In view of the above, you should have written the sentence, "The photographs

Or just "to make people look fet"?

The meeting was great fun, and I enjoyed meeting all the Silk-listers I
hadn't met before enormously. The photographs have been digitally altered,
though, to make people look fat.

I shall summarise highlights for those who could not make it.

1] Cory explained how you get free heroin in England if you get someone
pregnant.

2] Vinit told us about his fetish for trains, which is why he keeps coming
to Bombay all the time.

3] Devdas confessed his fetish for walking. Even though he lives in
Borivali, he gets off at Kandivali and walks home, which takes him about
seven hours.

4] Supriya told us about her fetish for sexist writing, and why she likes
the magic realists for that reason.

5] We discussed why chawls are like college hostels.

6] The second round of rotis came late.

There. Now you all can also talk about the Mumbai Silk-Meet as if you were
there.

2008-09-23 Thread Supriya Nair
Deepa,

This is indeed what they have named this and every other restaurant in the
chain [I presume there is a chain, since they have an outlet even in
Hyderabad] after; at various points during dinnertime you will see servers
walking around with platters heated by tiny braziers attached underneath, as
well as hookahs. Other  lighting is negligible. *g* The stairs are
unimprovable on grounds of dimness, dankness and winding slipperiness also.
A good time was had by all.

-- or so I hope; Mumbaikars are as fond of talking about trains as others
are of weather, so at some point of time the conversation picked up on train
travel in the city and only occasionally veered off-track thence. I am not
sure this was what Cory was expecting to spend much of dinner mulling over.
I think Devdas has photos.

The food was plentiful.

Y'all should have been there.

Supriya.

Yes...I was also so not-happy at not being able to meet CoryI too am
asking, "how was it for you (all)?"


And...what does the restaurant name mean? I cannot imagine that they named
it after a lump of coal?
