Hypertext has been a long time in the works – perhaps about a whole bunch of years soaking in that atmosphere redolent of coffee, cigarettes, quick-filling and sumptuous South Indian breakfasts one finds at the typical Bangalore darshini. And yes, the lingering and ever hopeful street dog (in the case of Komala Refreshments – a lovely dark-eyed brown cow who pops in daily for a breakfast dosa) who gets crumbs, pats, biscuits, sometimes kicks from people eating there. There’s friends, familiar strangers, faraway communicators, the slow infusion of the space-age into a slow cup of coffee.
Update: It’s HERE! (Thanks Arjun!!) Revelling in these awesome halftone dots I am.
