Now, IPL helps restaurant business

http://preview.tinyurl.com/4ntwow ---- The capital has taken to staying in — and ordering in, as long as the IPL season lasts. Although dining out has gone down drastically, restaurateurs aren’t complaining: because ordering in has gone up. Gulati restaurant, in the bustling Pandara Road, has seen a decrease of 10 per cent in restaurant attendance ever since the matches began but an increase of 30 per cent in their packed orders. "During the weekend, when the 3 and 9 pm matches are on, our phones ring almost nonstop!" says Digen, the manager. ---- I hope Bush doesn't see this, otherwise he will blame IPL for food crisis. Mohan
