Yesterday my friend took me for butter masala paneer and naan to die for at the Hotel Empire in Bangalore.
Other things I've been up to besides eating good food and hanging out with old and new friends is getting reacquainted with the city - going to Forum mall, rickshawing everywhere, going to ladies night at Loveshack, and of course getting used to these wonderful smells:
One place that we used to be regulars at is Mocha, a quaint cafe that stands between the USAC apartments and Forum mall. Currently, they're in the process of shooting a Karnataka film there (not a 'Bollywood' film, because it's a local production company). There were an unnecessary thirty or fourty people running around inside while my friend and I were peacefully sipping our smoothies and watching the commotion. While we were there, they were just shooting the same scene over and over again, apparently something funny in Kannada because they never failed to laugh at each take. Even a police officer came inside to witness the action, and probably see if he could play as an extra... Something I secretly hoped too :)
I tried to sneak a picture, apparently this guy is a locally almost-famous actor who my friend had seen on the big screen before.
