The elusive holiday was here. Sunday – a full day to myself to rest, chill and basically do my thing. This was a good day to indulge in some good food for lunch. I did not have to think too much about which restaurant I wanted to patronize today. Hotel Gomantak Yashwantashram, Grant Road, was my destination. However, by the time I got myself to leave home it was 2:30 in the afternoon. The local trains were unusually crowded and I had to let a couple of them go by before I got on to one that gave me a foothold!
With my stomach rumbling, I stepped out onto Grant Road station. The anticipation of the meal ahead was almost getting the better of me. Hotel Yashwantashram is a small unassuming restaurant, which serves up some mouthwatering non-vegetarian Gomantak dishes. Their sea-food course is out of this world!
My pace towards the exit gate quickened. There in front of me was the yellow board advertising the cuisine available in-store. But what I saw next left me in shock. There was momentary numbness. The shutters were down. Yashwantashram was closed.
Noooooooooooooooooo !!!
It took me almost five minutes to recover. I stood there rooted to the asphalt, numb, trying to make sense of it all. The buildings around me seemed to close in. There it was, a blackboard with the restaurant timings scribbled on it.
Morning: 11:30 to 3:30. Evening: 7:30 to 11:30.
The time was 3:40 pm.

Hotel Gomantak Yashwantashram will definitely be reviewed in the coming weeks !
