No I didn't mistype the title - it wasn't a "stand out" lunch; it really was a stand up lunch. Because of the hartal, our usual haunts (Fry's, Spencer's and so on) are all closed. There is, however, a small (space is the best way to describe it) space next to the International where, after paying for the correct coupons (one for rice and condiments, the other for the omelette), the food is brought to you in a "silver" tray and placed on the counter opposite where you are standing, and away you go, all fingers (only on the right hand of course) flying. A repeat dose of rice and condiments, with a different sauce and that's your lot - finish up and move on (all done in a pleasant unhurried style, with the usual broad Keralan smile).
A quick wash of the hand, in the car with Ajith (who arrived just as Raju and I were heading off to walk to lunch) and back to the School via a quick tour of where our new street signs are to be placed (Ajith has made an arrangement with the police (standard practice, like the local councils in NSW that allow companies to advertise in return for an illuminated street sign) for us to have a series of traffic/street signs in MG Road and Chittoor Road to point people in the right direction, traffic wise and, of course, MBA wise.
