After spending some time together, we headed to the Irani Cafe at Kalyani Nagar to taste their specialties.
We ordered their famous Iranian tea and bun maska (bun butter). During that time, we discussed some questions from our new local guides, such as how to add captions to Google Maps and how to follow any local guide on Connect. We attempted to answer the majority of their questions on the spot and then personally communicated the solution. We also had a quick video call with our dear LG friend Kasif Bhai from Pakistan.
