Bengaluru International. I just ate a Garden Vegetable Sandwich at Café Coffee Day.  “Vegetables” was onions marinated with masala spices. A lot of onions. Not ideal for non-onion-consuming Brahmins just before you seal them in a small space for 10 hours.. But good for me. In this moment, I'm amused by anything that comes between […]
