Ramblings of a madman

  ....... A few weeks back...... My friend Hari went to one shop and asked for Vada pav. You know what he got. A huge pav with a Masala Vadai in it , that's what you call cross cultural bonding . Vada pav has now become, Ada paavame ! ( distress call) ....... A few days back....... we were watching the gangsters eating vada pav in "Kaminey", which made our stomach growl.
