Man can't live on Masala Dosa alone


Man can't live on Masala Dosa alone, but he can try. I have been having the dosa everyday for breakfast. Such a simple meal but so good. Sometimes I end up having it for dinner as well. In this heat I never have a big appetite so sometimes I only have a juice for lunch. Combine this diet with hours of walking in this heat, no wonder I am losing weight.

Mangled up Mangalore


Mangalore is my first taste of a non touristic every day working Indian city. I'm stopping here for a day enroute from Goa to Kerala. I got here at 7am and I had planned to stay here the night to recover from the overnight bus trip. The bus to Kerala doesn't leave until 8.30 at night though, so I am out of here tonight as there is no reason to spend two whole days here.

Indian urban infrastructure is jerry-built at best, and in Mangalore you can see it in all its shambolic glory. You will be lucky to find 3 contiguous metres of unbroken footpath.

I passed a building site, while not typical, that's not out of place in the way things are done in India. On a normal construction site, demolishing and clearing the old structure first is de rigueur. As this photo shows, the construction of the new building is going on the same time as the demolition of the old building on the same block.

There is nothing much to see here but I thought I would go walkabout. The combination of dishevelled footpaths and a night without sleep defeated quickly. So I went back to the hotel to have an afternoon snooze to prepare for tonights overnight bus trip.

Coffee and Net Cafes in India


Cafe Coffee Day and iway internet cafes are two Indian franchises that seem have taken off as I have seen them everywhere so far.

Provocative Swastika


I have travelled around Asia enough to be used to seeing Swastika's everywhere. It has been used by Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism long before 1933.

The tilt of this swastika and colour scheme though is more Nazi than Eastern Religious.
