Super Sized....
Its America. Its land of the super-sized. On Sunday Kallu, Priya and myself headed down to Annapolis (Maryland) for an off-beat film festival. There was not much to say about the festival, but there was a lot to say about this regular sized coke float which Priya ordered at a restaurant near Annapolis waterfront. Lots to say.... and lots to eat!
Yes, we are still trying to figure out what the hell were they thinking.

LOL. Tera size dekha, isliye restaurant-waale ne itna bada sa coke float diya. Tujhe dekh kar socha hoga, "Koi gal nahi. Yeh banda zaroor khatam kar sakta hai. Waise bhi khaate-peete khandan ka lagta hai..It wont make much of a difference if he puts on a few more pounds..Doesnt look like hes doing much to shed them anyway!!!"
:p:p
apoo: i pity you man... you had to go to a film festival to get something like this? we get it here at happy, albeit its flavoured with termites and bugs and all sorts of anthropods... but still its closer to our place...
medha: i am sure if u were a gujju, this : Tera size dekha, isliye restaurant-waale ne itna bada sa coke float diya line makes perfect sense... kyoun... socho socho... hint: think abt gujju pronunciation of coke :P
OH MY GOD!!! HAHAHA! IYER!! THAT GIVES THE ABOVE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MEANING..JEEEEZ!
LOL. :p:p
:lol:
@ Iyer: You've unravelled the mysrery behind it. That's a frothy twist, indeed! ;)
@ Apoo: Guess size does matter in the US of A!
Ewww....looks like shaving cream.
Medha: I am on the same page as Iyer. When I first read the comment, kinda skimmed thru it and I saw "Tera size dekha..." and"restaurant waala" "itna bada" and "coke" and I was like, whats this girl talking about??? The I read it slowly again. LOLZ!
Ok, on a serious note, I promise I didnt have more than 2 regular spoonfuls from that. Also, it is strictly prohibited to talk about my growing waistline. Its a contract you sign in your mind before you read my blog. So watch it!!! I will sue you!!!
Iyer: I am travelling places in the quest to find an international brother of Happy. Still havent found one.
Couchie: Trust me, it does ;)
Smithy: I could have so expected that comment from you. See... see... I know you so well!
Medha: Thats Mahi's line! Stop saying stuff like her... 2 Mahi's would spell disaster.
apoo: stop finding something you will never find... there's no place like happy anywhere in the world... and why does your "coke" needs a float, doesnt it know to swim... thats what reading medha's comment made me think for the second time... "tera size dekha aur coke float diya"
medha: i have only two words for you... HAPPY REALISATION :p
Iyer... ask Medha. She said it.
And I shall find happiness somewhere else in this world.... I shall!
Mahi: And you call yourself an Indian citizen. BAH! Learn Hindi! U people from Wadala!!
Medha: Now what did I do???
I used to love this chocolate called M&M. Unfortunately now M&M reminds me of Medha&Mahi. I am haunted by the M&M ghosts.
Suddenly I thank God for the following:
- I am not in Singapore
- M&M are not in USA
- I dont have sisters like M&M
"U people from Wadala" JUST CRACKED ME UP!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Abey oye, you will get me into trouble...for making me burst out laughing in the office! Idiot! :p
But it was a real good one! LOL.
Okay, let me get done with laughing first..and then i will get back to Apoo-bashing! lol.
pray, tell us u managed to finish coke float? i am sure u did not let anyone down did ya? As Medha said, "Waise bhi khaate-peete khandan ka lagta hai.."
:-)
now u know why 80% of americans are obese:D!!
or are there any hot men left or does the 20% consist of the actors and the old people??
but if that was the amout of chocolate icecream they wud serve ..im comming...!!
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for people getting fired at work due to uncontrollable laughter or Anger!
Medha: Read above.
KJ: I repeat. It was not my coke float. I was not responsible for finishing it.
Lord: Come along. They have all sortsa chocolate ice-creams here. The best I have had till now was one called "Death By Chocolate". Was truly worth dying for.
And hot men exist. Here is a link to one such hot mans blog
oh you people from ANDHERI! or bandra or wherever the hell it is you come from :@
GODDAMIT!
*bangs the table*
apee u do realise that if you EVER come to singapore, there are gonna be two girls who'll make your life miserable
*sweet smile*
Mahi dear... before you say anything about Andheri, remember half the population who comments on my blog lives in Andheri. :)
And well.... Andheri is cool!!! Unlike Wadala, which sounds like a Gujju sweet... or boiling potatoes!
