the Innside story

It is 10 minutes to 2 in the watch hanging on the waist of a bald guy who is grinning widely over some joke which the lady stading close to him must have whispered. There are beer casks being loaded on a horse cart in some distance. All the folks there have some familiarity about them, some Goan touch. They are a part of the murals painted by Mario Miranda in the Cafe Mondegar or Mondy's ( can google or search orkut for their fan following ). My friend was telling me something about his German client who was causing some problem over his last delivery of some piece of code. I just happened to look at the dish on the table next to us. It was some bland preparation of noodles. What would it be tasting ... obviously bland what else. The tables were so closely interspersed with each other that it gave an appearance of the bogie of a local train.

It always happens that things start glittering and the music which was hitting the ears earlier now turns into melodious background score and all the hullabaloo created by the co-beerers (don't click the dictionary s/w on your machine and start cursing me ... i know it is not a word ) on other tables sounds like sweet chirping. All this happens once you are down a few glasses of beer and then you tend to make a beeline ( not a peeline ) for that important part of the pub /restaurant .... which is usually alloted the most elegance out of the entire interior or exterior design of the place. It usually has the most wittiest of lines or pictures.

I remember there was a message on one men's restroom at a pub 'Do not throw cigarettes in urinals it makes them soggy and wet and thus difficult to light' ( So caring naa ... ) This is informational for girls because I am sure there can not be so much creativity on their side of the wall ( usually the two share the same wall ... now don't let your imagination go wild ) . It is said that you judge a gentleman by the kind of shoes he wears and a place with the kind of restrooms they keep. The restaurant owners put special creativity to the signs that they put on the doors of the restrooms. I know for sure that this is in order to confuse the innocent folks who are already a little high on senses of their own. Thank God I have remained a winner uptil now in this game of wits. Instead of writing clearly they would put a symbol of a girl with skirt and guy with pants. I am amazed what would the people from mountains do on looking at these signs where both the genders wear the same kind of long coat kind of thing and what about the girls wearing pants ... at times they will put the pictures of raja and rani from the mughal period or king and queen out of a pack of cards to let you loosen your bowels with royalty ... till this it is fine but then in one other place they had put 'MAM' and 'MOUCHEE' .. can you guess which one is which. I'll help you out .. the 'MOUCHEE' had a moustache and 'MAM' had i think lips ... the Restaurant is called MAMOUCHEE ...they serve excellent Lebanese food.

I dunno why I started off on loos but now that you have stood with me uptil now ..lets do a high five ( not the way sukhi and DJ do in RDB but a cleaner one ) and bye bye
