Pune

It's strange how the Marathi pronunciation of Pune is. With the 'n' inflection, or is it a nasal sound, whatever - you get my drift...

Went to a meeting some 40 kms outside the city and got back to civilisation in the afternoon. Then went with colleague to Pune's MG Road, where Bangalore Bytes asked me to bring back Shrewsbury biscuits from Kayani Bakery.

Asked people for directions and walked some narrow, albeit clean, lanes to locate this Bakery.

It is this rather nondescript place with a shutter pulled down halfway to shield itself from the sunlight that we walked past completely.

Then walked across the road to this Irani cafe named Cafe Yezdan and had really, really milky tea. Guess 'special tea' means some serious amount of milk :-)
