Little story

Isn't it amazing how diverse the blogworld is and yet how everyone seems conected wihin a few degrees of separation? I was randomly visiting a Calcutta based blog, where the blogger was complaining about how women at restaurants are automatically directed to the non smoking section. Which reminded me of the time, many moons (well not that many!)ago when me and my girlfriends were celebrating graduation at a popular Park street fixture - Peter Cat actually. And we ordered beer. And the manager came over to explain to us apologetically that they do not serve alcohol to unaccompanied women - though how a group of four women could be described as unaccompanied would be asked by young women today, I think.

We were then treated to complementary ice cream - and I am ashamed to admit that all the feminist fury melted right away at that bribe - and thus began a career of capitalist corruption and the end of youthful idealism.

Uh, to those who are not initiated , hyperbole is meant to be ironic! Does PC serve beer to gaggles of girlfriends in Kolkata today?

oh, an yeah, my eye. 'to each her own' is surprisingly apt. because it is my eye. sort of thing.
 
Like the Anjan Dutta song...bhengchi kete dakh! Hope you are feeling much better now!!!
Didn't fully get the second comment, but really beautiful eye, does the other one look the same and in the same direction? ;)Just teasing OK?
 
i looove peter cat... dunno if they serve beer to unaccompanied women or not but they still serve chelo kebabs!!! :D
 
don't know about PC, but Olypub still doesn't serve booze to unaccompanied women.
once, when girlfriends and i landed up, we had to move to the table of a guy that a friend just happened to know in order to be served.
was tremendously annoying.
