    Yes, we don't see many Irani cafes these days...they used to have that typical ambience, furniture etc etc.

    Wonderful picture, these were the preferred choice of breakfast when I was a kid. I still remember crying and bringing the world down for my share of bun and black coffee :)
    And as promised I have started my photography experiment :)
