aaaah! i'm home. after an AMAZING 2 weeks in Pune.
i find these stints reduce me to a spazzed-out, idiot-IQ'ed & saucer-eyed freak concerned only with where her next nap and meal are coming from, so i'll refrain from trying to post.
just a quick shout-out to all my loves. hola peeps, i'm back!

have i told you lately, you're a dumbass
this title has NOTHING to do with the post.
sing the line to rod stewart's yucky best though, and it's hilarious. enough to lift me out of the sludgy 'i hate everybody, everything!'-mood that work has put me in today.
P.S. it's 10:30 p.m., and i'm in office (so much for the cushy life of The Client!)
am now in a tearing hurry, here's the afore-mentioned poem, another ode to pointless crushes.

another wasted sigh
the moles by your mouth,
two clichés on one face.
and shameless; in the way
they beckon me to stare.
it can’t be, your crooked teeth
within that lopsided grin,
for the sin you won't commit.
in music, so dated; and happy
in its own’ness.
my willing foolhardiness,
so ready for choppy seas.
It has to be me,
and my horrendous need
for brick walls to break against.

in a futher nod to the fabulouness of my family tree
quick note: i have rewritten my previous posts to include the names of characters.
the end of the world (the bit my building stands on anyway)
hmmm, so hari boo'ed the pottery post. good call that. in a recent epiphany, i figured that i ONLY write when i'm miserable. which means, my writing's mostly sappy, drippy crap and represents only a small part of the fabulousness that is me (i know, modest to a fault!)
so it's back to talking about food, with bits of the life i live between meals thrown in for variety.
but first, yes, a little patch of the planet is coming undone. the flat above is undergoing an upheaval of half-huge proportions, and considering i'm still mildly spazzed out from the 2 weeks away from home, it's a bit much to take. pound pound pound pound!
food talk now. ma, beauty and i went out for japanese last night. after some debate, beauty wanted to repeat GCPC again, i insisted on trying something new for you and prevailed! yeah, i'm kinda selfless like that. preen preen!
so we landed up at Atria in worli to check out Origami. they serve japanese and thai food, and if that weren't random enough, the menu also features nasi goreng and other indonesian (?) staples on the last page, go figure! even before you get to the food, this fact alone should tip you off to a slightly casual 'they'll eat anything we throw at them' attitude, the kind i find epitomised by all the Blue- Foods restaurants i've tried (we're talking bombay blue, noodle bar, spaghetti kitchen) detractors can scream themselves blue, but i'm sticking to my guns on this one!
origami then. the interior's nice enough. although considering it cuts you off from the credit-card-high howling of shoppers/gawkers at the 4th floor food court just outside, it would be a blessing irrespective. on the whole though, the decor is text-book oriental with kitsch'y knick knacks that stick out sorely, and booze merchandise thrown about to further cement my para 2 notions (beauty's too- he came up with the blue foods comparison, and then it all fell into place)
we ordered, a sushi half platter, a soba noodle soup (1 by 3) with prawn tempura and ONE shiitake mushroom (!) and nasi goreng for ma (which was the one high point ALL of us dug into) i really shouldn't bother giving you my opinion on the food, i only know what i've read about japanese food, and i'm pretty sure this was NOT a definitive enough experience to comment on. for now it'll suffice to say, i'm not converting over to raw fish anytime soon!
the other eyebrow raiser is the pricing, it totally didn't make any sense. the japanese menu swings wildly between reasonable to 'what-the-fuck!', the thai menu and rest of it was way easier to stomach (i suspect, in more ways than just the pricing) which means a meal for two, with tipple could go anywhere from Rs. 1000/- to fuck-knows!
Origami, Atria mall, Worli
Verdict: if you do go, i had nothing to do with it!
plus points
- an extensive tipple menu- but only beauty drank, a kingfisher pint at that :(
- you can smoke with your meal- hurrah for that bit of non-nazism!
