The florists try to woo them with an impres sive
variety of flowers. They may not be able to spell
'chrysanthemums' but they sure know how to pronounce
it. Chowli-Mooli - Palak-Shalak... How boring!
Broccoli, celery, parsley, are more like it. The
coconut vendors try their luck, wooing them oh
so tenderly. They have figured that locals
are tough nuts to crack. Cybercafes have special
deals worked out for them. If they get into heated
discussions whilst chatting, no sweat! Some of
them are airconditioned to help them keep their
cool. And, yes, there's a German Bakery. This
establishment takes the cake.
The sidewalk cafe owned and run by an Indian
with a lot of assistance from Nepali youngsters,
could pass for any European cafe. The variety
of exotic breads, croissants and rolls available
are very European in taste and flavour.
The Ashramites spend hours here reading newspapers,
sipping hot cappucino, digging into cheesecakes
and quiches or simply chilling out with the plethora
of juices available!
At least some folks are having fun!
