anda pav

If you need to see evidence of entrepreneurship talent in India, look no further than the humble anda pav (omelet wrapped inside a bun) dished out by enterprising men with fast hands. The stretch from CST to Gateway of India is dotted with stalls with modest setups including no more than a kerosene stove, a few utensils and of course dozens of shiny eggs and buns wrapped in plastic. Almost in a single motion they crack eggs open, mix ingredients, fry the concoction and before you can say 'McDonalds' you're staring at a piping hot honey & yellow wrap, to be gulped down in a couple of munches. These are a valuable source of food on the move for millions of commoners who otherwise would have been left with a bad taste in the mouth with prices established eateries charge, not to mention the money it brings to these men with initiative who are left to fry their own eggs.
