Last but not the least, DeeTee: it is the most happening place in Manipal. Drinks, food and music rule this place and truly define Manipal.
Manipal is indeed a food hub which caters to the need of all students. The common orthodox perception that people in the Southern part of India have to survive on ‘Idli and rasam’ was busted. I m not a glutton but an avid foodie and an explorer, for I firmly believe that “The belly rules the mind.” Food is our common ground for universal experience and sometimes the discovery of a new dish can do more for human happiness than even that of a star.
Ecclesiastes 8:15 : “…a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry…”
Bon Appetite.!
