Alter Magazine #5 Launch
Alter Magazine is a monthly journal bringing to the world new literary writing on Science, Technology, and Progress, from South Asia. With every story, we aim to alter our readers’ views & perceptions, bringing to them contemporary geniuses, cutting-edge ideas, and pathbreaking discoveries. This is a living journal documenting the dreams and dilemmas shaping South Asia’s aspirations for progress, capturing the region’s diverse energies as it seeks not just advancement for itself, but to help write the next chapter of collective human progress.
Our latest issue takes up a crucial thermodynamics challenge: how to design a heat resistant ice cream for Indian summers?
An ice cream tub travels through factories, freezers, mom & pop stores, and the last mile before it reaches you — and at every step, heat finds a way in.
We dive into the strange, sometimes accidental science being used to make ice cream last longer. We’re unpacking the history of ice cream — its legacy from Mughal kitchens to Turkish street corners — and the sheer ingenuity behind a product loved everywhere, and designed for nowhere in particular.
We’re hosting a few friends to celebrate the launch of the piece at our favourite ice cream shop in the city. Join Chandhana and Sparsh to enjoy some cream for thought!
