43 Food for 'Seoul'
This was written some time in June 2012, when I visited Seoul. This is the pre-Gangnam era, and no one knew - or cared, for that matter - about the weird monkey-dancer-singer fellow from South Korea. Neither was the world full of nuclear war-cries from the northern neighbor of the country at that time, so you need to take the write-up uncolored with these recent 'developments' - if that word can be used at all. Anyway, the reason I never got down to publishing this earlier is among the usual suspects - not enough time to complete the post, not having enough breathing space to upload it .. blah blah! ... I was going through my heap of unfinished tales for some other reason recently, and chanced upon this rather abrupt version. The other reason I got reminded was an unplanned occasional lunch arranged at a local Korean joint in Delhi ... So here it is, for what it is worth ...
