Different Cuisines

Never ever tried anything radically different from south indian and odisha (eastern) food when gone out with friends, family and/or relatives. My wife being a great foodie of Chinese, I am still evade the option to visit a Chinese restaurant. Why Food is so important in life. At times, People live for Food, rather food to live. If statistics taken, 1.3 trillion GDP country of India, still 60% of population from villages and 30 odd percent in below BPL. A meal (forget about nutrious) is difficult to get for certain section of community. Is it that they need to blame their fate, why they have taken birth in poor families, depreived our basic education, struggling to get basic amentities of life. Food, Shelter & basic sanitation is civic right to use. But, here it's difficult to avail all these.
When I am in Mumbai without my family and struggling to have my like of meal, I find no different from the people who struggle to get a meal. Well, I am fortunate with grace of god that, I am trying different cuisines, Be at Veg Restaurant SAMRAT at Church Gate towards Nariman Point. Or, Highway Gomantak near Bandra-Kurla complex. Foodies love these places; former one for traditional Gujju vegetarian food, and the latter one for Goan Non-Vegetarian food. And a walk in Linking road to do road-side shopping. Being privledged to access all these, why I stil think about certain stuff that really puts me down. Am I missing my family, food, my Son's pranks, or adjusting to live a individual life of frequent traveller. Will my new life take a toll on my health or it's something thats everybody wants.
The more I stay to away from my base work location, the more issues popping up to address. Why life to be so difficult always, Why can't it be tastier as it progresses like Mutton curry ate the very next day tastes good a day before ;=) Someone said, you want to enjoy your weekend, Mumbai being the place. You can't stay Indoors. But still, I spent weekends staying indoor and doing nothing.
Of-course, Multiplex's gives some respite to watch Predators, Expendables or Pepli Live. But, options are limited to kill time. Getting out from Guest House, and relying on Rickshaw/Taxi and/or local; life sucks.. I miss my Own Car, Bike and the family that I take them around.
I never find so many cool places to visit while my stay in Bangalore, Always looking out for a drive to find peace. But, it's different here. You have places to visit, spend time, and eat out. Different tastes to different set of people and likes.. A true cuisines to your taste and preferences.
