The British High Commissioner, Alex Ellis, appears to be a man on a mission. His aim: to try as many Indian flavours as he possibly could during his deputation to India.

After the masala dosa, it’s the humble vada pav that joins his foodie list. Ellis tweeted a photo of himself eating the vada pav in front of the iconic Gateway of India in true Maharashtrian fashion, with the words “lai bhari” (Absolutely fantastic).

The post has got more than 19,000 likes. Here’s to the foodie in you, Mr Ellis.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
