| | | Paul, Mithai is the Indian word for sweets... remember, Diwali is coming up and every Indian tends to get a mithai craving. (Even non-hindus.....) | |

| | | try the 2nd floor of Mirador Mansion- which is next to Holiday Inn.
Paul perhaps you should head on down there yourself with picture in hand to further you mithai education- goes down well with a glass of Cobra. | |