And do you realize that this moment I might very well be in Singapore... u wud never know :P
Umm Mahi, Andheri is cool and Bandra ROCKS!
But i'm still on your side when it comes to dissing Apoo. Promise! Or making his life miserable for that matter.
Oh puhleeez Apoo, you cant be in Singapore. You just cant. Mahi, did you feel any tremors?? Or did the recent news feature any mild earthquakes in sg?? No rite? I know thats whats gonna happen once Apoo lands in Sg. *courtesy of his growing waistline and the countless coke floats he has had, but denies having them* :p
So Medha, if I am in Singapore and there is no earthquake, can we conclude the waistline has reduced?
ooo brr andherians ooo scary
watcha gonna do huh take me to shoppers stop and leave me there to punish me?
HA!
andheri sucks
and of course wadala would sound like boiled potatoes to u..URE MARATHI.
woah!!!! Pops/Mahi keep it between urselves.
Since your friend didn't want a coke 'byte', and asked for a coke 'float'...Well...she asked for it. :-) Imagine what she would have got, had she asked for a 'double'.
Keep the Harbour Line (Wadala etc.)& Andheri out of this.
Anyways whats the connection of boiled potatoes,wadala & marathi?
You know Mahi, Wadala does sound a lil like 'batata'..lol.. But dint get the connection between boiled potatoes and being a maharashtrian. :S
And take you to shoppers stop for punishment?!?! You sure that would be A PUNISHMENT?? I dont think so yaar..
Mahi, when u have no clue of whats going on (historically or geographically), just give up!
Brad: A double would lead to overloading ;)
Bird, you dont travel the harbour line anymore. But I am glad to see you still stand by it, defend it.
And yes, Mahi, please explain the connection.
Medha: I think Mahi was trying to trick me into taking her shopping!
Sigh! Now i really wanna shop there. Oh have u been to that club there...Club nine or Club seven?? Right above shoppers stop?
Gosh i miss bombay now!!! I LOVE AAMCHI MUMBAI!!
Medha. I live behind Shoppers Stop. Common wall. If you have ever been there around Holi season and got hit by balloons as you got out of the exit.... blame Moi (and Bird, and Abbs, and Pals, and Bakshi.....)
Bird might deny it, but he is lying
And the club above Shoppers Stop is called "T-Top"
Thats where all the action happens.
Oh...then its not the one im talking about. Then i guess its in some other mall, but in Andheri. If i'm not wrong, its called Club Seven. Or was it Club nine? Aaaaah, cant remember. The only thing i remember that the NDTV guys were, and they filmed my cousins and me while we were drinking n dancing. Geez, khandan ka naam mitti mein mila diya humne!
Damn now i miss Holi! iiisshhh! :(
Woh! It looks like a hat. Great idea - hatdrink. A hat you can drink! Yeah!
club nine and seven both are in bandra ... seven is on the 9th floor of bandra shoppers stop and club nine is not on the ninth floor of bandra shoppers stop
.. seven sucks
Oooops, i made a blunder. Sowwie!
So its in Bandra eh? Hmm, i think i went to the one that was beside this restaurant called 'Sheesha' or something.
imm comming im comming .. btw i had death by choclate is found even in bangalore if im not wrong .. some cafe i dun remember.. but itz sup 2 rock kathey..!
yeh i was talking about the other hot men.. i figured u are too untouchable:P
almost like jhonny depp!!
Medha: FYI, "T-Top" is the lingo used in my apartment complex for "Terrace top". thats where we all guys (called Nanguys) sit and have tullee sessions. Its been rebranded as Club T-Top. You were right about LCub 7 and 9 on Shoppers (only at Bandra). I was just trying to confuse you :P
Paro: T-Top rocks! Dont goto seven!
Medha: The restaurant you are talking about is Bageecha..... ok, i am trying to confuse u again!
Kay: I think you have come up with a brilliant idea.... I love hats. They cover my bald spot! Wanna try to sell the concept?
LOAT: Death by Chocolate is a flavour here, made by Friendlies or someone I think... not sure if its the same one in B'lore.
apoo: now your knowledge about clubs is outdated... please clear the cache and refresh :P... and keep your area and boundaries close to wadala...
medha: you are right... sheesha it is... it is this sort of new restaurant above shoppers stop bandra :)
ps:i am one lucky guy... the word verification here reads PEETUN... broken into PEE (that is drink in hindi) and TUN (that is sloshed drunk in slang)... today is my good day :P
Corner House, u mean, LOAT? The one that a little way down from the end of Brigade Road? *sighhhhh* I miss ninna Bengalooru....
@idea: i think so...! im not sure ...
