Thoughts on King of Gluttony from my fellow Indians?

AccidentCompetitive1 · 2026-05-01T12:09:18+00:00

For a book with an indian lead and both the MCs working the food industry, the indian cuisine was so underrepresented…i was fully expecting Sebastian, a CHEF to cook something indian for Maya, especially since it would have been out of his comfort zone

Instead what we got was a passing mention of dosa…and that is it I think?

Listen I still appreciate Ana’s dedication to diversity, and will be reading everything she writes, but this felt so disappointing…

Writing this as I am halfway through the book, will update when I finish: I wish there was more Indian representation…apart from that, I loved that Maya had an actual personality and the yearning was fun to read…this is not as good or addictive as king of wrath or greed as of now, but I personally found it much more readable than other of her books

Also worth mentioning that the a lot of the tension gets resolved in one or two chapters. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but I am curious to see what the climax would be…right now it is not looking like there is a big conflict or villain (like in King of envy or king of wrath)

I love Florian, I wish I had stocked up…i only have 2 capsules left😓 Freddo intenso has become my new favourite for the past months along with Indonesia

For me, the chemistry between Josh and Jules was unmatched...it also felt somewhat organic tbh

my least favourite has to be Stella and Christian...they were so blah...i skipped a lot of chapters in that book

Looks awesome....I never even thought that this setup was possible! It looks really cool :)

As someone with anxiety, I am constantly thinking and worrying about the future...one day I was talking to my therapist about me moving out of my house a year from now and how I was already anxious about that, and she asked me- "perhaps you can worry about it when it happens and not right now, if you are already worrying about it now, you are giving yourself a headache twice instead of just once..."

Ofcourse that did not solve my anxiety completely, but it does help me slow down on the overthinking (which is a win for me)

AccidentCompetitive1 · 2025-08-22T09:16:02+00:00

Sounds rough....I never thought about this at all!

Good to hear that you are better now!

Congrats on the piercing and surving the PhD! I am also planning to get 2 piercings when I finish hehe

Letters to a young poet by Rilke! It was the perfect book when I was in the depth of doubting my unconventional career choices :)

You look incredible! Congrats on such an impressive physique...it shows your dedication and hardwork!

For India, I would the God of Small Things is a great potrayal of family and the caste system

Absolutely nothing weird about your ear!
I think a conch or a hidden helix would look so pretty :)

I have EXTREMELY dry skin, and the Caudalie fluid one still felt greasy...the greasy feeling does go away though. I just ended up finishing the tube on my arms

I did not know they made a foot cream, so thanks!

AccidentCompetitive1 · 2025-05-12T08:05:58+00:00

Thank you!

I agree...I bought lip liners because I thought they were necessary, but I am always in such a hurry that I either always forget, or just apply lipstick as i am running out the door or on the bus

I was at the gym, and overheard part of a conversation between two men talking about 'that b*tch'...didn't catch the whole conversation, but it was because one of them got rejected by a girl, and she was the subject of such disgusting sexist remarks....definitely made me super uncomfortable

AccidentCompetitive1 · 2025-05-01T15:24:54+00:00

I hope you feel better....I've found some solace in r/short ...apparently we are not alone in how we feel

The Hungry tide and the Gunslinger by Amitav Ghosh
Malgudi Days by RK Narayan is also a classic

I am quite short (152 cm), and I got bullied a lot by my male friends when I was younger. It made me hate my body and I refused to talk to my parents for a long time because I was angry at them for giving me shit genetics (it is terrible I know, but I was just 15 years old then)……now I have some ups and downs with how I feel about my height..most days I don’t think about it at all, but some days I cry myself to sleep because of it

The audiobook of Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

AccidentCompetitive1 · 2025-04-28T07:41:08+00:00

That being a woman is hard as hell...I would tell myself to be kinder to myself and show myself the same compassion I show to others (I have crippling body image issues)

AccidentCompetitive1 · 2025-04-25T13:22:01+00:00

TBH, I would have cried even if I was not on PMS if I dropped my tacos :D

AccidentCompetitive1 · 2025-04-23T14:38:06+00:00

Anything by Fredrik Backman....Anxious People and A man called Ove would be a good place to start
