry about getting the names right either.
This is simplicity itself, which is what you need to buck up your spirits with the sudden arrival of autumn/winter/the new ice age. And it’s also sufficiently summery to kid you that it’s only a passing shower/tempest/biblical deluge. What lifts it out of the humdrum and excites the taste buds is the addition of lemon zest and mint. Lime also works wonderfully, as does some coriander, but that would start to give things a south-east Asian twist, and before I know it, I’ll have Sicilian housewives round beating me with rolling pins, so I’d better be careful.
Boil the tuna in salted water until cooked. The exact time will depend on how thickly your tuna is cut. You’re better off with a single piece than steaks for this recipe. A single piece of about half a kilo might take up to 25 minutes, but start checking it for doneness after 20.
Remove any bones from the tuna and break it up into flakes. Mix with all the other ingredients.
Tear off a few chunks of crusty bread to go with it, pour yourself a glass of something white, fresh and citrusy, tuck in and reminisce about summer.

BENGALURU: With a number of cases of assaults and robberies of cab drivers being reported off late, the soon to be launched cab aggregation app of cab drivers opposed to Ola and Uber, the TYGR app (earlier called HDK app) will feature an SOS button for drivers.This feature will enable the quick deployment of ready personals in case of any argument or dispute with the passengers.
There has been a delay of several months since it was announced that the app would be launched around Ugadi. The process of registering drivers for the app was started on September 21. Tanveer Pasha, president of the Ola, Uber and Taxi For Sure Taxi Driver and Owners Association says that as many as 20,000 to 30,000 drivers were ready to get registered. "The app for drivers is ready and we will launch the app for customers in October. The registration will take around 15 to 20 days. While companies strive the best for customers in terms of the services provided, the drivers are often left out,” says Pasha. There have been many cases of drivers suffering at the hands of unruly passengers, he adds.
He highlights that with the SOS feature a team will be deployed in various zones in the city who will carry out checks on the situation at the ground. “We are already in talks with a company who will provide trained people to work in this area. These teams will function in a manner somewhat similar to the police hoysalas and will roam around their respective zones and check on drivers and go the location of the problem,” says Pasha
Sufiyan Yaqoob, a cab driver says that while aggregators like Ola and Uber have a mechanism where drivers can lodge complaints, however most of the time they are more inclined to listen to customers rather than a driver’s grievances. “When you complain to these companies we can never expect a prompt redressal. Usually, they ask us to bear with the situation, drop off the passenger and then they look at the problem,” he says. Sufiyan is hopeful that SOS feature in the new app will solve problems immediately as planned.This design is a single and double seater sofa which gives users flexibility and control over their interaction with others. This furniture adapts to the user and reflects the kind of interaction they are up for. Through its design, the furniture exaggerates subtle body language indicators which are often missed and go unnoticed by people. Therefore it communicates to others, whether the person seated, is open to interaction or not.
By giving people an option to sit by themselves or with another, it is conveyed that sitting alone can be a choice and shouldn’t be rejected. This shall break the social stigma attached with being alone or sitting alone- which is generally linked to introverts. Also, since there is the possibility of a switch from a single seater to a double seater- by the same user, it also communicates that a person might have one dominant personality type at one moment and might have the temperament of the other extreme at another.
