Meals from Rice Bowl were indeed good. And the manager who happenned to be a Tibetan had a tone not alarming as Big C 's Capital Beijing. So was the offering from Kalsang restaurant. The guide from New Bharat Hotel suggested Khana Khazana as another place where meals could be tried. Curd from Jagat Dairy proved handy. And the man running the laundry store nearby proved helpful as well.
As for Landour Cantt, the four shops have taken the shape of five as the all pervasive post office has been replaced by another shop. St Paul's Church and areas roundabout Landour Cantt should not be missed.
Sighted Ruskin, the writer, the other day in a car. Looked cheerful and radiating confidence. You need more such persons to lend a semblance of normalcy to the area. Except for local residents, no other vehicles should be allowed to go towards Landour Cantt because this is one of fewer frontiers that has not been  invaded excessively by market forces.
