Yup - flatter than an ironed cloth: we had Rs 400 between us with our wallets left behind at Kollur: they say gyan always hits after the event has passed. The irony is the Airport Hospitality Manager with whom we'd interacted earlier on the way, had said the Airport restaurant would be open by the time we arrived. I'm now convinced he was a dyslexic.
We found all the restaurants closed at Mulki. Then while we were left ruing our hungry turn of events, we found this dhaba just after Mulki, on the right, opposite the police checkpost. That wise gent who said not to judge a book by its cover surely must have meant this dhaba -I'll go on record in saying its food quality and taste humble those in all Bangalore restaurants. Its price - well, I'm now thinking of relocating next to that dhaba: Rs 110/- for 5 rotis, 2 veg gravies, 2 veg rice items and the sweetest natural water I've ever tasted.
I also got talking with the truckers who'd also pulled over there for dinner: they were heading to Mudhol. Nice camaradarie, and some jokes later we went our seperate ways.
PS: What was your family's feedback when you showed them the HIDs as I was backing out of your parents' house ?!
