After such a bold statement, would not the next exclamation be something like "not quite!". I returned to Chef Inam's steak house near Golkonda hotel for dinner tonight and had 3-course meal served elegantly. I started with a mais-salade which was lovely. Then the lamb chops with potatoes, beans, carrots, and garlic bread arrived and they were very spicy, just like I ordered them. The 3rd course was two bottles of Fanta. A whopping Rs. 530 with a tip and the owner was there tonight. The two guys that served me were more like boys. Check out the pix that I will upload after this post.
Work was work today and I was in by 8:45. I went with Chandra to Ohri's for lunch about 2pm, then back to the office. I got a lot further at Ohri's today than last time when I went alone. That time they treated me like an alien and let me stand there looking stupid while they gladly served others. The internet was out for quite some time today and I could not figure out how to set up my Mac with the redundant internet we have here. Vasu dropped in to catch up with the gang. I had met him when I first started at Pythian last February. He has been living in Calgary, southwest quadrant for some time while his wife worked on SAP somewhere in the city. I remembered his smiling face the second I saw him.
I left work before 5pm, with plans to do two calls from Katriya. After that, I headed out to the main event for dinner. As I left the steak house, I walked up to two rickshaw drivers; one looked at me and exclaimed "Katriya". Wow. I thought I had arrived a while back when I was giving them directions. Now I am such a fixture I am recognized :).