@idea: i think so...! im not sure ...
im sitting at my desk n starving!
this aint the perfect time for this post :(
thhis is the 13th time i have come back to this post since morning
im obsessed with the coke float take it away..!! take away the pic!!!!
im already as large as the float itself!!
Iyer: It could also mean today you will get high on your pee!
Pixel: Make you of the Maggi you hide in the secret compartment of your drawer.
LOAT: Come back once more, 13 is an unlucky number!
Eh Apoo, NEW POST YAAAAAAAR! :p
Whoa! Medha, you are good at high demands and pressurizing!
Feel bad for your to be husband
"Food, now!"
"Wash dishes, now!"
"Lets go shopping, Now!"
"Clean the house, Now!"
"Ding-Dong, never!"
I have decided to slow down my "posting frequency". Please check back after like.... ummm... 2 years!
Just admit it, you want a new post coz u wanna read/write new comments
Shouldn't you be taking it as a compliment, that i am asking you to write a new post?!? SIGH!
Apoo: Post. Now.
Medha: I do, I do. Just that, if its your wish that I shold post, then the post which I write should meet certain standards na? Hence, lemme think.... of a worthwhile post.
Smithy: When will women have that same reaction towards sex?
OMG! Apoo, is getting all desperate. tch tch. :p
Me? Desperate?
Its someone else who is been repeatedly saying, "Apoo, Now!"
I think that SOMEONE was referring to a NEW POST.
But you might be referring to something completely different! :p
Oh, I know u girls... first u'll start with wanting a post, then u'll want something else... and then something more...
I was just making life simpler for y'all by cutting out all the intermediate steps!
Seriously man, end your blogging ventures after making your last post about a 'hot' girl, instead of Brad Pitt's frontal, 50 Cents' anterior, and an Ice-cream topping. Think about it.
I, MAHIMA, DEMAND A NEW POST.
WE CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT A DRINK WITH A LOT OF CREAM/FOAM/WHATEVER, FOR SO LONG.
QUIT BEING LAZY.
BUM.
HAHA. GOOOOOD ONE MAHI! =D
LOL...looks more like a whole lot of shaving foam;-))
Apoo, i just HAD TO make it '60 comments'. The number '59' was looking tooo odd! So guess what???
ITS TIME TO WRITE A NEW POST!!! :p
Write whatever, it'll still be better than reading what Appoo writes.
eh bird...dont be mean to apoo.
only medha and i are allowed to do that.
And i agree with Mahi! =D
Wow, I can't beleive I read thru the 64 comments here...! What I did gather is Andheri rocks, and I absolutely second that. Man, Shoppers stop is like my adda, I can't beleive we were neighbours at some point of time! And do think I linked you through Mahi in Singapore, how the world goes around :)
Brad: Yes! You have inspired my happy ending! :D
Mahi: I was told, the lazy shall inherit the earth.
Deepak: I think this pic would do good for one of those "Abstract Reasoning" classes.
Winny: Abbs has said he is gonna go first. Poem or no poem in my comments, I shall not blog about it. And Abbs makes it sound much more funnier than me... have patience.
Bird: Start drinking booze!
M&M: Bird is not being mean! He is just being himself.
Menagerie: Wooo!! Fellow shopperstopperite! We rock! Sorry if you ever got ballooned wet during holi tho!
yes menagerie, Andheri rocks. Infact theres a huge rock which is a geological marvel in Andheri. Check out "Gilbert Hill" in Wikipedia.
yay! Bird seems to be drunk again!
Kya yaar Apoo...wheres the new post? Nothing to write about?? Arrey then write about your two fav people na.. Mahi and Medha.. WHAT BETTER TOPIC CAN U GET! :p
Medha, exactly the persons I am writing about... which is why it takes so long.... need to make up something exciting about ya dull lives :P
medha: you got it all wrong... when you and mahi contribute to 50% of apoo's comment section, your life has to be dull... i mean how much duller can it get than commenting on apoo's blogs..
actually it could get duller if you comment on either mine or bird's blog, but that again is a digression from the topic... so accept it... M & M contribute to 50% of apoo's comments and that definitely is DULL :P
In reply...certainly never so long as you keep putting up pics of shaving cream in food. Salmon kebabs are a different story. However, that's a whole new line of thought. So I repeat:
Apoo. POST. Now.
correction: salmon kebabs with cut fingers
yea yea medha and i put up 50% of the comments here..yaay yipee
apoo. new post.
N
O

Iyer: That was 2 birds in one stone... no, 3 birds (not apna bird), one stone.
