Ready-to-eat ITC Kitchens of India

Mr. and Mrs.Tushar Deshpande enter Odriew Restaurant one fine, sunny Sunday morning and are promptly identified by the management and ITC Kitchens of India for a joke in good humor.

As the couple settle in, a waiter approaches them and points to a board which says that service will be very fast, so that the guests can eat in peace…

Parvati and Paromita’s experiences at Odriew Restaurant

Parvati met Paromita, her childhood friend, in the busy streets of Iannehc and they sauntered into Odriew Restaurant to catch up with old times.

They sat down and beckoned to a waiter. There were none in sight, except for a sweeper. They wondered if he had seen a waiter. Promptly the scantily clad dirty urchin…

The story continues…

…Wore the waiter’s jacket and with a pad in hand enquired of the order.

A much bewildered Parvati asked for another waiter. 

Another urchin put on a waiter’s jacket and enquired of the order. (Oops!)

A visibly upset Parvati and Paromita asked to see the manager. (Dear, dear!)

Suitable chastened, the lad disappeared and in a matter of a few seconds appeared once again, this time fastidiously attired and said in chaste English, “Problem, ladies?” (Dear, dear!)

Parvati, visibly red in the face, threatened to close down the shop should this charade continue; all of which was recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Tsk, tsk)

At length, the manager arrived nervously wringing his hands and explained that a joke had been played on them by the management and ITC Kitchens of India and if they could please return to their table they would be served a spread fit for the Gods.

Tickled pink by the attentive attendants, the duo left happily satisfied but not before being presented with a hamper each with best compliments from the management and ITC Kitchens of India.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a nice day!

Baby Aroonima loves eating...?

From the Mouth of Baby Aroonima Mukherjee

Ronnie is riding a cycle. Mummy is holding me and feeding me while daddy is holding Ronnie’s bike.

Daddy lets the bike go…

…And see, Ronnie is riding it all by himself!

 Whee… what fun!  

Mummy and daddy are laughing; I am crying. I want to ride too.

 Mummy is saying something like you will have to grow older but first you have to eat Kitchens of India. Then you will grow quickly and be able to ride like dada.

I want to eat Kitchens of India quickly. Will I be able to ride like dada tomorrow?

Mummy kisses me and says yes, of course, but first some rice and Kitchens of India.

I lap it up hungrily. 

I love Kitchens of India.

It will help me grow like dada, no?

What do you think? Tell her the truth or let her grow out of it on her own? (Wink, wink)

-   Ready-to-eat ITC Kitchens of India

On a hot summer’s day at Odriew Restaurant:

Mr. and Mrs. Jagannath saunter in to the restaurant on a hot and sunny afternoon. They have been identified for a prank in jest by the management and ITC Kitchens of India.

Uma Jagannath motions to the waiter to take the orders. “Can you make it snappy; we’re very hungry.” The waiter assures her that he will and then adds as if as an afterthought that today’s specialty is yesterday’s leftovers…

The story continues…

… yesterday’s leftovers at tomorrow’s prices. 

“Excuse me”, a bewildered Uma replies, “What does that mean?”

“You see,” replies the waiter a tad impatiently, as to a child, “We do not waste any food out here and we also charge 20 per cent over and above today’s prices for yesterday’s food.”

Uma blurts out before her husband can speak: “But that’s baasi food!” (Tsk, tsk)

The waiter smiles knowingly. “Precisely. That’s why it is so special. You see,” he adds further,” nothing is wasted around here. Not even the leftovers from joottha plates. It is all collected, put in the respective bowls, heated and served hot. Nobody can tell the difference.” He smiles at the brilliance of the idea…”Taste it and see for yourself? I’m not lying!” (Hee-haw!)

Speechless with shock, Uma gets up to leave this God-forsaken place, when the manager arrives and smiles nervously.

 Problems?

 Uma unable to bear it lets loose a tirade, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Oh, dear!)

The manager profusely apologizes and says that a joke had been played on them by the management and ITC Kitchens of India. And if they would be so kind as to have a seat a meal fit for the Gods would be set before them. And no, we do not serve baasi food, ever.

Suitably mollified, the couple enjoy their meal, and, before leaving, are gifted a hamper of Kitchens of India with best compliments from the management and ITC Kitchens of India.

Namaskaar.

Have a nice day.
