It's All just CRAP By The Way.

This one is another one of my corporate Rants.
I hate it when people or companies take loads of money for something and give you substandard Products or service. It boils my blood and you should feel the same too.....


This is my review of Not just jazz by the bay.

Restaurant: Not Just Jazz By the Bay.
Location: E-Square.

I wanted to go to this restaurant for a while since a few of my friends recommended it.
The did however tell to try the Buffet.

I went there once with my sister and friend.
We ordered a-la-carte. And here is my review.

DRINKS:
My sis had something called Peach Fizz. I had a Tropical Bloom and my friend have a sweet and salty fresh lime soda. The tropical Bloom tasted like my Medicine that goes by the name of 'Ventolin'. The peach fizz was too fizzy and distasteful. And the fresh lime soda was...tolerable. The mocktails cost around Rs.120 and the fresh lime Rs. 50. So bad and sooooo not worth it.


STARTERS:
We ordered stuffed mushrooms, Potato Roesti and one more thing which escapes me now.
They were all ....okay. Not great. Not something i would recommend.
The quantity was atrocious. My 7 month old niece craps more than the amount they give you in each plate.
Each starter was in the Rs. 95 to Rs. 105 range.
YUCK!!!!

MAIN COURSE:
Now if you are a non-vegetarian then you have quite a bit of choice, but if not..then you have 5 pastas to choose from, one Ravioli, a Veg Wrap, and 2 more veg dishes which I cant remember.
I wanted the ravioli but it was not there. So I had the Crap Wrap. Now I really hate wasting food or water...but this was sooo bad that i left half of it. The Pasta Arabiata was okay.
Again the portions were so less that even a starving Somalian would turn it away. (I really pray to god for people who get no food daily. And people Please don't waste GOOD food. )

AMBIENCE:
The whole place has black everywhere. Black tables, black chairs, black rexine sofas giving it a very S&M feel. The floor tiling is nice though. A nice Drum kit sitd on the stage.

THE WAITERS:
I could sense a slight bit of arrogance... and I really hate arrogance.

All in all this place is a COMPLETE RIP OFF. I am so disgusted with the place that i will never ever go back to even try the buffet. Please Do not go there.
Not a satisfying lunch and paid an arm and a leg.
YOU have been warned.

Mars restaurants... STOP LOOTING the general public.

Pune International Film Festival (PIFF)

I went for 4 movies today in the Pune International Film Festival, or PIFF as they call it.
The movies I saw were :-
A French Canadian Movie called "Looking for Alexander",
An Australian movie "Three Dollars",
A Malayalam movie "When it Rained hard",
A French movie "A Real Man" (the names are translated names in some cases and has not been done to protect identities).

Here is my short viewing opinion of them all, more like a very rough suggestive guide for you.

Looking for Alexander
-----------------------------
This Movie was pretty good. It raised some questions by the end of it which were unanswered. The basic plot is quite decent. But the people in it act quite weird sometimes.....very contrasting behaviour within 2 minutes.
Not bad watching though.

Three Dollars
-----------------
This Movie was utter NONSENSE. Nothing made sense and nothing was relevant. The story is wavy with no direction as such ...and the way the flash backs were done were a bit confusing from time to time.
All in all, DON'T watch this crap.


When it rained hard
-------------------------
This movie had a decent story idea. I think they could have done more with the story. I think it was made quite badly.....the background score is very, very ANNOYING and IRRITATING (actually irritating, in every sense of the word).
The movie is worth a watch even though I felt it was executed badly.
Nice idea...bad execution.

A Real Man
---------------
This one is like Three Dollars...although I did like it a little better because there a few laughable moments....other than that ......CRAP.


That's all for now will put more on the rest of the movies that I do watch.
