Dinner at goVeg

Those of you who have been following me on Facebook know that I was alone yesterday. The friend with whom I share the apartment has gone home and the friend who lives upstairs is also out with his relatives. So, there I was all with myself.

Since the above prospect was not very bright so got up late in the morning. Although I have a marathon coming up, am not very regular at running. The reasons are many, but we can discuss them later.

Coming back to yesterday I spent the whole day inside the house, yes that was a first for me. Not to have ventured out all day when I was not sick. Most of the day was spent watching TV, having little food and chatting. Man U vs Man C was fantastic. The moment it was over my tummy complained. It needed food. If not for the tummy, I would have watched more TV and dozed off on the bean bags. Good sense prevailed and I finally went out for dinner. Decided to go to goVeg the new eatery.

The place was almost full. Did find a place for myself though. Ordered a full combo, the biggest combo available. I was really hungry. Had I been carrying the Blackberry, I would not have noticed what I noticed next. Just a row ahead of my table, on the column to my left were these two girls. They were having some kachoris. Am bad at guessing ages of girls, so no comment on that. These two well heeled. Did not look starved but were sure of the generation Y. While I waited for my dinner they got a big plate of kebabs. They seemed to be excited. I was worried. I had never seen GenY girls ordering so much food. Any way while I waited, they finished kachoris and started with kebabs. The waiters were eager to help the ladies, we in India respect the feminine. Anyway I had no choice but to wait. And finally my plate came, big and nice. I lost no time in devouring it. I had just started eating and the girls had not finished the kebabs even half, when they received another round of food. This time it was the same jumbo combo. I thought it was some mistake. But no, they sure had ordered for it. Now I was amused. Would they really eat that? Slowed down my eating to know what they were going to do. The girls could somehow finish the kebabs, big achievement, and then asked the jumbo combo to be packed. Yes they got the whole thing packed. Perhaps it was a simple case of wrong estimation of food and appetite. Meanwhile, I finished my dinner and drove back home.

Resolution: Will not carry my phone when I go out to dine next.
