The brainchild of a couple who quit their IT jobs for the restaurant business, Dosa Stop is a bright and breezy eatery modeled after American fast-food chains - and in its combination of ultramodern décor and traditional Indian cooking, there is something quintessentially Bangalore. For a taste of modern India, start here...

At present no parting ceremonies are scheduled, but American advancemen have staked out a theater the leaders can use Thursday morning if they reach any understanding they want to formalize with a flourish...
Once the domain of hippie holdouts, organic home décor has gone mainstream.
