The second helping…


One of my social acquaintances - a voracious consumer of books, movies, TV serials, newspapers etc  mentioned he’d seen only one TV series again as in twice.  No, He wasnt showing off - but it was purely a mindset that a lot of folks have including my better half - my wife.

“Why are you watching this again, havent we seen this before?” if I am watching a movie on TV - one that we have seen before. I sigh and move on.

The Dhabas of India



My experience with Dhabas is very very very limited.  But whatever I had experienced was good enough for me to be a fan.

The popularity of Dhabas in India soared only in the last few decades.  No, people knew about this earlier, but they were only accessible when you were on the road - and therefore it is only post-liberalization with the growth of personal vehicles and with a lot more people on the road that Dhabas became the in-thing.
