DIGRESSION...... CAN I CALL IT???

....hmmmm been thinking of writing about a lot of things these days..unfortunately yet again was not able since the lack of time. Firstly what a boom on the share market index a probably 20 year high, a roaring 20k points....woah booming economy!!!... they, the gurus still predict it to go much higher and would be persistent. The then crème de la crème seem to have stabilised and the so called blue chips are roaring. Somebody said "it's the right time to invest mate".eh? Did I hear that right? May be you've got loads of money is what i thought. Well actually, me aint a guru nor can i make awesome predictions, but my gut feeling says that if tom, dick or harry thinks its the time to invest it better be in the retail industry, it's coming over the time to get into the roaring future ahead. That's not because its just my gut feeling but if one has to look at the way that retail is going in India, it definitely has a good turn out and looking ahead that the western world also is trying to invest into the Indian market there would be a definite growth for the retail. If we have organizations coming out with low prices IPO’s I guess it is that very stock one needs to purchase. Well, being diplomatic that's purely my stance. Same are my views on the food industry.
Food industry reminds me of something, it's great being a foodie I guess, especially if you're a Bangalorean. This city in itself is a diverse city. If one had to visit the Gandhi Bazaar in the Basavanagudi area, one gets to have the best veg food probably in the entire Bangalore. Well, I have to talk about the "Vidhyarthi Bhavan" . This place came into existence sometime in the pre independence era, when the revered H.Narasimhaiah talked to the owners of this age old restaurant which in itself stands as a legend right in the busy area of Gandhi Bazaar into opening this place so that it would be helpful for all those students who studied in the then National College. Time went by and this place was converted into a pure business center. Trust me, one can find a mob yet in the evening times… absolutely no need to say my father is still a devoted visitor to the dosa abode of Bangalore. Well I should confess although the taste doesn’t remain persistent as it were years ago it still does a great deal of difference when compared to a lot of other dosa places in and around Bangalore. If you are a veggie, you can have a dosa or two as a heavy breakfast and then have a sumptuous meal in the afternoon and you can still smell the dosa on your fingertips. Awesome!!!!!!!!

This crap actually started off just recapitulating a lecture that I was attending to in the same old boring PG classes of mine…… err not actually boring…… services marketing… cool prof ….nice way of handling a mundane topic…. Here was himself talking about the services offered by various multi starred hotels…. Oops me aint worthy yet. That actually triggered the worm within to think about the revenues generated across and how it actually contributed to the index high and all stuff and then followed my favorite topic of being a foodie.. …

Guess am digressing a little too much. There are innumerable joints here in namma bengaluru at which one can really enjoy his/her day out at a very minimal cost. The next ofcourse I would be bound to mention is none other than the “Mavalli Tiffin Room” or famously known by its alias MTR ….. slurp!!!! The thali served in a sliver plate and all the fluids served in the silver tumblers….. mind boggling….

Alright done with MTR…. One needs to amble down the alleys of visheshpuram, probably on a balmy evening….be cautious its most definitely not for the hygiene and the health freaks around.

I remember of one of foodventures on this street called the “Eatery Street” for probably the firangs or “ Shettar beedi” for the old forgone bangaloreans . Yes this is very much ofcourse the visheshpuram. Me and a couple of chaddi buddies strolled down the street. Woah what recepies….. it started off with the boiled sweet corn then down to the roadside dosas, name the kind of dosas….. masala, set, plain, onion, rava, rice dosa…. You read it right… rice dosa…. Dosa and a layer of rice on it roasted. Then probably you have by far the most famous bonda shops on the street followed by dry chats, sweet meat stalls, ofcourse a masla softdrink shop as well….. awesome!!!!

The street ends yet again in a food place…..V.B.Bakery probably the best bakery in Bangalore.

The entire crap seems to me just like the epitome of digression…. I don’t know… am lost yet again in transition

Will be back with more some more ameegos

Hastala Victoria Siempre

Your’s Truly
