Day 1: The Central Tiffin Room

I got some sleep and woke up at around 8 a.m. We dropped my Aunt off at her school and drove around the old neighborhood. It is amazing how things have changed and yet, many things have stayed the same. We drove past Nobel prize winning scientist C.V. Raman's house, the Chitrapur Muth, which, if I were religious, would be a sort of religious center for my particular sect, as it were. We then drove to the Central Tiffin Room, where we had hot masala dosas and coffee by the yard. Soooo good!!!!! Hot hot dosas cooked in ghee (clarified butter) and coffee in a small tumbler (little bigger than a peg) and a small bowl in which to cool it. The coffee is transferred into the little bowl from the tumbler and back again until it reaches drinkable temperature. Love it! Crossing the street has been interesting. You look for a break in traffic and make a run for it.
