Overview

Arre, tell me one thing. Why is it that the moment an Indian traveller steps onto a flight to Frankfurt or Tokyo, the world assumes their stomach is a botanical garden? In the corporate boardrooms of the West, I am the C-suite shark, the finance professional, the strategist. But the moment the ""Networking Cocktail"" begins, I am just a hungry TamBram man desperately dodging bacon-wrapped dates like they're Bengaluru potholes. Welcome to the hilarious, high-stakes world of the Ghaas-Phus Globetrotter. From the ""Egg-Allergy"" gambits in Parisian bistros to the absolute trauma of discovering that ""Dashi"" in Tokyo is actually fish soul in a bowl-this isn't a food guide. It's a survival manual. Inside these pages, you'll discover the sacred ""Jugaad"" of the Indian traveller: The 7-Day Threshold: Why every trip has a ""Day of Reckoning"" when the last homemade murukku vanishes. The US Salad Trap: My battle with raw kale the size of a satellite dish. The Kettle Chronicles: Why cooking Maggi in a five-star hotel kettle is a spiritual necessity (and a minor crime). The ""Vegan"" Identity Crisis: When you tell a waiter in New York you're vegan to be safe, and they take away your Dahi and Ghee. Absolute heartbreak, yaar. Whether you're a corporate executive navigating a ""Meat-ocalypse"" in Brazil or a first-time tourist clutching a packet of podi like a lifeline, this book is for you. It's about more than what's on the plate; it's about staying true to your Mylapore roots while the rest of the world is asking if ""chicken counts as a vegetable."" Pack your theplas, keep your sense of humour on high alert, and join me on a journey through 50 global destinations where the spice is rare, but the stories are well-done. The third book in the bestselling Globetrotter Series. Vanakkam. Grab a samosa and let's get started. The Sambar is waiting.
