Ghandi and Other Adventures at the Taj Mahal

A few weeks ago, we went out to eat at a new Indian restaurant. Okay, not new in general, but new to us.

My chai tea! It was not as good as it was at the first Indian restaurant that we went to, but still good. It was just overly sweet and there were too many cloves in it. 

But the pot was totally impressive. And totally full. I couldn't finish it all.

Some of the decor. A glowing Taj Mahal. GET IT???

A non-glowing Taj Mahal.

And this is Ghandi. With a glowing peacock. I'm sure he enjoyed me taking his photo. This restaurant had some very authentic wait staff. There was one girl who was so pretty and she looked really kind. I said to Nina, "I want to be that girl's friend." She said I sounded like Liz Lemon.

Mom got chicken masala and naan.

I got malai kofta, my favorite.

Nina had a hard time choosing, but I think she went with the matter paneer. Clearly she approved of whatever she ended up with.

This is Dad's lamb and our peshawari naan, which was their version of the Bombay naan that we had at Tulsi which I ranted and raved about. Again, not as good. But still interesting, and pretty good. Overall, it was very delicious, but not any better than Tulsi. Though the mango lassis were also amazing. How can you go wrong with a mango lassi? You can't, that's how.

I know, you were all dying to see these photos. Well, I have more. Our Spring Equinox photos still to come, and random photos of the spring in Pennsylvania, which arrived early and is full swing!

    I have nothing in Lanc to compare it to, so I thought it was awesome. And crazy filling.

No, it's just sad really.

So today one girl at work was like, "I'm going online to see who's on missed connections." (We don't really work hard.) She came up with someone looking for a girl named Ashley who's 23, and there is a girl in our office who fits this description. Everyone was sort of fakely excited. And so I said, "I have no idea what you guys are talking about." It turns out that craigslist.com has this link called "missed connections" where you can post an ad looking for someone that you either met in passing or saw somewhere and didn't get a chance to talk to. It's pretty crazy. "Go on," my colleagues urged me. "It's so fun and interesting, you'll get addicted! Maybe someone is looking for you!" At which point I concluded that I should highly doubt that, and if I saw my name on there I'd probably immediately die of a heart attack. They agreed. And since I'm such a hard worker, and also it was the end...

30 for 30

Well, this is it. Next week, I'm leaving my 20's forever. In a previous post , I wanted to find 30 random acts of kindness to do for my 30th year, based on someone else's idea ( this woman ). Anyway, most of her acts of kindness involved buying things for people she didn't know. Clearly, she has a large disposable income. I don't have a large disposable income, but I do have time and some kind words, so I figured I would donate what I have. I googled some ideas. I almost didn't write about this on my blog, as a lot of the ideas that came up were like, "smile at someone," or "hold open the door for the person behind you," which are things that I do every day without even thinking about it, and even though that totally sounded like a backdoor brag, I didn't mean it that way, I just mean I want to challenge myself to go out of my way to be kinder. I mean, how lame would it be if one of my actual goals was "say good morning to a strang...

The reality of "Twilight"

Image
Some of you may know that I only recently returned to work, after months of unemployment. That was a glorious time for me, but unfortunately, not what this post is about. When I came back to work, I was shocked to see that a folder was saved in My Documents called "Verity" (especially since the folder called "Verity" on the main drive containing all the instructions I had written on how to do my job was deleted, dang it). Anyway, within this folder I found a really interesting article I had written last year regarding the Twilight craze consuming our nation these days. Since now I have a place to post this, I thought I'd share it all with you. Enjoy! On nearly every news report I’ve ever seen covering the new Twilight series and the apparent mania following thereof, one of the many love-stricken teenagers unfailingly and inarticulately declares the reason for her obsession is “He’s the perfect man!” (Though, to be fair, I have heard, “He’s...
