What's for breakfast?

Other than "Where's my bed?" the next most important question for a traveler is "What's to eat?" And the answer to that question is a good one in India!

IBM has reserved me a room at the ITC Hotel Kakatiya Sheraton & Towers, formerly the Grand Kakatiya Hotel. This is a picture of a "small" floral bouquet that greets you in the lobby:














The hotel is quite nice, with very friendly and helpful staff. These are my new friends at the hotel front desk, who help to arrange transportation, teach me new words, and much much more! There names are Vishal, Nishanth, Paul, Abhishek, Huma and Rosalin:














I'll tell you about dinner later, but here is as selection of what's available at the breakfast buffet:
- bacon and sausage
- veggie quiche and baked beans
- brioche, organic muffins, bread, donuts, and croissants, both plain and chocolate (a favorite from my days in France!)
- sliced pineapple, papaya, and quiche
- cheese: Swiss Emmenthaler, French Camembert, and Dutch Gouda
- chicken sausage
- cold fish
- chicken breast au jus
- strawberry dani and pineapple dani (yogurt)
- scrambled eggs and poached eggs
- juice: pineapple, watermelon, sweet lime, mango, tomato, and grape
- waffles

And actually there is a whole lot more; that is only about half of what is on the buffet, but I don't know how to describe the other choices. They have an Indian name, but I don't know what they are. Maybe I'll send some pictures if the chef will let me?

Oops, time to go to work. We have 35 eager students waiting to learn about their new computer systems. Goodbye for now!
