Good food at regular prices at BIAL…thanks for sharing the find, Amit Choudhary!

Amit Kumar Chaudhary, who is also a member of the cycling mailing list that I belong to, had recently cycled to BIAL, where he made a discovery that would benefit all of us.

Here’s what he said in an email to the rest of us:

"For those who wish to have garma-garma Idli and Tea/Coffee at  regular prices at BIAL, there’s a Shanti-Sagar type resturant called Parking-Cafe. It is located behind "Pay & Use Toilet" but the Cafe is clean and hygenic.

I had little bad experience today and that led me to this discovery."

What was the experience, and what was the discovery? More at his blog.

Since I am also an ardent follower of not drinking bottled water, and eating fresh Darshini food rather than expensive (and possibly recycled) food, I commend Amit on this discovery!

Thank you, Amit, for the permission to give a link to your post. Many airport-goers are going to bless you!

    I’ve always felt that the drivers of buses and cars who also come often to the airport cannot afford to pay fancy prices (the old airport also had a low-cost cafeteria)….and wondered where they would go. Thanks for finding out, Amit.

    S.Sathyan sent this added info:

    “Try the airport employees canteen near the customs desk (near
    DHL and Blue Dart offices)? Its got a darshini ambience with several
    ‘stand & eat’ tables and offer at prices known to us a few years ago.
    The stalls near the terminal update their prices with the finance
    ministry’s weekly inflation rates which has oft been in excess of 10%
    p.a. these last two years.”

    Thanks, Sathya.

    “108” sent this additional info:

    “In case of drinking water in BIAL,there is a water station a few
    meters from the restroom.”

    Why do all the healthy, inexpensive options seem to be near the restrooms?

    Yes, I had a fight with them over dry, re-heated idlis. 🙁

Nature Feature: A dinner invitation

"Will you walk into my parlour?" Said the spider to the fly. "I've spread a carpet of silk and diamonds! Walk in, and don't be shy! Do come along, for I grow thinner... I've LOVE to have you, ahem, for dinner!" Jokes apart, Funnel Web Spiders also called Wolf Spiders, are named because of the funnel-like web they weave...and the second name is given because they are ferocious predators. They build a flat sheet of nonsticky web with a funnel-shaped retreat to one side or occasionally in the middle, depending on the situation and species. The typical hunting mode is…

Theatre Review: “Credit Titles” by Bangalore Little Theatre

It was like a rare alignment of the planets: several factors come together to pull me out of my usual Ranga Shankara ambit for watching a play. I had not been to visit Bangalore International Centre, which opened a while ago in Domlur; Bangalore Little Theatre, as part of their "VP 80" festival, was staging "Credit Titles"; the play, written by Vijay Padaki, whose 80th birthday the festival marks, was based on a story by Vinod Vyasulu, an eminent economist whom I've known for a long time, as our daughters share a cose friendship dating from 1988. And last but…
