'Same same but different': Life as a domestic vs international student in Australia
SBS Punjabi visited Macquarie University during the 'Kickstart week' —the orientation period before the start of Semester Two—and spoke with Punjabi-speaking international and domestic students. The conversations revealed that although these undergraduate students all call Western Sydney's Macquarie University home for their higher education, this was one of the few similarities they shared. Not only their nationalities, but also their challenges, day-to-day lives, number of hours worked, and so much more, were 'degrees apart'. Delhi's Janav Satija talked about a day in his life, starting at 4:30 am. "I wake up at 4:30 am, catch a bus and then start my shift. I then come to uni at 2 pm to attend my classes," the 19-year-old international student said. He independently manages his cooking, house chores, studying, and work commitments. In contrast, Chandigarh-born Pranav Angrish, who grew up in Australia and is an executive on the university's 'Indian Society', has a different morning. The 19-year-old domestic student enjoys the benefits of living with his family. "My mum wakes me up around 8-9 am, and after that I attend my classes at university. I catch up with my mates afterwards and finish the day off by tutoring young students," he shared. Domestic and international students may be at one university, but each has a unique story to tell. Tune in to this podcast to hear from five students who share their challenges and experiences as students. For news, information, and interviews in Punjabi from Australia and the homeland, tune into SBS Punjabi live, Monday to Friday at 4 pm, on SBS South Asian , digital radio (channel 305 on your television) or via the SBS Audio app .

Sarina Kamini shares her easy tricks to making the perfect dal makhani curry at home
Sarina Kamini is a cookbook author and cooking school teacher specializing in regional Indian cuisine. Today, she is making dal makhani (Pronounced dal mak-knee) which is a lentil curry. Recipe below: Dal Makhani This isn't a dish on our regular family roster, and I can safely say that this is pretty much true of any family across India's regions. The weight and richness of dal makhani makes it a 'sometimes' dish, one that's ordered when eating out, probably alongside tandoor-cooked naan. I've included it here to demonstrate the impact of fleur de sel, showing how a single change in masala introduces a new library of sensory information. Serves 8 as part of a meal 24 hours before cooking ¾ cup (150 g) urad dal (black lentils) ¼ cup (50 g) rajma (red kidney beans) plenty of cold water For pressure cooking 3 cups (750 ml) water 2 teaspoons fine white sea salt For the main cooking phase 40 g (1½ oz) salted butter 40 g (1½ oz) ghee 1 onion, finely chopped 1 tablespoon crushed garlic 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger ½ cup tomato paste (concentrated purée) Masala 2 teaspoons fleur de sel 1 teaspoon Kashmiri chilli powder 1 teaspoon Ammi's garam masala (page 156) For simmering 1½ cups (375 ml) water To finish 20 g (¾ oz) salted butter ¼ cup (125 ml) pouring cream ½ teaspoon red chilli powder (optional) Method Soak the urad dal and rajma in plenty of cold water in separate bowls for 24 hours or at least overnight. Drain the soaked dal and beans and put them in a pressure cooker with the water and salt. Set on high heat and cook until the pressure cooker emits three or four jets of steam. Turn to medium, then cook for a further 15–20 minutes. Let the pressure cooker depressurise on its own, then check the dal. When cooked, the lentils and beans should hold their shape but be soft enough to mash. If not, pressure-cook for a little longer, then mash. Alternatively, cook the dal and rajma in a slow cooker or large heavy-based saucepan. Ensure the lentils and beans are soaked for the full 24 hours then cook in plenty of boiling water for about 90 minutes, until tender. Mash when cooked. For the main cooking phase, place a large heavy-based saucepan (I use my large Le Creuset casserole) over medium heat, then add the butter and ghee and cook until melted. Add the onion and cook for 5–7 minutes, until translucent but not caramelised. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 2–3 minutes, until the raw aroma dissipates. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2–3 minutes until it no longer smells raw. Add the masala and stir. Add the mashed urad dal and rajma mix and stir again. Lower the heat and add one-third of the water. Stir frequently, to prevent it sticking and burning, and to ensure a creamier result. When the water has worked into the dal, add another one-third and cook as before until worked into the dal. Repeat with the remaining water until the dal is rich and creamy. To finish, stir in the butter and cream – and the chilli, if using. Serve with basmati rice and a light sabji.

Anxiety Aunt: Help! Why am I attracted to someone I don't even like and how do I get over it?
Dear Aunty, I need your help. I have a crush on my someone I interact with through work. We don't work for the same company but are in the same building and our companies often collaborate on projects. The major problem is that this person is rude, arrogant, egotistical. He struts around like a peacock, behaves like he knows it all and is bad-tempered to boot. We cannot have a simple conversation without it ending up with some kind of show of superiority on his part. And yet, despite the fact he is impossible and awful, I find him incredibly attractive and often find myself thinking about him. I get so annoyed with myself but no matter how much I disapprove of him or his behaviour, it doesn't seem to temper the attraction. What is wrong with me? And how do I fix it? Yours, Frustrated Dear Frustrated, A British band once sang that love will tear us apart but my dear, often it is lust that wreaks the most havoc. First off, there is nothing wrong with you, Frustrated. But it sounds like there is plenty wrong with the object of your affection. Unfortunately, though, there is simply no rhyme or reason when it comes to the rules of attraction. It would require a degree in chemistry, or maybe that should be psychology, to figure out why two people often feel magnetically drawn to one another even if they don't actually like each other all that much or do nothing but argue and fight. Indeed, and One is speaking from experience here, often the most tumultuous relationships are the most passionate. These kind of relationships don't always make their way to your heart but they often sear your soul like a chemical burn. But while lust is an unruly beast One believes it is possible to tame it with some concerted effort. One would suggest you try to limit your interactions with the person in question, which could prove difficult if you see each other regularly. Talk yourself out of trying to accidentally bump into them around the building for instance and opt for email interactions rather than face-to-face conversations wherever possible. Mantras might also work, such as running through the person's negative traits at every possible opportunity and trying not to dwell on the way their eyes sparkle or that dimple that appears on their right cheek when they smile. Your Aunt understands it is not easy to suture a passion wound once the blood is gushing but if you do not wish to pursue a relationship with this person and truly want to stop thinking of them in a state of undress, then this is the best way to go about it. Looking for another job is a more extreme way of moving on but a tough decision if you love your what you do and where you work. One would only suggest this as a last resort, if you truly become so lovesick that you can see no other way to break free from this spell you are under. But take heart Frustrated, One is sure that you can get the better of these wayward feelings and will soon be wondering what you ever saw in the ungentlemanly gent in the first place. Speaking of being so besotted with someone that you lose all sense of reality, reports from One's spies in Scotland suggest the relationship between One's long lost sister Bessie and old Bert Saunders from next door endures. Of course, Bert will return with his tail between his legs sooner or later but in the meantime One is busy rifling through all the applications sent from loyal readers willing to take his place for weekly veranda gin sessions. The flurry of responses have truly warmed the cockles of your Aunt's heart even as this bitter cold threatens to see One's bits and pieces snap off.
