Indeed, don't you feel proud of the immense economic progress achieved in India, we've rendered the udipi bhavan food unpalatable, unhygienic and low class. Gone are the days when there was enough peace and quiet and clean air freely available to all to enjoy over a reasonably priced cup of coffee. Today the "clean" water comes out of plastic bottles leeching chemicals, the clean air from polluting dirty air conditioners and the peace and quiet by pricing out the under classes.
