Random Walk of Life

We had been to Parika yesterday night for dinner. It is a restaurant on the CMH road, which serves mangalore cuisine. If you love neeru-dosas, sannas, kori-rotti, tangy and coconutty fish curries, this is a place you should visit. The food is excellent. We had Kori-Rotti, Bangde-Masala (Mackerel curry) and Neeru Dose. Both the fish and the chicken curries were beyond par excellence. Only my grandma’s curries could top these. And the place is not very expensive either.

However, the biggest let down was the service. It was a bit slow, I found the waiters a bit too grumpy. Probably they had a long saturDay. Oh yeah, the price for the fish curry mentioned in the Menu Card differed from the price on the bill. The explanation given was that the price depends on the size of fish, which we thought was outrageous since it wasn’t mentioned in the menu card.

From our prior experience, we suggest Sunday afternoons to be the best time to visit the place. They have additional mangalorean delicacies on Sunday afternoons. And ask about the prices before you order. Else you might be in for a surprise

PS: After dinner, we went to Corner House for a trial DBC test. K and I ordered DBCs for ourselves with chocolate scoops instead of vanilla scoops. While I finished mine, K struggled to finish his/her first one, cursing the cake! However, he/she still claims to have confidence in his/her digestive system and wants to go ahead with the bet. So keep watching this space for updates

Like I mentioned in my previous post I was out for the whole of last week and am catching up with the happenings. One of the hilarious things that came to my notice is that one of my friends, lets say K, who usually boasts of his HUGE appetite has claimed that he/she can eat 4 Death By Chocolates in a single stretch.

I love chocolate. If something can keep me awake a whole night after a night out is a bar of dark chocolate. But I have my limits and last time I checked it was 1.5 large cups of Death by Chocolate (DBC), a popular ice-cream offering at this joint named Corner House. So naturally I was very much excited about this claim. So we had a bet:

• If K can have 3 DBC’s at a single stretch, we shall sponsor the 4th one.
• If K can finish the 4th one, we will reimburse all the four and any subsequent DBC that K might want to have (owing to his large appetite) and K wins a cool thousand bucks for his/her feat!

Subject to following conditions:

• K should have a normal diet for the earlier part of the day, i.e no skipping breakfast or lunch.
• K should be in a perfectly healthy state after consuming 4 DBCs for atleast 2 hours. No, puking is not allowed.
• Should K give up in the middle, we’re entitled to two big treats on any days at Corner House of our choice from K.
• Should K withdraw from the bet, we’re entitled to a big treat on any days at Corner House from K.

Just out of curiosity, I created this poll on what people think is their DBC limit. and what they think is any person’s maximum DBC limit.

You can find the poll here -> http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=lo073kc9y2xif4g394813

The Poll responses when I last checked were as follows :

A) None, I hate chocolates.
B) One, but thats it.
C) Two, I am feeling sleepy now.
D) Three, I like chocolate.
E) Four, Burp, i am full!
F) More than Four, I am superhuman

A) Yes
B) No

I will be updating these results as and how my time permits. So this is not real time

Please do take the poll since there are only 2 questions and it hardly takes 15 seconds of your time.

Hey, being a good friend, I think it’s my duty to let K to know what he/she is attempting after all

Closing Song: None
Closing Mood: Waiting for your responses.

PS: K prefers to remain Anonymous. So even if you want to take a guess on his/her identity, please don’t mention him/her in the comments.
