Food for Thought by a Pakistani to an Indian

via www.csmonitor.com

Arshed’s idea is a not-for-profit enterprise with “food for thought” that offers “coffee, interaction, meals, and tolerance.” Long before our leaders decided to reach out to each other, Arshed’s cafe was serving a refreshing drink of orange and lemon called Bharat-Pak Dosti (“Indo-Pak friendship”). One can also taste “American Democracy” and “Karzai’s Kava” there. I am glad that things are looking better for our two nations. I now can dream of driving to Islamabad from Delhi one day, reaching Arshed’s cafe, and – after ordering a “Musharraf Guesspresso” – ask him if he now also offers a “Singh Surprise.”
