John and I just got back to work from a quick dinner and book
store trip. I have a SEED phone-in meeting that goes late tonight
(and another tomorrow night).
Last week, Venkatesh recommended a delightful bookstore:
-
Gangarams Book Bureau
72, M.G. Road
Bangalore – 560 001
phone: 2558-6189 or 2558-7277 or 2558-8015
We were running out of books – having read the dozen we brought
from home. We bought Terry Pratchett and Garth Nix (“The
Keys to the Kingdom” books 1-3, one of them signed!) and
Bill Bryson’s The Lost Continent. They still don’t have
the 2nd book in Patrick O’Brian’s Master and Commander
series in stock. (I only brought the first book with me.)
They said maybe tomorrow.
After Gangarams, we had a quick dinner at the nearby Hotel Empire, at #36
Church Street. Church Street is where most of our favorite Bangalore
restaurants are. We ate tandoori chicken and butter naan with
appropriate dips and sauces. I used to think that tandoori chicken
was too spicy. I don’t know if India has redefined my concept
of spicy or if the Indian recipes at home are hotter, less fragrant.
In either case tonight’s was a delicious, fast, and simple dinner.
