  2. The Mumbaikar.

    Full of energy,
    occasionally spicy,
    sometimes so hot
    as to make tears,
    wrapped up
    always
    in "besan-nic" dust,
    and fried
    in a permanent
    hot and wet summer,
    he is
    like the vada,
    enticing,
    golden,
    rich,oily,
    almost like a politician.

    But the humble paav,
    the Bread of Life,
    baked
    in tough times,
    but still
    soft at heart,
    wraps itself around it,
    saying,
    regardless of
    where we came from,
    we must mix
    in peace,
    bring out the best
    in each other,
    be there for everyone,
    rich and poor,
    young and old.

    Sometimes
    we need to be tough
    and dangerously red,
    sometimes,
    benevolently green
    on the paav.

    But this variety
    in Mumbai
    makes for
    such
    an excellent combination
    that it would win
    hands down
    if it stood for
    a civic election...

  24. Okay. It's popular. Why? What's in it? Chicken? Pork? Is this one snack or several snacks. Looks rather like an entire meal.

    Must be good to be so popular!

  27. Isn't this the famous Vada Pav of Mumbai? The fastest selling fast food of this wonderful city ! Beats burgers & pizzas hands down and at a fractional cost.
