The Real Life MBA - Britannia Cafe - Nostalgia On A Plate

In the early 1900s, commerce in the city of Mumbai was dominated by Gujarati and Parsi traders. The shops which were located on the corners of lanes weren't preferred by the Gujarati traders as they were 'Sinh-mukhi' or shaped like a lion's face, which was considered inauspicious in Hinduism. They preferred the non-corner shops as they were 'Gau-mukhi' or shaped like a cow's face - a very auspicious shape for Hindus. The corner shops were thus available for much cheaper rates and Parsis all over the city took up these shops and several of them were turned into Irani restaurants, a few of which have survived the advent of modernity.

IIM Indore Campus Walk With Revant Sindhu

It’s an almost warm, rainy day in July. The newly selected PGP Batch has just about arrived on campus. The experience begins even before one can actually reach the campus gate. As you move from Indore city, towards Rau on the outskirts, the transition is seamless. Soon, you’re on the straight road that runs from Rau to Pithampur. Ahead in the distance, out on the left, you see a white dome perched atop a small hill; there are a couple of minaret-shaped structures at the base of the hill and an almost circular, reddish-orange building close to the white dome.
