There are two things I just Love to do it anytime. Travel with company of close friends (to be particular, its Sesh, Vasuki, Bhoo and Ams) and eating. Though I am out of my home country right now, but these are the most missed things and I feel if these things should be shifted somehow here in UK.

After a hell of hectic week (I am not sure its due to work or due to something else), we had company of Sesh and Vasuki to hang around. And to know all the perfect locations, there could be no one except Mr. Seshraj who could guide us. Born and brought up in Bangalore, he knows each corner and at which place what is best prepared. Apart from experiencing best South Indian cuisine including our national breakfast Dosa, under his valuable guidance we have tasted it all in South Bangalore.

From SLV near Ramkrishna Ashrama, Brahman café to MTR near Urvashi theatre, he is never tired of driving and always be with us all the time taking us through nooks and corners of Bangalore. There are instances when we had breakfast in “South Thindees” in Jayanagar and had evening coffee in Siddharth in Mysore. There are innumerable number of such memorable journey we had, sometimes we felt crazy about ourselves, but we really enjoyed all the Trip.

My lecturer in collage used to tell “If you are failing to PLAN, the you are planning to FAIL”. Well, sir without planning we have made all of our trips successful and we really enjoyed it.

Times when Vasuki/Ams felt bored, Sesh never got bored to drive and take us along on some real long trips. Some trips we explored old architectures, but some purely meant for Food. As a group we never planned to go to a particular place, but only decided when we crossed the city limits of B’lore and hit the highway.

Well, here was one more thing. Most of the times, this was the toughest task – Where should we get food ?

It’s not because we have less choice, but because we had tasted in most of them. Sometimes it used to take 10 min to decide and sometimes it’s close to 45 min.

Apart from these, we had (have) two groups in here.  One, who loved typical South Indian food and another group which loved (Loves) Pizzas, Noodles and all Junk food. And the later category has Bhoomi and me…

My Search for good food continues here during my stay in UK and I miss terribly company of Sesh and Vasuki.

With guidance from my local colleagues here, I search extensively for Indian Restaurants and café’s. When my colleague Graham informed that “Chicken tikka” is the most extensively liked national dish of UK, I was quite shocked. We get Darjeeling and Assam tea as well and that’s also a part of breakfast. All in all quite a bit of connection between India and UK and I am loving it.  Local people here love to explore Indian options and love the curry and spices. And well, that’s the reason British came to India in search of Black gold.  A place like UK which is more about multi-culture and multi-ethnic, I am successful in searching Asian (rather Indian) shops and hotels and take-aways. Though, I am not extremely happy, but not disappointed as well. Though Wolverhampton is not as big as Bangalore, it has more than 30 Indian restaurants. I have seen people mostly talking in Hindi and Punjabi.  Though I love to search for different type of food from different cultures and countries, being a Vegetarian my options are limited. I am not disheartened or feeling sad. But my adventure of tasting food continues… Without our close partners Sesh , Vasuki and Bhoo…

Love you guys.. :-)
