Hi Amit, I don't know if you remember me, we've worked together a bit
on the Google India Real Estate project. I was at Google Bangalore
from Jan 2007 until Feb 2008 as an engineering manager. We should swap
stories some time...

Yay foodies. I greatly benefitted from Madhu and Gautam's food advice
while I was in B'lore.

Don't get me started on the dearth of good authentic Mexican food
outside of Mexico. Burritos and carnitas are not Mexican food, dammit,
but I would have killed for even that in Bangalore. Just before
leaving I was talking to Gautam about the possibility of getting corn
ground with lime (masa) to make my own tortillas and tamales. Most of
the other spices and ingredients are available so it should be
possible.
