The article ends with the restaurants hours.

I asked Niyama Kapadia, son of the late Anil and a hostess at Chowpatti, about the review.

We got, you know, news from North Shore Magazine that we were voted the number one restaurant, she explained. And we were so happy about it. We were excited, and it was like, you know? And [] we were very busy after that, you know?

He must have come in, she went on, and just like any customer comes, you know, we treat any customer with a lot of love and respect. [] He wanted this meatless stew without the green peas. So, I explained to him that, you know, the batch is already made; I cant remove the peas from that. But then I suggested other items that might not have peas.

But he wasnt happy from that moment, I think.

And then [] eventually, you know, he added a bread like, I had suggested that he orders an Indian bread to accompany his curry dish. He didnt listen to me. And then, during his meal, he decided to order a bread.

Then I told him, you know, it will take some time. But hes like, No, I want to eat it with this food. And his ticket went at the end of the line. I mean, you know, when were busy, its busy, which is my mom and my sister cooking back there, and my dad and myself used to handle the floor.

So, the bread got to his table a little bit later, and I think he was upset about that.

She continued, When he wanted his food wrapped up, we provide containers. Were short-handed; its just a small fam so, we provide containers, and we allow the customers to pack their meals.

He didnt like that.

Most reviewers dont tell us, but he came on the counter, and you know, my dad always asks when he goes to the tables, and he always asks, How was your experience? Did you enjoy your meal? I hope we see you again.And he said, That waitress you have there you need to fire her.He was like, What are you talking about? What? What? [] And he wanted to make sure if it was, like, my sister or me, who hes talking about. And so, my dad said, Tell me what happened. You know, Let me try to correct it.So, he told that she was so arrogant, she didnt want to remove the peas from my meal. I told her, I dont mind. I want her to make the meatless stew without peas.He insisted he wanted my dad to insure him that my dad would fire me.

And my dad said, you know, You dont understand. Shes my daughter. [] And somehow its hard for me to believe that my daughter was rude to you.And thats it. So, Mr. Dale said to my dad, So, youre trying to tell me you dont believe me? And my dad said, No, dont get me wrong. Its just hard for me to believe that my daughter was rude to any customer. Not you. [] And fortunately, we had a few regulars that were sitting next to him. And so theyThen Mr. Dale became loud. [] The other customer that was sitting next to them got up and said that, you know, We were here throughout the dinner and [] no, Anil, your daughter was behaving very nicely with him. You know, Just like she behaves with everybody.And he said, You watch you watch the review I write you.So, my dads like, Write whatever you want.So, he wrote a nasty You know, in the article, he says, Wear catchers mask, because the waitress w Ugh!

And then my dad put it on every table. [] Whatever story we get written up, he would make small copies, and then

She tapped on a piece of plastic.

these would go on every table, you know? And, so what happened is, even with that negative write-up, my dad put it on every table. And Im like, Dad! Why are Hes writing mean things about me! How couldAnd my dad said, No, no. Just because we got something negative, that doesnt mean were going to hide it from people. You have to learn to take criticism.And I said, But dad, he was so wrong. [] I was young, and I was mad, and Im like, How dare he write something like that?My dad said, t worry.He put it on every table. I could not believe it.

Well, what happened is, our loyal customers read it, and on their own, they wrote to the magazine. Some customers are like, ve been dining here for 12 years. Somebody would say, ve been dining here since five years. We werent here that evening, but we know this cant be true. We know the family so well. Its not possible.So, the editor of the magazine contacted my father. And he said [] I have a stack full of letters, and you know, re all saying something negative about my reviewer, Mr. Dale.Yeah. So, the owner of the magazine contacted my dad, apologized to my dad, and said, Maybe he had an off day, you know. Hes like, It cant be possible that so many letters are wrong. So, hes like, I think my reviewer had a [] off moment, and maybe he didnt like your daughter. I dont know what happened. But, you know, I cant go back and erase, because that was already printed. But what I will do for you is I will print some of those letters.So my dad said, See? It always pays off to be honest. You know, Never hide.We never asked our customers to do that.

At this point, a man entered the restaurant. It was 4 p.m., and Niyanta, who was standing behind the front counter, greeted him.

Hi, how are you? she said.

Do you serve now? he asked.

m sorry, she replied in a sweet voice. ll re-open at 5 oOkay. Thats what I saw outside.Yes. Sorry about that.

Niyanta continued: So, yeah. From that point on, I knew that my dad was right about so many things.

