The vanishing kitchen
For a moment, I thought the advertiser made a mistake by wrongly mentioning “3 BHW” instead of “3 BHK”.Out of curiosity, I entered the home and was awestruck to note that it was not an inadvertent error but a deliberate replacement of the letter “K” with “W”. There was no kitchen in the flat, only a posh workstation with latest gadgets and furniture, such as adjustable desks, office chairs, laptops, monitors, and keyboards. It had a small kitchenette with a vending machine for tea and coffee.This is the unexpected fallout of the phenomenal growth witnessed by the online food delivery platforms in the country in recent times, dislodging the kitchen from our homes and replacing them with work stations.
