Ramblings
Dilettante and I decided to meet at KFC for dinner (no review. We couldn’t bring ourselves to do one!). Junk food is a must, even if only once a month.
On the way, saw this beauty on Dickenson Road. A car park right under a “No Parking” sign. Heh.
Apparently when you enter Commercial Street you also enter a new legal zone, one where freedom of speech is muzzled.
And one where an air-conditioned shop is apparently a guarantee of honesty!
This used to be the best place of gulab-jaumuns in Bangalore, Madjos might even say India.
However, as with all things in Bangalore, it’s out with the old and…
…in with the new!
But some things don’t change, thankfully. It’s 5 bucks a piece now.
They also do some strange purification ritual at closing time. With incense, cleared my sinuses up pronto too!
Thanks to Dilettante I now have a new early morning hobby, even if it is an expensive one. I didn’t think I would like the game but there is some satisfaction in being able to hit an itty-bitty ball straight and true over a 100 yards.
Recluse sent me this link that details the current controversy over depictions of the Prophet. There is also a rather heated debate on at Sepia Mutiny. Freedom of speech? What’s your take?

hehe. It's pretty damn good but you can't do the 'wedding dessert' thing with this.
Ate one bite of the gulab jamun with the free ice-cream from KFC (from scratch cards) and it doesn't work.
I wonder if it's just a freedom of speech issue now. Considering that people are rioting and dying over this. Frightening.
That's a dangerous path to tread. Ought retractions to be made on the strength of the disagreement? If that's your argument, the rioters have won.
