The Buffet tales

At first thought, going to a casino seems a bit overdoing.Moreover a casino in Goa that too on a cruise!! Would it be any good ?

The numbers :
Entry Fee : Rs.2000
What you get : Rs.1000 (Rs 500 x 2) complimentary playing coupons
What about food : There is a buffet !! No more queries from me,here are my four green Gandijis.
What about drinks : there is free unlimited alcohol!! No more queries from Tiwari.It was Shaurya's idea from the start while Adarsh was excited about the prospect of becoming a millionaire overnight(or alteast recovering his whole Goa tour expenditure)  and you know Sahil ,he was and is always like 'Just do it' people. A few more green and some red Gandhijis came out.
As for the three left out(Avnish,Vakul and Arora) ,when you are in front of a casino,playing safe is not the best move.I am sure they now regret it.The remaining part of the story needs special attention so I will get back to it some other time.

Getting back to the topic,
Buffet to me is what unlimited download is to download freaks or what unlimited STD calls is to long distance lovers.The starters which never ends,the diverse main course and then the dessert!! The chocolate fountains,tons of cakes of all kinds,stuffed things in glasses ,hot gulab-jamuns etc etc.The best part is you can do a Pan Singh Tomar with difference flavors not just vanilla.

It all started with the first visit to Barbeque Nation which might have been our last visit had any one of us(Anurag,Rohit and myself) fallen out of a moving metro.Now we know why the virtual lady keeps shouting 'Do not lean on the door' because it does open even when the metro is moving.Though later calculations reveal that it was only Rohit who would have flown out.

Like all famous cults, there are certain rules of buffets :

  • Find the exact cost  and is there any discount you can get.
  • Find what they are serving.
  • Reserve the table in advance.
  • The most important of all : Keep a fast for the entire day,the buffet Gods are disrespected if you eat anything else during the day.I now realize how much pain my mother goes through when she keeps a fast.But you gotta do what you gotta do to please the Gods.
  • Try to figure out some crooked way to make someone else to pay for your dinner buffet.This is where we are lucky to have Aman Mittal and for once Honey Patodi too!!
Honey (I have a friend whose name is Honey,how cool am I !!) will be the only person I know who pays for buffet at Zinos for three people and does not go himself, thanks to shrewd convincing skills of Adarsh.Had we taken Honey we would have to pay a part of the bill however small that might have been while in his absence we were able to avail the offer of 'dinner for three at the cost of two'(keep in mind this offer is valid only on weekends).

The other party at Zinos was again unique in its own way. The complex bill sharing formula was dependent on the constant B which is directly proportional to your stipend at intern.
So,
B = your stipend at intern / Sum total of stipends of all the persons involved
Your share of the bill = B * total bill .

But then there are great people like Aman Mittal who alone can host a buffet for 10 people,just dont forget to invite Sagar Sachdev.We all from Satpura House thank TODAI to select Aman and we kindly request you to continue sending the scholarship on time.

Some of you must be thinking what made gave me the courage to write again.The picture below will give you the answer,Though I am still not sure who is stalking me in Germany.

One more thing :


Cheers.
