A Short Rant

Something is irritating me today... and it is actually quite silly. And it has to do with Social Networking.

1) Why are there people who insist on adding you to their 'friends' list, login regularly to check up on what everyone else is doing, and yet insist on keeping their own profile totally private? What is the point of social networking, if you refuse to be social yourself?

Guess what... all you are doing is being creepy, and are nothing better than a snooper.

2) Why are there people who login to regularly check up on what everyone else is doing, and yet take forever to respond to their own postings?

Guess what... we all know you are jobless enough to be logging into Facebook like the rest of us, so stop trying to act like you are too busy to be doing so.

That is all.

Restaurant Review: Desi Dosa Madras

Desi Dosa Madras
8859 120 St.
Delta, BC

Went out for South Indian food last weekend, and thought I would write a quick review. Desi Dosa Madras is a veg/non veg South Indian restaurant located on Scott Rd in Surrey/Delta. Unlike most South Indian Restaurants in Vancouver, the place has more of an upscale, refined feel, yet, the prices are kept very reasonable, and the cuisine offered is quite thorough. Everything from Biryani to Dosa to Uttapam to Idlis to Coffee is offered, and if you so desire, alcoholic drinks may also be ordered.

I must say, I was highly unimpressed with the service. Our order was not taken correctly, it took forever to get a seat, despite the fact the restaurant was half empty, and the waitress seemed to be a bit snooty. However, the lack of quality service is made up for by the plentiful food, the taste and the prices. I must say of all the South Indian restaurants I have been to in Vancouver, this place probably offers the best 'bang for your buck', as the food is tasty, and so plentiful that you can hardly finish it.

Be prepared to be frustrated by the service, but otherwise, definitely worth a check out.

Location: 3/5
Service/Ambiance: 1.5/5
