Watch: "The Lunchbox" 

The 2013 film, "The Lunchbox" from director Ritesh Batra, is a heartwarming Indian film that tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a lonely office worker and a neglected housewife. The pair cross paths when there’s a mix-up in Mumbai's dabbawalas network, the city’s famous lunchbox delivery system. The unique friendship between the two forms the heart of this charming and beautifully crafted movie that explores love, connection and the small joys of life. You can watch “The Lunchbox” on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.

Listen: "Cape Verdean Blues" by Horace Silver 

Enjoy the soulful sounds of "Cape Verdean Blues" by American jazz pianist and composer Horace Silver. This album blends hard bop jazz—a subgenre of jazz that is an extension of bebop music that Silver helped pioneer—with influences from Silver's Cape Verdean heritage, creating a unique and engaging listening experience. It’s perfect for a relaxing afternoon with some upbeat jazz. Listen to “Cape Verdean Blues” here on Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube.
