Its pretty pathetic when a Mutineer misses something right under his nose. I'm such a fraud.</p> The funny part is that I live next to the Hare Krsna Temple and India Sweets and Spices and I haven’t seen the signs yet.

The call to New Delhi, however, will only last 20 minutes. Not a very effective advertisement if you ask me. But then again, as a South Asian, recognition generally is enough to make me happy - even if does not make practical sense.</p> A Bollywood movie will keep me happily entertained for hours, while a small jar of chutney will regularly spice up my daily meals.

I take it that you’re referring to India Sweets & Spices, which seems to always draw large, mixed crowds of customers. There’s also a Hare Krishna temple nearby, but I think they consider it a sin to use long distance services.</p> That’s a good point.
