Yum


The Yum treat cafe in Bandra. Incidentally Yum in Indian languages means the God of death. This obviously is a faux pas on the part of the owners while naming their cafe!

    ... Forgive, but might beg to differ... YAma (hard A) is Death... Yam (pron. yum) is the mantra for the heart chakra...which would suit the cafe, though I suspect they are really just anglicising... YAM xx (Yamini, named for YAmi, the sister of YAma and the transporter of the released atmas...)

    1. I agree but colloquially the pronunciations vary. Thank you for the detailed explanation though.

  3. La cafetería está cerrada. Yo creo que aunque estuviera abierta, con ese nombre, nadie entraría a tomar café.

    1. Closed as it is still early morning. People would come for a good coffee irrespective of the name!
