This is an old stale tale of globalization. There are better local examples than the diana one.

Diana ice-cream BTW is from Udupi, not Mangaluru. Different district saar.

I agree with Kitapati. Shashi Tharoor seems to have taken Indian audience for granted. Somehow, there is a lot of difference in the Shashi we know from the articles in Hindu and the Shashi we know in the public life.

Shashi Tharoor was better off in Newyork, why did he come to Indian?

Gokulam:
Great to have someone who knows his Mangalore!
Diana Icecream of Udupi is no where compared to Ideals of Mangalore, which is easily the best Icecream house I have come across (with Corner house of Bangalore being a close second).
The guys who wrote this for Churumuri didn’t know that Diana and Mangalore University are seperated by 70km!! ;-)

There is one more good ice cream joint in Mangalore – Pabbas ice cream.

Pagan:
Pabbas is Ideals. Just a seperation of entity perhaps for business reasons. I was told it is named after the son of the Founder by name Prabhakar.
Menu and Icecreams are the same.
