Atta Galatta started as a regional language bookstore. A haven for those with an insatiable appetite for native tongues. And where there’s interesting literature, there is bound to be exciting activity. It soon got popular as a venue for eclectic workshops, vibrant performances, book launches, group readings, moderated discussions, thrilling quizzes and much more.
People spent hours drowned in books, conversations and events. To keep their stamina going Atta Galatta infused coffee and delicious baked goodies into its offering. Little did they know that people would love it enough to buy it for their homes. The demand for flavourful, nutritious and freshly baked breads increased to such an extent that it had to be turned into a distinct venture. Serendipitously the name fell perfectly into this mix with Atta meaning dough in Hindi, play in Kannada and Galatta referring to a racket.
That’s how today, Atta Galatta’s two separate endeavours—books and breads—have come under the same cozy umbrella.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
