In this captivating episode, Ramya and Rachel take you on a historical journey, starting from a time when 10 grams of gold cost just ₹88 in 1947 to the staggering ₹52,000 it costs today. For a bit of perspective, back then, a Mumbai to Delhi flight was more expensive than gold, whereas now you can fly for as low as ₹999. They explore how gemstones and diamonds have shaped our early history and delve into how gold influences not only our fashion but also our savings habits.

India’s relationship with food has evolved from simple home cooked meals made usually by a battalion of women slaving in the kitchen or family cooks to Michelin star chefs swinging by for a curated pop up at 41,000 rupees for a seat at the table. How did we get here and what does our predilection for food made in India but authenticated by global trends mean? To find out more about how we ate and how we eat out, listen to this week’s episode on Remembering it Differently with Ramya and Rachel.
