IN THE SEARCH for meaningful answers to some of today’s most pressing questions, the search for food was an equally big concern for those who attended the recent annual gathering of global leaders and business executives at the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos, Switzerland.
Seems surprising? Trust me, it isn’t. The WEF is for those who can afford the fees, the overpriced and underserviced hotels, the slippery sidewalks, the freezing cold and the lack of food. Yes, the latter is a challenge—despite the largesse of the India Lounge, which like last year and before, resembled a typical bustling market, especially at mealtimes. The joke, as one of the organisers said, was that the lounge was actually the Davos langar that fed anyone who wandered in over five days of the event. While I mostly missed the lunch at the lounge, my evenings were saved by a food truck selling Tibetan momos, and another that dished out a filling Halloumi wrap. The icing on the cake—both had vegetarian options!
