The non-combat GIs of course lived like royalty (as you'd find out from the pages of their community newspaper, CBI Record — www.cbi-theater.com). Kwality, the restaurant, meanwhile became famous for its butter-soft Pindi chana and bhature, whose recipe came from another Pishori Lal, Lamba's favourite halwai at his summer home, Mussoorie. The Kwality chana-bhatura's fans are said to include Nargis, Maneka Gandhi and, more recently, Rahul Gandhi. It didn't take Lamba long to realise he should just melt away and let his managers assuage the ruffled tycoon. Kwality, nonetheless, continues to be a reminder of the man who turned it into an everlasting part of CP's history.
