Stock out

Wednesday definitely wasn't the best day for coffee addicts in Gurgaon, particularly those roaming the lanes of the plush Galleria market. You couldn't get a steaming hot cup of cappuccino, no matter how hard you tried. The reason, as a vendor explained: "The stock of fresh milk hasn't reached us yet. A minister is visiting the Apparel House (that houses the Institute of Apparel Management, promoted by the Apparel Export Promotion Council) and this has caused a huge traffic jam in the area. Our suppliers are stuck." Moral of the story: next time, carry your own carton of milk.
