AURANGABAD
ANGEETHI- My 1st
brush with fine dining experience happened here. Under faint lights
& symphony of instrumental music - soups were served in heavy cutlery. Somewhere between
a relishing Paneer Maakhanwala to steaming Jeera Rice, some lessons on table manners
also got served.
BOMBAY
AMITABHS &
AMBANIS - You are familiar with their names. You read them on tabloids; see them on televisions. But ask a Mumbaikar, and we will tell you the name of
their bungalows & even show you where it stands. Jalsa, Antilia, Mannat,
Basera...... celebrity residence list is a part of our vocabulary.
CHENNAI
ANNA SALAI - A Street name in Chennai. It was 09 JULY 2012 . Me & my then fiancé-now husband, were walking along
this road, when I tried to spell out its name - Anna Salai. Yes that's how I
read it, and he immediately corrected me saying, it is to be pronounced -Anna
Saaalai. "Saalai"
in tamil is what "Sarani" is in Bengali or "Street" in
English.
Excellent beginning. I don't know about Aurangabad and Bombay. Will be learning few things from your posts. Long time residents still call Anna Salai as Mount Road. You are correct. It should have been Saalai instead of Salai.
ReplyDeleteIt will be good to learn more about a part of the world I am not familiar with, through the eyes of a local. Thank you for visiting me from the A to Z Challenge. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
