reminds me of an old hindi doha, which says - dont go where u r not welcome, even if gold rains there!!


nobody needs to dine in such a snobbish place.



until next time....dinner by invitation only :))

How one dresses is their choice and u weren't planning to ask those people for a free meal you were going to pay for it...well agreed that clothes maketh a man but its not necessary that one has to be prim n "propah" to get an entry to a food joint...Snobs and nothing else is what i would call them...btw which place is this and where?

Richa · 4 years ago

phatichar · 4 years ago

That's bad...maybe you guys can take sweet revenge by turning up every other day..accompanied by rain. :)

manuscrypts · 4 years ago

Wierd..I mean obviously, if you came in there you have the money right? Why the hell would any one throw out money?!creeps.

Take all your friends, all wet and drippy and barge in. Then look around, shake your heads and barge out. Do this as often as possible :)

Ironically I had an experience of the opposite kind last Saturday. I went to this fancy looking restaurant, where I was to meet a friend. Got totally drenched on the way. As my friend had not yet arrived, I was planning to wait outside. But the people at the restaurant asked me if I wanted to wait inside. :-). But to add to what you were saying, many of the newly opened places have signs like 'Right to Admission Reserved' which feels very pre-1947 like. Its quite unfortunate. btw, the restaurant above had that sign too.

blokes · 4 years ago

power to my gramma! SHE refused herself admission into ANY restaurant! She didnt consider them kosher enough to serve her!haha! She would always have her flattened rice (poha/aval) and eat that. I am slowly getting there too.

Poornima · 4 years ago

The English have gone but they've left behind a snobbishness and pretentious bunch of values huh?

manuscrypts · 4 years ago

arunima: hey, enough clues to let u guess the place :)


sqrl/nt: the perfect balance of snobbishness and greed, thats the idea!!

manuscrypts · 4 years ago

gabby: lol, now that i'd love to do!! :)




satchit: there are a few nice guys out there, but as an industry i guess its snobbish..

manuscrypts · 4 years ago

blokes: that is a very grandma trait!! :)


poornima: yexactly, wonder why we carry the baggage!!

Deez · 4 years ago

i realize its becoming a habit, but is always inspired by urs....

Parna · 4 years ago

totally sucky Manu. should have hollered murder. really! we did that once in a 5 star hotel which refused to serve us coffee just cause we did not ask for some food. heck! we were not even asking for booze, which i understand from people perspective. we created a ruckus and spoke with the manager. made them serve us coffee. complimentary. wasn't all that comfortable post the ruckus. but we got heard :)

manuscrypts · 4 years ago

deez: not a bad habit at all. one of these days, i see myself changing the line, and putting on yours :).. as they say, sometimes the inspired is better than the inspiration...


parna: i merely said i would wait for one hour if i had to, and sat, all wet, on their plush leather sofa :)

I pity such people..now even more coz' of -ve publicity they've got from this blog :-)

pearl · 4 years ago

I have a slightly different take on this. See, it is this way, we have to understand that certain places follow certain rules. One is NOT supposed to wear denim for a formal black tie sit down dinner.Don't temples in south India ( Padmanabha Swamy Temple, Tvm, Guruvayoor, for instance) insist on a proper dress code ?

manuscrypts · 4 years ago

stone: i didnt want them to, so i have refrained from taking names..


pearl: agree, but formal dinners are by invitation and the dress code is clearly specified.. and as for temples, we are devotees there.. in a restaurant, i am a customer, paying for the meal i am about to have.. isnt there a difference??

pearl · 4 years ago

I was in no way trying to justify their action. what they did to you was improper and rude.

silverine · 4 years ago

Well..restaurants do have their dress rules and if everyone else has no problem adhering with it then I guess we should leave it at that.

Mirage · 4 years ago

That's weird...and stupid!

brrr...(trying to keep that temper flash down)

Woooaahhh!
What do I see here... not one but two -three posts with personal reference? Manu - tumko kua hua? I always thought you never wrote about yourself/family/experiences in direct referrence to urself due to some privacy law!! :P



What can I say - I am shocked!



-----

Achha achha...after all the drama.



Man.. these people - they are sad. Thats all I can say~!

manuscrypts · 4 years ago

pearl: but a different thought nevertheless :)


silverine: which they should announce beforehand, in the same ad where they invited people to check out their fare..

manuscrypts · 4 years ago

nupur: they are still only references, and set as an example to put across a point.. have realised that totally impersonal posts can become cold and uninteresting.. so what can i say.. you live, you learn :)
