Kamakshi Canteen, Ponda, Goa
After performing the Lagu Rudra puja, an honor accorded the Kulaviis at the Ramnathi kula devasthan, I sneak away to the canteen beside the front entrance. They make the best missal and ussal paav. As I gorge myself, I notice these two guys on a chai break. Both were caught up in their own thoughts and did not utter a single word to each other. Prolly none were needed. Their mere presence supported each other.
