Rude Food by Vir Sanghvi: The Bombay Boys

Last March, I went to the newly opened Bombay Sweet Shop to meet the men behind it. I’d known Sameer Seth from before his first restaurant opened and liked him. He was suave and good-looking and had run restaurants in New York. I liked his partner Yash Bhanage too. There was something passionate and real about his no-bullshit attitude which had appealed to me right from the first time I met him at The Bombay Canteen, the restaurant that launched their group.

    Why hide the papers? Why keep the conspiracy theories related to Netaji Subhas Bose’s death alive? And why deny India the truth about the death of one of its great freedom fighters?
