'Aki'lles

Well, ideally the blog should be titled 'Mary's treat' but since I was the only beneficiary of it, hence the title. Without too much deliberation we zeroed in on the venue for the treat and off we went on a sleepy Sunday morning to an Indian restaurant. For a change, food at this restaurant tasted genuinely Indian and did not turn out to be one of those non-spicy, sweet and slick disasters, typical of Indian restaurants in this part of the world (run invariably by Bangladeshis). The only problem with this place was their strict interpretation of Indian food (I guess that's the restaurants USP), hence no Gobi Manchurian, Tomato Soup and the likes. Sigh..miss good old Shanti Sagar :-).

Well matters of gastronomy aside, here's a toast to Mary's resilience and spirit to see through a rather difficult phase. I need to learn all this and more from her as I embark on my quest for employment.
