Brun Maska and Chai

The sweet pleasures of Mumbai life. The bliss of having chai and brun maska is something which I miss. And having a classic Irani close by is double bliss. The minor pleasures of walking in. Going to the regular table (Oh the bliss of actually having a regular table) and having the waiter bring you the chai. And it is so much more blissful when you are all aglow with the healthiness of having walked a kilometer to have it. Nothing beats it. Not even the incessant inaneness of bratty mothers screaming for their kheema pav or inflecting their baby gossip on you......

Idle Thoughts of a bored stomach

Having spent 3 years plus away from Mumbai I returned about 3 weeks ago. In the recent past trips back have always been revisits to the same old places since the time to explore was minimal. But and this is a extremely big but now that I am back (hopefully for good)there seem to be very few places to explore. The food scene in the BMC limits seems to be dead. What gives ?
