Nikhil Kamath saw it. Nirmala Sitharaman made it official.
I remember the first time I had makhana in my bowl.
Tasted it, felt like popcorn.
Not exactly, but close.
My mom said, “It’s very healthy.”
I didn’t believe it.
But this? Actually tasted good.
Rich in protein, it seems.
Fast forward to budget day, I’m half-listening, and suddenly, I hear Nirmala ji talking about makhana allocations.
And right then, Nikhil Kamath’s post about it pops up on my head.
I’ve been following him and his podcast for a while, so suddenly seeing these two things connect? That felt kinda cool.
Usually, it’s either I know one thing and not the other, or I wonder why I should even care.
But knowing both and choosing to ignore something? That’s far better than not knowing it at all.
At least now, I can understand the discussions happening around me.
I know, perspectives might change in the future.
For now, it’s my cup of tea.
