“We roast to perfection” reads a promotional brochure at Costa Coffee in Connaught Place, New Delhi. It is barely April but outside the sun insists on repeating the barista’s feat on unsuspecting visitors from cooler parts of the country. I miss Bangalore (hence this picture taken at Lal Bagh during the flower show on Republic Day) and wonder if I will acquire a coffee-bean tan by the time I return next week.
