The Thing With Feathers’ Delhi run will be staged at the OP Jindal Auditorium on September 26 and 27, 2026 Aadyam Theatre, an initiative by the Aditya Birla Group, brings its fourth showcase, The Thing With Feathers, to Delhi this September. Directed by Rajat Kapoor, this play – set against the backdrop of one of the most unsettling times of the 20th century – packed auditoriums in Mumbai, with its houseful first run. Now, the play is all set for its Delhi run at the OP Jindal Auditorium on September 26 and 27, 2026. Co-written by Rabia Kapoor and Chandrachoor Rai, The Thing With Feathers takes place between the golden decades of the first half of the 20th century. Unlike other productions centred around war and revolutions, this play revolves around ordinary people navigating through these extraordinary times.. Amid the conflicts, they are confronted with loss and separation, yet they find ways to love, live, and hope again. The play, at its heart, is a story about love and loss that unfolds across continents, times, and contexts, asking a pertinent question: when lives transform drastically, amidst changing times, what illuminates the human soul to persist? Through the show, an intelligent narrative device is used in the form of birds as characters, that act as witnesses to this metamorphosis, taking us on a journey of self-revelation about our past and the choices made by human kind that led us to where we are today. The cast is an ensemble of some of the most celebrated names in the industry, including Vinay Pathak,Mantra, Neil Bhoopalam, Bhavya Rampal, Waris Ahmed Zaidi, Chandrachoor Rai, Amit Purohit, Radhika Mehrotra, Vidhushi Chadha, Bhagyashree Tarke, and Aarsha Mukherji. The production team consists of experienced technicians and crew, with Isha Ahluwalia as Costume Designer; Vikrant Thakar as Lighting Designer; Sameer Shaikh as Executive Producer; Hussain Zaidi and Amit Purohit supervising backstage production; Aditya Narayan designing the music; and Meena Agarwal as Production Designer. Throughout this season, Aadyam Theatre has upheld its decade-long ethos of nurturing storytelling and bringing the best of Indian theatre. The Thing With Feathers is looking at history with a new lens, bringing forth a story about the quiet persistence of the human soul and resilience in turbulent times. Tickets are available on BookMyShow. Experience history like never before through an intimate human lens, telling the story of hope, love, and rising again.

As Mumbai settles into the monsoon season, MOKAI introduces a new menu of comforting food and seasonal beverages designed for rainy-day indulgence. From handcrafted hot chocolates and specialty coffee experiences to hearty sandwiches, warming bowls and nostalgic desserts, the menu brings together familiar flavours with MOKAI’s signature approach to modern café dining.

Leading the new beverage menu is MOKAI’s Hot Chocolate Collection, featuring six handcrafted variations ranging from a smooth 38% cacao to an intensely rich 85% cacao, each designed to suit a different palate. Matcha lovers can savour the Dirty Matcha Latte, where earthy ceremonial matcha meets bold espresso beneath a velvety matcha espuma, while the refreshing Espresso Cloud pairs espresso with delicately jasmine-infused coconut water for an unexpectedly light and aromatic cup. The indulgent Sicilian Pistachio Honey Butter Latte combines roasted pistachios with floral honey and buttery richness, while classics such as the Caramel Iced Latte and the Hot Chocolate Affogato offer comforting favourites with MOKAI’s signature touch. Adding a playful twist is the 55% Hot Mocha, served alongside soft, chewy chocolate mochi, while the Iced Yakult Matcha with Cold Foam delivers a refreshing balance of creamy, tangy and earthy flavours.

Coffee enthusiasts can also experience MOKAI’s Column Pour-Over, brewed using the Mano coffee machine, the first of its kind to arrive in India. Designed to bring out remarkable clarity, sweetness and complexity in every cup, it offers a refined brewing experience that celebrates the craft of specialty coffee.

Complementing the beverages is a menu built around wholesome ingredients and comforting flavours. The Watermelon & Arugula Salad brings together juicy watermelon, peppery arugula and a bright ponzu dressing for a refreshing start, while the Chicken Dan Dan Mian offers silky noodles coated in a deeply savoury, mildly spicy sauce that’s perfect for rainy-day cravings. Inspired by a nostalgic favourite, the MOKAI Style Fish O Filet layers crispy fish with tobiko tartar sauce inside pillowy Hokkaido milk buns for a comforting yet elevated bite.

For those looking to warm up, the Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Soup is paired with a decadent Four Cheese Sando, finished with fermented honey that lends a delicate sweetness to every bite. Spice lovers can turn to the fiery Bird’s Eye Chilli Wontons, while the Peanut Satay Grilled Chicken Sando delivers smoky grilled chicken layered with creamy peanut satay for a satisfying meal. The Scallion Grilled Chicken & Brie Wrap, also available in a keto-friendly option, combines tender grilled chicken with creamy brie and fragrant scallions, while the Popeye Scrambled Breakfast Wrap makes for a wholesome all-day favourite filled with fluffy scrambled eggs and nourishing greens.

The menu also introduces the Shoyu Hummus, where creamy hummus and cream cheese are elevated with a subtle spice kick and served alongside crisp 48-hour fermented sourdough crackers. Ending on a sweet note are two indulgent desserts: the Caramelised Onion Sebastian Cheesecake, offering a delicate balance of sweet and savoury flavours, and the nostalgic Milo French Toast, bringing together golden toast, chocolatey malt and comforting sweetness in every bite.
