Most home food caterers in Bengaluru have their hands full. During the peak of the third wave of Covid-19, they were even turning away new customers
Home cooks and caterers are in high demand as entire families who are down with COVID-19 are turning to them for nutritious meals. While COVID-19 cases in Bengaluru have been dropping rapidly, many families are simply isolating themselves at home when they get flu-like symptoms instead of getting tested. Most home food caterers in Bengaluru have their hands full. During the peak, they were even turning away new customers.
Nitin Krishna, a software engineer and resident of Konanakunte Cross, had to struggle for two days calling up multiple home food caterers before fixing one. “Most of the caterers I called had their hands full and expressed their inability to take on more orders for a few days. Finally, I got a caterer who delivers meals from a far-off area, but it cost me more,” he said. His entire family of four is down with COVID-19.

The silent reading movement in the Mylapore-Mandaveli-RA Puram area showed up first at Nageswara Rao Park around two years ago, with modest ambitions, when Balaji launched it along with other reading enthusiasts from the region.
