    The Mira Press And That's How The Cookie Crumbles FOR STUDENTS, BY STUDENTS V O L U M E 5 1 8 T H N O V E M B E R , 2 0 2 0 From the Editors' Desk Have you ever heard of the term 'to break bread'? Derived from quite literally sharing a loaf of bread with another, the phrase has come to mean so much more recently; carrying the connotation of compassion, kindness and a sense of fraternity. There's something so irrevocably communal and comforting about the concept of sharing what keeps you alive: not just the physical food that you eat, but the bond that you create through sharing a meal. That's what we hope to extend to you in this edition of the periodical: some kind words inviting you to join us at our table, and a heavy- handed helping of good will. Take a seat, grab a plate, and enjoy yourselves as we dish up some of the best student articles for you to feast your eyes on. So, what are you waiting for? Dig in! Daily Diversity My extremely doting grandma could just not stop feeding me with all the different kind of dishes. This time she made me a special Boli Roti. Confused about what Boli Roti is? Well, it’s not a talking roti. It is a crazy food combination, where a roti (or a chapati) is fully immersed in ghee and then eaten with aamras, and it originates from Khargone. Ahhh! Talk about craziness! I have an extremely weird friend who makes me her prey for trying the food she makes.
