Only in Lucknow.....

KFC opened it's outlet in Sahara Ganj recently.

Had to go there to purchase some furniture from the Home Store on Sunday. Reached there around 7pm and was my way up when I saw KFC outlet practically empty. Seeing my good luck went in and had a mini meal which by the usual KFC standard was pretty OK- no thick, crunchy masala, no boiled, bland chicken pieces. The chicken pieces were large and well done with just the right amount of flavouring.

While relishing my meal thought about all the times I had been to KFC in Delhi & Bangalore and how I had to wait in queue to place my order, had to search for a place to sit with food trays in my hands and how people used to hover overhead waiting for me to finish so that they can occupy my seat.

Compared to all that this was pure bliss. Instant service, choice of places to sit and finishing the meal at your own easy pace. Things which can only be enjoyed and appreciated in a small city like Lucknow.

The sky is clear and has a whitish haze due to the heat. The road goes straight and right ahead is a white rectangular pillar around 2 feet wide and 6 feet high on the left side of the road. There is a small square platform on top and then a round white structure on top. There is a white boundary wall on the left, but on the right side of the road there is neither a post or a bou

Tarae.....

saw "Tarae zameen pur" today. Finally! Thank God I was forewarned about the tear fest and was mentally prepared for it. Came out with only a couple of scenes which got to me.......like the one in which Aamir paints the kid laughing and obviously the last scene when he runs up to him. Nice movie all in all.

Foggy Days

23rd is my flight from Del to B'lore and the fog is on the rise! In all my wisdom I got the booking done for the 9am flight but looking at the conditions I feel even that to will be a bit too early. It's 12:30pm and the fog is still very much there over here in Lucknow. I guess, I should be mentally prepared for a long haul at the airport. And with two kids in tow, that should be fun!
