A fun read from Hong Kong!
 Just in case you find it a strain to read the piece that appeared in  the South China Morning Post ( shall we call it the Times of India of  the region? ), there is  also a link to the journo's blog at the end of  this post
Last  night, friends had a strange experience at a swish new Bandra  restaurant called 'Bungalow 9' , when they handed over their car keys to  the valet who offered to park their car. When they finished dinner and  emerged from the restaurant, they were told their keys were missing! One  of the ladies from the small group is at an advanced stage of  pregnancy.... twenty minutes of standing on the footpath later, it was  decided she should be dropped home by cab and the spare set of keys to  their car procured from the owner's flat in South Mumbai! It doesn't end  here.... a stranger called 'Bungalow 9' much later to say someone  else's car keys were in his car! How did they get there?? After all this  inconvenience, the poor pregnant lady suffered some more and was sure  she was going to deliver prematurely the same night ( turned out to be a  mild case of food poisoning - to add further insult to injury). Am  interested to know how someone in New York would have handled a similar  situation. I'd say the aggrieved customers would have phoned their  lawyers and sued the restaurant for mental and physical trauma.  Justifiably so.
 Seems like we have become a country of Lame Ducks!  Don't worry, Manmohanji... you are not alone..... you have company! Lots  of it!!!!
