Last Saturday we decided to go out and explore the area a bit and so we went to a mall called the Irvine Spectrum. The mall was beautiful, with enough shops to gaze at for a whole day. Here are a few pictures
After a nice afternoon outing, we were back in the hotel by 5. We watched a movie and decided to order dinner from a near by Indian place. I picked up the hotel land line (which requires me to dial 0 to call outside). I dialed zero and then the restaurant's number. A guy picked up, and I in my hurry to place the order did not pay attention to what he said. I went on to say, "I would like to place a pick up order." He replied, "What would you like to pick up?" That still did not ring any bells in my head and I went on, "One chicken tikka masala please," and he said, "Are you sure you have the right number for ordering food, this is Danny from the front desk." I immediately said a very embarrassed "Sorry" and hung up. My husband, who did not understand what had happened, broke out laughing as soon as I explained.
The laughing continued for a while after which we realized that we still had not ordered food. To avoid making the same mistake again, this time I called from my mobile and as I was ordering, I couldn't hold my giggling!!! Well as some screenplay writer once said, "bade bade deshon mein aisi choti choti baatein hothi rehthi hain!!!" (such little things keep happening in big countries)
