Look at the beautiful vintage photos of Veeraswamy, and a glimpse of its menus from 1940s and '50s. I hope it is saved. Maybe I should write to the King and send him a copy of my book, which places the significance of Veeraswamy in a broader context.

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les PƩtroleuses (1971).
