I read a recent review on the ''makeover'' of this restaurant, which is part of Abbott Hotel in Vashi. Those who are not from Vashi or new to the place , I am going to being at the beginning so you can understand why I went there at all.
The story began...

There are not two ways about it. The commentators at Sony Max would receive a unanimous vote for being the real losers at the grand cricket finale. And no, it is not Mandira Bedi who is at fault. The woman was merely responsible for ''presenting'' a commentary show; not giving a ringside view fr...Read more

The first'story books' I read were the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales.
I had a soft spot for stories that transported me to a completely different milieu. With talking mirrors and wolves in grandma's clothes. Or, better still things that I felt sure would be easy to find if I really really wante...Read more

Amway, marketers of SA8, say it is an organic detergent. They say, you can even wash plants with the left over wash water since it is not harmful.
I've seen the product in action and am sold on their pitch. It dissolves dirt and grime easily and doesn't need heavy scrubbing for stain removal....Read more

*Sigh*
This is exactly the kind of confrontation I hate: When I know the rip off artiste can claim to have been 'inspired' by someone.
As for your puerile assertions of leaving the books in Kerala etc., you have quoted Dogbert amply 'from memory.'
You may find imitation the most sincere fo...rm of flattery I don't.
The style doesn't become you.
You are not another Scott Adams.
While you might not have copied stuff verbatim, you have ripped off almost all of his concepts.
You are NOT paying Scott Adams a compliment by admitting that there maybe 'similar sarcastic impressions from them.' The lapses in prose (evident in all your other genuine pieces as well) are simply too glaring for any attempt at 'inspired' wit.
I generally do not find fault with informal pieces in sites like these. But, since your aim is lofty, I am compelled to let you know that it is sadly off the mark.
Note:
1) MS is forum for expressing one's OWN opinion. Not that of Scott Adams or anybody else's.
2) Don't use borrowed wit. Or, if you do, DO NOT intersperse (read smut) it with your own leanings. Gutter 'humour' is best left to sleazy Bollywood 'comedians'.
The above comment is with reference to stuff like: 'laptop (secretary)'
3) By not asking you to justify, I meant DO NOT answer the question 'Why do you people rip off stuff?'.
4) Rotten apples in your basket of rip offs: 'I don’t accept Nobel Prize'
Please refer to a good source for sound grammar lessons and don't ask me to explain what's wrong with that sentence.
After having heard me out -- if you have a shred of dignity left -- take off this offending piece instead of shamelessly trying to corner me into pointing out which of the commas and stops you ripped :-PRead More

Most of the stuff on meetings is plagiarised from Dilbert's 'management' books. I thought you were a genuine article. Really disappointed to discover you were a fake. Why do you people feel compelled to rip off stuff like this? And No. Don't answer that or justify please.

Caveat: The review you are about to read is bound by severe limitations since:
I am not familiar with other gyms or other branches of Talwalkars.
So the concerns expressed here are restricted to the Vashi branch. I can't offer personal comparisons with other gyms in terms of price or other...Read more

I understand that you really really like the movie. So I'll spare you the caustic comments.
Just straightening out few things since you had the gall to smear my pages with your puerile views:
1) Some of my friends did get up and walk out of the movie despite your assurances.
2) For your i...nformation the whole nation is not gripped by any Bollywood fever.
3) Garrish costumes and huge sets do not maketh a movie.
Another thing, if you did not understand what I said please refer to a dictionary and for the record:
a) There is no need to abuse the language I use for your lack of comprehension.
b) What do you know about movie making? Before pointing a finger at me tell me many movies have you made?

Movies like Devdas bring out the vituperative best in me. While ripping it apart one of my friends quipped, 'It should've been called ''Paro and Chandramukhi,'' not Devdas!'
Despite itself, the lesbian sounding title ''Paro aur Chandramukhi'' would do better justice to the film. 'Coz then, on...Read more
