Technologically challenged!!

Like the Cable guy in my grand parent's house, all electric appliances around me seem to hate me! Yeah my Music players, my phones, my pendrives, my Cameras, my Laptops, my hair driers and my biggest enemy, MICROSOFT WORD. Yes, Bitches ( you know who you are) I can hear you snigger already!

Here's an example of what happened very recently, we bought the VSFC jerseys, and decided to take photos in the mess with all the players, it was good fun, and I took some great shots! We come back to the Hostel, and another funny photo session ensued. After that I promptly run downstairs to Shraddha's room to get the USB, and after attaching the USB to my Laptop, I click to open the folder, an MS word which says the following, pops up!

"HAHAHAHA I AM VIRUS 'SOME CHINESE SOUNDING NAME', F*** YOU, ALL YOUR PHOTOS ARE GONE, HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Yes, it took me a full 5 minutes to figure out that all my photos were actually deleted, sucks right? Temme about it! My bad luck with multiple I pods, has resulted in my dad finally buying me a PHILLIPS MP3 player, this thankfully has last the longest till now. True Story.

All the 'GIZMO'TIC people in my class who talk torrents, incriptions, proxies, and other complicated stuff, scare the living daylights out of me! Makes me wonder, was I dead when they taught technology in school? Maybe, 'cause people say knowing shortcuts in MS WORD is common sense? how in the freaking hell can it be common sense? Sorry, I don't think so.

Surprisingly the only electronic thing that has not caused me any trouble till now is my blog, now I really don't want to explain why a blog qualifies as a technology, but, for the sake of some of my readers, who love to argue with me, here's how

LAPTOP =TECHNOLOGY

So anything that comes with a computer is a technology! My efforts to format my memo are to my friends as entertaining as probably watching RUSSELL PETERS on TV, yes, how they enjoy spreading the tales of my incapability to remove an underline to everyone the FREAKING see!! True Story, again! That Saturday morning is one I'd kill to forget!

It's like wherever I step electrical things are either dying or bursting into life. It's like when I am around, they have to show their displeasure in extremely dangerous ways! I mean like that time, where the elevator doors almost killed me, yes, they guard actually said, Madam they hardly ever close! Yes, it's me, I am more convinced than ever now!!

But then being the SUPER TECH wiz can also get very annoying to people around you, yeah like LAN clogging, and stuff like, however I choose not to comment on things I dunno about!

Also on the point of blogs, my college, now has its own version of Gossip Girl who has something to say about everything from teachers to students to the MESS WAR! It's all in good fun and makes for a good read and you can read it here. So carrying on the GG spirit its me Sneha signing off,

YOU KNOW YOU LOVE ME,

XOXO!

Cadby's ( I don't remember how it's spelt!)

Firstly I'd like to thank Roshni for telling me about this place, and more importantly the CHOCOLATE SHOT! Yes, it's mindblowing!!

So on a Wednesday evening Aditi and I set out to the city, and on the way decided to check out this place. It's on B-Road just off Children's Park are, hidden in a little lane full of computer shops. It's just next to the big DELL poster.

A walk through the glass doors reveals a nicely done up place. It has two floors, you can place your order and decide to sit either on the ground or upstairs. As we saw the menu, Aditi and I let out a gasp of  happiness ( ok can you gasp with happiness? No idea), there was chocolate everything! There was a section of food, a cadbys section, a thick shakes section and of course there were ice creams!

Food included the usual Pizzas, burgers, pastas and Sandwiches. Not a big range but you do have a choice. The thing that caught my eye was the CHOCOLATE SANDWICH and the CHOCOLATE GRILLED SANDWICH! However, as we were sure that this was only one of the many trips we would be making to this place, Aditi and I decided to order a Pizza. Imagine our surprise that when we ordered the lady at the counter said that there was a buy a pizza get one free offer! For two super hungry people that came as a welcome surprise. The Pizza was alright for the price, and it was pretty nicely flavored. Zara, who went there today says that the Special Garlic bread was awesome, and she suggest Chocolate CadB and White CabB.

We ordered the food, and went up the meandering stairs, and Lo and behold!there were big squishy and colorful bean bags and cute little chairs shaped like leaves and bright red flowers! I almost screamed in delight! I quickly settled myself in the squishiest and the biggest beanie. Yes, that was satisfaction. Sadly our delight was only momentary as we were soon joined by the Jodhpur version of Romeo and Juliet, and we quietly made our way down the spiral staircase.

You have to try the Cadby shakes, they are normal shakes but made with real cadbury! Yes, you can actually taste the Cadbury! There are various flavors like Hazel nut, Almond, Snicker Bar, Mint, etc. Aditi ordered a Hazel Nut Cadby and I went in for a Snicker Bar Cadby, and they were BRILLIANT! Nicely made, and very very very chocolatey.

There were other things like thick shakes of different flavors like strawberry chocolate, Coconut and White Chocolate, I think there was Kiwi and Chocolate, or maybe that was Passion Fruit. 

Now coming to my favorite thing of the evening, and believe me, all chocoholics out there, YOU HAVE TO TRY this : The much famed, chocolate shot. Comes in two variants the normal chocolate shot and the Ferrero shot, yes it does taste like Ferrero! To Chocolate!

You can also buy pretty chocolates there, and give them away as gifts, like we did! They come wrapped in really cute packets, and range from anywhere between 100 bucks to 120 bucks.

The overall experience was good, the ambiance was decent also.  We thought the order could have come faster considering it was self service and all. Maybe the time will improve as time passes by.The bill was really really low, came upto a 100 per person, true! The chocolate shakes and the Cadbys come in variants to small medium and large, you can choose whatever fits your tummy or your pocket! Your choice!! Go there if you like chocolate, go there if you are bored of the other regular NLU-haunts, and lastly go there if you are ABSOLUTELY JOBLESS!!

BURRRP!!!!!!
