Had a good weekend. Among other things, went out with this very sweet boy:
We went to the Taj President for the Barbeque by the Poolside, which serves “Indian kebabs and Continental grills”.
The food was decent and the portions were very large compared to any place I’ve eaten at recently. Rates were as to be expected at a Taj, but considering the size of the portions, I’d say this place is very good value for money.
Surprising then that it was quite empty. Just another (phirang) couple and us. Which was of course, absolutely lovely.

Imagine how romantic - candle light, alfresco dining, the moonlight & stars. And the company wasn’t bad either 
Remember this place if you’re looking for a romantic dining experience in Mumbai!
Anyway, to move on, since I’m not too big on Indian desserts, we went to Waffle Co (near Kemps Corner) and had this mouth watering Chocolate filled Waffles with Chocolate poured over and Chocolate ice-cream on the side. YUM!!!
Yeah, I know, you’re thinking, it’s a while since this girl posted about chocolate, has she lost her sweet tooth? No people, as you can see, have not!
This weekend have the Open Blog Meet - for bloggers, readers of blogs & anyone else who wants to come (do spread the word people!).
There’s also blues legend Buddy Guy (who has been held up as an exemplar by Eric Clapton) playing at the MMRDA grounds in Bandra-Kurla on the 4th Feb. Haven’t gotten tickets for that yet, but am planning on going.. Edit: As of 3pm, now have tickets!
Also, am proud to let y’all know, further to this post (way back in June of 06, yelp!), I’ve finally updated the ole travel blog!
To check it out, click on the image below:
Will go now, should probably get some work between the last weekend and the next

Say hi to Buddy for me. I’m probably his biggest fan this side of Chicago! Wish I could come … but you never know, I just might!
… and i bet the question everybody’s asking is: who is ‘very sweet boy’? But Mel isn’t telling, is she?
Damn right I got the Blues
From my head down to my shoes
I know I can’t win, baby
But I ain’t gotta damn thing to lose!
… better learn the words so you can sing along
Have fun babe!

Isn’t the guy a little too pixlated for your taste?
January 31st, 2007 at 6:08 pm
hey Melody, why is the image pixelated or is something wrong with my eyes?
January 31st, 2007 at 6:30 pm
@ SwB: Heeeeeey, if you are coming, drop me a line, would love to meet up with you. On second thoughts, why don’t you come on down a day earlier, then you can make the blog meet too?
“and i bet the question everybody’s asking is: who is ‘very sweet boy’?”
Geez hon, you have NO idea how true this is. This is the LAST time I’m putting up no pic on my blog (pixelated or not). Don’t know why people are so curious to find out what’s on in my life - like I say, if and when something does happen, I’ll tell y’all. Till then, you’ve gotta (hopefully!) believe me, there’s nothing there, we’re just friends. Sigh.
@ IC: Wasn’t tasting him, so don’t know.
@ Shriram: Dunno, when was the last time you’ve had yer eyes checked ?
