life catches you unawares. A place we were so apprehensive about, turns out to be friendlier than we had ever imagined. Or is it just prima-facie? Food, there sincerest desire, is well-satiated here. This place is a food-lover's haven.
It is soul-stirring to be able to connect to the thoughts and feelings of a flower-vendor woman who hankers after you to buy a string of jasmines, mumbling undecipherables. But you know exactly what she means. And it is quite funny when you ask for a glass of juice and the juice-wala picks up every fruit to confirm whether this is the one you asked for.
The saddest part is when you can't haggle and pay dearly.
The cake however goes to the sign-boards. You got to, ought to learn the language, you know!
