The hills of Meghalaya leave a foodprint on Kochi coast
Poring over Shakespeare texts one evening, a young Ahmedaki Laloo realised that a career in English Literature was not her calling. Pondering then on what is, she arrived at something she hadnt yet paid much interest in food. When I look back, the happiest moments in my life were when I was cooking, Ahmedaki Laloo (Chef Ahme) tells TNIE on the sidelines of Meghalaya Table pop-up at Brunton Boatyard Heritage Hotel in Kochi. It was a gradual realisation. Food made me happy. It felt celebratory. She didnt give up on her English degree though, much to the relief of her parents who insisted that a career in food must have a backup. After trudging through the three-year course, Ahme hopped on a long flight to South India. Udupi, to be precise a quaint little town by the sea. Here, she joined Manipal University to learn more about the culinary world and her place in it. TNIE in conversation with Chef Ahme @ Armoury restobar However, to really belong came with its own set of challenges. In our first practical class, the task was to identify the ingredients. There were about 30. I only knew three, Ahme recalls with a smile. But then, it was no laughing matter. A sense of dread befell her, prompting Ahme to ring home for some reassurance that she had not once again made the wrong choice. But thanks to a legion of mentors, I grew into the routine, developed essential skills, and before long despite hailing from the hills (or perhaps because of it) took a deep liking to coastal food, Ahme says. An internship at a top tier hotel in Bengaluru followed. Here, she leaned once again on her fondness for seafood and worked at their restaurant that specialised in coastal cuisine. Thats when my life shifted. By then, food had indeed become my true love, she says. Chef Ahme Then, on one long journey back to Bengaluru after having visited Shillong, her hometown, it dawned on Ahme that though she has cultivated considerable skill in several cuisines, her own remained untapped, and there was much to learn from it. My ancestry traces its lineage to Khasi and Jainti hills in Meghalaya, and even Bengal. Its a blend of all three. Each boasts a distinct culinary practice and experience, and, of course, texture and taste, says Ahme. I leaned into that. I was committed to studying our indigenous food more thoroughly, and to show to all its richness, she adds. Her brand AOrigins became an outlet to achieve that. Through regular pop-ups, it bridges Meghalaya to the world by way of food. Chef Ahme takes a break after her shift at Brunton Boatyard Heritage Hotel Our aim isnt just to feed people, but to give them a glimpse into our culture, and thus preserve it, says Ahme. Indeed, the pop-up at Brunton Boatyard also features weaves from Shillong as table linen and runners, and bamboo baskets. Staff also don traditional accessories. Food is, and has always been, a soft power. Western influences currently dictate what goes on our dining tables. But I believe the northeast cuisine has much to be celebrated, she says. To build this bridge is not difficult in Kerala, points out Ahme. There are similarities between our cuisine and yours. Back home, rice is identity. It is the case here too. Then, tapioca, turmeric, cashews, bananas, even the pride in local produce. That shared energy makes it easier, she says. Chef Ahme in action. Background: History restaurant @ Brunton Boatyard Though the Meghala Table pop-up concludes this weekend, Ahme promises to be back. This is a place that keeps calling you back. The values, the hospitality, the richness of the land and sea. Theres so much to learn. This is my first pop-up here, but certainly not the last, she says. On her return to Shillong, she also hopes to take something back. My dream is to marry our food with coastal cuisine. The bridge, she says, goes both ways. Food, at the end of the day, is about sharing. Even if were from different parts of India, once we sit together to eat, bonds form. Language can be a barrier. But food never is. The Meghalaya Table pop-up concludes with lunch on September 27, 2025. To reserve a table, contact Brunton Boatyard at 7510432203.

19 years on the run, Gujarat police arrest disguised fugitive in Karnataka
AHMEDABAD: After 19 years on the run, Gujarats Surat City police have finally nabbed Naresh Kesrimalji Rawal, the prime accused in a brutal 2007 robbery and murder case. Rawal, who had been living under a fake identity in Karnatakas Udupi district, was arrested by the Special Operations Group (SOG) in a dramatic undercover operation. Surat city DCP Rajdeep Singh Nakum said, The SOG team arrested a wanted accused carrying a reward of Rs 45,000. Back in 2007, when he was working as a driver, he and his accomplices killed and robbed a security guard. Our team tracked him down to Udupi, Karnataka, where he was finally arrested. Surats most wanted fugitive, Naresh Kesrimalji Rawal, has finally been captured after evading the law for 19 long years. Rawal, the prime accused in a 2007 robbery and murder case, was arrested by the Surat Special Operations Group (SOG) in Udupi, Karnataka, where he had been hiding under a false identity. The dramatic case traces back to Umra, Surat, where Rawal, then employed as a driver for a family whose sons lived abroad, plotted a deadly robbery. Exploiting his access to the house, Rawal brought in his accomplice Ravi Pandey and tipped off partners-in-crime Vijay Gupta and Santosh Gupta. On the fateful day, Rawal and his gang held the elderly couple hostage and murdered the watchman who tried to resist them. They escaped with gold ornaments and foreign currency worth over 2 lakh, leaving behind terror and bloodshed. Police acted swiftly and arrested Vijay and Santosh Gupta, but Rawal and Pandey vanished without a trace. Rawal, the mastermind, hopped across cities Mumbai, Chennai, Belgaum, Uttara Kannada frequently changing his name and identity to dodge law enforcement. With a Rs 45,000 reward announced for his capture, the trail ran cold until a recent intelligence tip-off revealed that he was living in Udupi. Acting on this lead, SOG officers disguised themselves as South Indian traders, infiltrated the locality, and confirmed his identity. Rawal had assumed the name Nirmal Kesrimalji Korawar, working as a marble labourer and driver while marrying a local woman from the Korawar community to blend in further. After days of surveillance, SOG finally pounced and arrested Rawal, bringing a two-decade-old manhunt to a dramatic close. Police also revealed that Rawal had two earlier housebreaking cases registered at Surat citys Umra police station in 2005, highlighting his deep-rooted criminal history. His associate Ravi Pandey, however, remains at large, keeping the investigation active.
