Coke and related products (Fanta -- a great mix for Feni) were easily available in the early 70s; it was after that time that they were kicked out of the country -- I believe because they would not release their secret formula. But yes, as you've all noticed, Coke is now very welcome in India -- and I was really happy to get an occasional Diet Coke there on my last visit.

I prefer Diet Pepsi, but will take the coke when I need a break from nimbu pani!

Can someone give me a few examples of what food and drinks cost in BLR ? I seriously hate cooking

Ive heard that I shouldnt buy food out on the streets since Im not used to Indian food and therefore might get really sick

How true is that?
I like street food more than restaurants

Hi SweSammy,

If your trip to India materialises then do let me know as I too am planning to set up a small office in Bangalore and I am in search of ideas.

I am 29 from London, I am of Indian origin. My email is ssandhu321@aol.com

pls drop me a line and I will tell you a little bit more about me and my purpose to experience India.

Thanks,
Sumit

Now then, people.

You all know that our very own Paris Hilton said our Indian elephants get very, very drunk, don't you?

Presumably they were hitting the (yuk)Coke here. You know, the ones made with the secret ingredient - arrack or palm toddy.

Now Then, People. Now Then.

TheFoolOnTheHill · Apr 25th, 2008, 10:35

Before the inevitable reactions to the intelligent Ms. Paris kick in: let me say that she never, ever mentioned elephants getting drunk or otherwise. I hereby swear that I saw her saying the aforementioned fact on the Ellen show.

Ok people.

I seem to remember that, by demand of the membership, it was enacted that mention a certain PH on the site would incurr an immediate ban.

We'l let you off --- this time!
