Jo...Guru, thanks for shedding light on the mystery. Jokes apart, I had always wondered why these places have such corny timings. There's one extremely famous one in Mandi Mohalla called Hanmanthu, which you might have heard of, though the only vegetarian thing they have there is the plantain leaf on which they serve the pulao. This place too used to have the 5am to 7am shift till recently. Its open through the day now.Narendra shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435746867801885684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460565103147391578.post-56434978421394920622007-04-23T00:18:00.000+05:302007-04-23T00:18:00.000+05:30Another example of eatery huts with opening hours ...Another example of eatery huts with opening hours from 5;00-7:00. When Mr Mallya the then MP (1950s) from Surathkal got a regional engineering college for his constituency, the college was then virtually located in wilderness in Surathkal. Because of the college remoteness and the absence of transport facilities etc.., was difficult get the cooks and help hands working to prepare the breakfast. A few staff of the college (with clandestine blessings from their superiors - I knew a number of professors were involved in this as well as senior administrative managers)opened hut eateries near the boundary of the college (then shielded by trees)where students could get their breakfast from 5:00-7:00 at a concession rate. This went on for years and the owners and backers became rich within a few years!! When the problems of the hostels were fixed after a few years, a bunch of professors and senior administrators left the college to do other things I was told!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460565103147391578.post-24558770296420830882007-04-22T23:42:00.000+05:302007-04-22T23:42:00.000+05:30I am a vegetarian and survived as one after years...I am a vegetarian and survived as one after years of working in USA and Europe. As I have not been to India for at least a decade, cannot guess the reason for the unusual working hours of this military hotel. But I had seen or heard a number such eatery huts in early 1960s which used to have such restricted hours.<BR/><BR/>Masses of workers ( particularly the ones who do manual/semi-manual work of sorts) then used to commute from Bannur to Mysore daily, on bicycles mostly, and in some cases by buses which were rarely punctual in either direction. Hence the bicycle was the primary means of transport to them. We had even a few departmental semi-skilled workers from Bannur who commuted by bicycles. I was told that they stopped by a couple of eatery huts daily midway, to have their breakfast (nashta)and these eateries operated from 5:00 to 7. Their usual complaint was that even though they had a few hotels in Bannur, none opened before 7:30. <BR/><BR/>There were similar eatery huts along Mysore Road in the Kengeri to Bangalore strip which catered for workers coming to do morning shifts in the factories located at the Bangalore tip of the Mysore Road (there were<BR/>a number of them then and I am not sure whether they are still there now. Save a few lorries, the Mysore Road at that time used to be quiet during those hours so I was told. Later the RV College of Engineering triggered the development). I was also told that those who operated the huts themselves had office jobs in Bangalore, and hence the opening hours of 5:00 -7:00. I also knew similar eatery huts on the Jalahalli-HMT road operating those hours when HMT and BEL (in their early days) recruited workers mainly for building construction from nearby Jalahalli.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460565103147391578.post-88656774141213072802007-04-22T21:58:00.000+05:302007-04-22T21:58:00.000+05:30Thanks, Lakshmi.
