Khana Khazana and THE LASS

oh boy o boy...the food at Khana Khazana rocks......it is jst amazing.....I loved it.

Lemme start from the Start..My houseowner(LANDIE) gave a treat for his daughter's birthday and of all the places he chooses KK.....I m particularly not a fan of KK, first due to the fact that its always crowded, second the food is not as spicy as to my taste (which I lately discovered was due to the fact that the cuisine is Muglai there, which bases itself on cream, cashewnuts etc.) and thirdly the food is rather pricy and I dont like to pay much for food which I cant thoroughly relish...

Anyways it wasnt my treat and so tagged along and off we go to KK...and boy I was in for a surprise!!...the Landie has some magic mantra in his charm, he got a huge table for the 10 of us in a fully packed restau...then when the food starts arriving, its amazingly different from what I have had here previously....the chicken is spicy, atleast by Ugandan standards, its spicy..the paneer is good as well and the starters are also amazing... So the end point is I would be giving it a try again (i.e. when my pocket allows me!!)..

By the way, the reason I thought of jotting down this post is not only appreciating the food, but also giving a thought on how people think and what do they think!!

The table next to mine was seated a dusky Indian beauty....its quite rare to find single Indian gals here... So was jst thinking..what do people think when they r alone!! (me and my wild fantasies)..... then some random sloppy US/UK trained Indian guy wid his muzungu (firang) lass..and thus breaks my antics of trying to flirt up something wid the dusky beauty...

Anyways the point was, how amazing it would be if I got power to listen to people's conversations...lol..even better if I had the power to learn wats on people's mind...well not for malicious purposes, jst for the sake of it (oh then how do u differentiate what is malicious and wat is not!!)...wat say u ppl, wont it be amazing to have something like tat...

Well the end point is that I fall in crush and infactuation and love and life and blah blah everything wid every third gal (mayb its bit more may be 5th wud be better!!)...and so this gal also comes and goes..from the company she had, she could be working for some NGO or UN office or some MNC (oh MNCs dont employ expat Indians unless u r bloody out of the MNC country!!) So the point is that I wont be meeting the lady again, not in this lifetime atleast....lol

chal leave evrything, I think I m still high from last nite's two beer....I hope to quit beer altogether.....AND START WID VODKA TONITE!!

HAHA

HAPPY WEEKEND

Having alcohol is not necessarily a bane!!!!!

Some people just don’t believe me. Is it bad to have a bit of liquor once in a while?

Well, if you ask me its not very bad. Ya true if it becomes a regular habit it can become a bane. But then who is planning to make it an habit. This midweek post is to clarify that position. Liquor is not my weakness, it is a mean of passing the stupid time in the evening that could drive you crazy in loneliness. Its nothing but a mean to keep me away from the other more lucrative (for them) evils like casinos, smoking, gambling and some others which is better not taken up and discussed on this blog.

In other things, the week has progressed pretty bland to be in a sense that business has been slack for this time of the year. The endblame being that Christmas is round the corner and the purchasing power of the people is at an all time low. Well ya it seems to be correct as the logic is absolutely correct.

I haven’t been able to explore much of the town and the countryside, which means that the ‘picture this’ element of my blog will remain empty and will not have much of an additions for the time being. But I sincerely hope to be coming up soon with some pics of the environs here. There have been few which have captured my imagination and have time and again been tried to be captured by the lens of my cam.

Nevertheless, that sums up most of the last two days and tiredness and fight with life. In other things I have been going through many a blogs of Ugandans and East Africans as a whole and I have found many to be very interesting as well as humorous indeed. I m planning on a separate entry on that ones on their qualities and the fun part in them in the later part of the week.

Amidst all this happening, I failed to mention an apparent milestone. My blog turned a year old on the same day I turned a year older approximately a week earlier. I started this blog exactly the same day as my birthday. And at this point of time I would be proud that my blogging experience has survived for a year with a 390 footfalls and 51 posts. Isnt that just great and marvelous? welll it is for me!!!!!!!

Cheers

Tequila and more

That is an unusual title for a blogrite describing a kid's birthday. This entry is late by 2 days, I normally pen my things on a saturday, but then today its a monday. Wasnt thinking of writing much, but then this bday party on saturday made me write it. 

The party was good, the kid was as usual naughty, it was a boy's day (and sorry I cant upload the pics, I dont have the redistribution rights for that one :(....). The food was good and everything else that goes on with a party was ok. Made some new friends, met some new people and importantly some people from my own Ahmedabad (least expected to find some one frm that part at a telugu friend's party).

It all officially started with whiskey, I had a round and then the host challenged on for a shot of Tequilla. Wow what a drink, I think the beauty of it lies in the fact that you dont have to dillute it and just have it as it is. You dont have to measure it(you have special glasses for it, isnt that amazing). You just drink it and lick the salt and lemon on you palms. Fun na, have you ever seen such a convenient drink on Mother Earth (If you are interested in knowing more about Tequilla: do check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tequilla). So one shot of whiskey and 3 shots of tequilla is a good combo and i was not satisfied, but sadly the tequilla got famished, there were more people like me getting high on tequilla (how i wish that I had started out on tequilla and not on whiskey)

So the end word is that I have tasted almost all the alcoholic drinks in this world (Except for cocktails, I have start working on that ones, like Martinis to become my own version of Bond and those beautiful Bloody Marys). That is an achievement to be aplauded. Applaud people applaud me.

In other things I have got a really wierd hairdo ( I will surely upload some self shot pics of Yours Truly in the next post), I have got it all cleaned up, leaving only a centimeter thin scalp (ya was a bit inspired by Gajini and Aamir). And also by the fact that there were certain people who didnt like short hair and there were my folks who liked to see me in my neatly cropped hairdo. Oh it all takes back to the good old school days, where I used to have nicely cropped hair. Its all gone, the schooldays, the fun sobbbb.

Anyways, Wish you all a happy week ahead and a very happy boozing period to me (trying to get a bottle of tequilla, but its not easily available, tried out Uchumi, Payless etc. hope to get it in Shoprite atleast)..

genuinely cheers

santo

Happy tequillaing
