Change is the only constant thing in life.
Very well said but there are people like me who wants lot of things to remain the way they have been. Old world charm is something, I am really drawn towards. For me the stillness, tranquility and tidiness of old times are very alluring. I feel the same charm and old world aura whenever I visit Vidyarthi Bhavan.
Vidyarthi Bhavan is a vegetarian south Indian eatery founded in 1943, right in the middle of hustle bustle of Gandhi bazaar in Bangalore.
The entrance itself hints about its heritage. The place is a moderate hall, lined up with basic tables and benches. There is this profound rule that if there is an empty seat, it will be used. You get this experience of eating with a complete stranger on the same table and sometimes running into someone interesting. So it’s like a cozy community canteen. The hall is lashed with photographs and sketches of eminent visitors of this café who happens to be top politicians, writer, artists and actors. It gives me goose bumps by thinking that these people has been here and have eaten the way we are going to eat.
The food is quite essentially banglorian snacks – dosa, ideli, Poodi sagu, Vada etc and finish it off with delicious filter coffee. Dosas are super crispy and ideli’s are so soft. Everything on the menu is mouth-watering tasty and very economically priced.
This place is able to take you to that old earthy wonderful world. That’s the reason I wish that Vidyarthi Bhavan is one of the few things which should be spared from Change.
Visit this place and you would know what I mean.
