    Hmmm, do you think that perhaps the food was the first export and Bollywood came afterwards. I am not certain since by past lives are a little hazy (kidding) but it seems a that Indian food had a first wave that hit the shores of some Asian countries. Certainly, there is a second wave now in Western countries…

    You are absolutely right. I was thinking of the second waves that hit Western countries; more of hole-in-a-wall, Indian fast food kinda thing.

    Ann, I am sure I had that snack before without knowing the name. One of the best things about traveling is eating the local food, isn’t it?

    Chaun, there’s a sudden surge of Indian eateries in San Francisco in the last few years. I think, although I may be wrong, that after the dot.com bubble bust, a lot of Indian technologists went into the food business.

    getting to India is probably great for photography… I hear that just about every visitor gets sick.

    Guess who went to eat Indian food for lunch today?? :-)

    And, yes, I think you have to be a bit more careful in India…I would expect if I go to get sick for a bit…
