Bougie-ness!

What is with Indian restaurants and their jugs of water with uncut lemons bobbing in them? I wouldn't have an issue if they were cut, but uncut? Let's refer to this as 'Unlemon Water'.



I understand there are health advantages to drinking unlemon water, but for that, the lemons need to be in the water for a prolonged period of time, or at least cut open, for heaven's sake.
If you've ever been in a decent Indian restaurant, you know the kind of crowd that's expected. That's more because of the Indian population rather than the actual popularity of the restaurant.
The point is, because of the crowd, there's never enough time for the water to soak in the goodness from these uncut lemons, before it's completely served to customers. The jugs then have to be filled with fresh water, and quickly served again.
This might work in other countries or restaurants where there's smaller population

This is just complete bougie-ness from the restaurant's part, and I really see a lot of impression creating rather than practical use these days.

Rant for the day, DONE!

An introduction...since everything usually needs one.

So here is an empty blog.






I find it pretty daunting to see a blank page (in a book, or web page) and always wonder what that blank page has in terms of potential. It could be a prelude, or something that serves as a transition medium. Yet, it could be left blank and still serve the same purpose as a well timed silence.
So much potential.

This is my attempt at exploiting that potential, or end up burning in the annals of blog hell history for under-utilization of such a powerful, or potentially powerful, medium of communication. This would be my little space in the expansive world of the internet.
