arthus quiller couch doesn't even read what you write in bold. will these buggers read? of course they will. or they won't. content should be contemptuous of the reader. especially since its unpaid.

ah you're the guy behind the "why south indians don't get any" e-mail...that was a masterpiece...the MM sounds interesting....although i am only an ex-Mumbaikar ...(i am currently a....er.....Gurgaonkar) ...i'm also an ex-bangalorekar, Cochinkar and Kottayamkar....would love to fill in any space that hasn't been filled by competent people.
No Sidin... Dont lean Mumbaiwards .. You will b losing using international Trans-siberain Trans-Tasman appeal...

I came across your blog on onam and noted your hearfelt desire for good onam sadya and good mallu food in general in b'bay. NO! am not inviting you to my home - but can point u're nose (and stomach in the direction of a GOOD place)
Next to Mazda photo studio, off DN road, In fort, just past VT on the way to fountain - is FOUNTAIN PLAZA (an unlikely named place but who cares about names when the food is worth dying for). This is a mallu muslim joint where the mutton biriyani is to kill for. Onam they do not serve non-veg, but have a 24 item meal , served over 5 courses, on vazha ela, which you have to book for in advance. Used to be Rs.60 for the spread (worth about 10 times that).
Get there between 12-12.30 so u dont have to wait, smell the food and go faint with desire while others hog. Problem is, there are 4 ela's to a table (which can acommodate only 2 with comfort) so u run the risk of eating your neighbours rasam. So do take along 3 frieds whose rasam eating habits you are comfy with :). Do not forget to fini the meal with thei 'moar'.

not related to the MM, but if you are looking for good mallu food in Bombay there's a place better than Fountain Plaza. It's called 'Deluxe'...turn into PM (Pherozeshah Mehta) road from DN (Dadabhai Naoroji) Road at citibank (on foot, because it's a one way) and turn right into 'Pitha Street'....walk down and you will see 'Deluxe Family Restaurant'...they even have a nice a/c section upstairs.
Excellent fish fry, fish curry, all types of chicken, along with lovely Puttu, appam, etc,. Everyday they have a lunch thali, served on the banana-leaf, and the food is excellent. Every evening between 4 pm and 6 pm they have 'snakes'...including ethakka appam, beef ada, and a whole host of scrumptious stuff.
The only drawback here is that the beef fry is not that great...i mean.. it's decent...but not as good as their other stuff. Even non-mallus I know swear by Deluxe food...plus it's cheap!
Their phone number is 022 22042351...they deliver in fort/colaba/nariman point. Hope it gives you, and any other Mumbai mallus reading this, the same pleasure it gave me when I was there.

Hi there,
Me am a Mumbai lover.. but currently don't live there..I see that you have all the good intentions.. but what's your mag going to give, that others don't.. we're already bombarded with too much info.. I'd say, be selective on the dope which you want to give.. think hard, think of your target audience.. good luck..

Do you want a comic page? 1. For original comics, you can talk to www.thegraduatecomics.com - Maybe you can syndicate (for free) his work. TCP publishes his work from time to time. 2. For a original flesh and blood comic artist, talk to indiancomics.blogspot.com 3. For non-original comics, maybe The Comic Project can be of help?