A more-recent review of the restaurant, by Marla Seidell in The Daily Herald last month (a different article than the one hangining on the wall), had this to say about Kipadia: Niyanta made for a gracious server, host and owner rolled into one. She expertly fielded our finicky eater's many questions, and made suggestions that pleased all.

Different people; different times. Different experiences.

troubled strategy and command. Seeming backpeddling and soft-shoeing on the threats from Iran and
North Korea, though following closer to the liberals playbook, didnt earn him support from liberals or conservatives.
The debate among conservatives and libertarians after this election is likely to grow much more heated, whether McCain wins or loses.
Although conservatives have stood most strongly behind McCain, conservatives do not expect much thanks or loyalty from McCain if he wins, and do expect McCain to continue his practice of alliance with many liberal proposals, as he has in the past. That alone will add heat the pot. On the other hand, conservatives will welcome his Trumanesque temper and bluntness replying to the likely continuation of intemperate Democrats in the Congress.
If McCain loses, conservatives will likely place most of the blame on him and his campaign for failing to take more advantage of Obamas coterie of radical mentors, to alert more voters of their dangers.
At the same time, in defense of McCains campaign approach, those most likely to hold these associations as important are aware of them. Meanwhile, in a campaign during which the overwhelming portion of the major media have utterly failed to research or expose Obamas lack of record and record of shady allies, McCain would likely not have gotten much further in educating the wider public.
So, McCain has concentrated on trying to woo marginal voters. Those non-partisans react more to appearances and mood.
McCain earned none of the points he should have for trying to tackle the credit-economic meltdown, even by comparison to Obamas passivity. Neither did McCain draw attention to the Congress tainted hands in creating it, but there are many Republican members who sat by and prospered from the false sense of well-being that preceded the deluge. McCain did not throw the Congressional Republicans under the bus, as Obama repeatedly did every time a mentor was exposed. And, McCain did exhibit a bully optimism in reacting to the meltdown and focused on quick actions.
It is that indefatigable optimism and sense of fair play that has been highlighted and redounded to his credit. This is in line with his military and political record of bravely meeting challenges. Despite every odd, McCain has fought the election to a near thing.
Conservatives must recognize that, for any of McCain or his campaigns failings, it is among conservatives that reform must come. Much of our NY-DC commentariat are corrupted by overlong proximity to comfortable power and cocktail circuits, exhibiting callowness, lethargy or outright capitulation. Their lack of principle and intestinal fortitude must be replaced. Much of our bloggers have been consumed by editorializing and not organizing. The think-tanks we built and many major donors have been cringing or avoiding confrontation. Rank and file conservatives mostly looked to this inadequate leadership instead of to ourselves to step forward and fight.
It will take a major overhaul to revive the conservative movement. As in 1964, it will not come from the establishment, but must depend on openness to new participants and leaders. Of course, that does not mean fringe elements or ideas. The crucial role that National Review played post-1964 in guarding against that will require a new central forum of conservative sanity and principle.
No one can predict where they will come from. But they must be encouraged, welcomed and supported when they appear.

DISCLAIMER: This is a totally boring post, but I'm just getting out a little aggravation about budget travel...read at your own risk...

Hello from the Windy City. I'm looking out of my hotel room right now at the grand majesty of Lake Michigan. I can see a portion of it between other buildings and construction sites, and past a major highway.

I grew up on a Great Lake (Ontario) so I'm used to lake being too big to be able to see the other side. When I moved downstate to Rockland County, their lakes were pretty, but they were what we called ponds. Seriously, Long Pond was bigger than the lakes in my new hometown.

Anyway - now that you have the context that I'm traveling, let me tell you about rental car agencies here. When you find a rate on expedia that is HALF all other going rates, be suspicious. And if you've never heard of the agency before, be even more suspicious. But in today's economy, we're all trying to save a little dough, right? So when I saw most agencies wanted $200 for a weekend car rental and one wanted only $73.75...I jumped on it.

To be fair, the car was fine - clean, well maintained, low mileage, hyundai. Finding the car was another matter. We stood on the sidewalk outside the airport for 20 minutes and watched the rental car shuttles go by, Avis, Budget, Thrifty, Hertz, Enterprise, National, then Avis, Budget, Thrifty, Hertz, Enterprise, National again...then Avis, Budget, Thrifty, Hertz..."Excuse Me...," I finally asked, "is this where Advantage picks up as well?"

"Well...yes...eventually...but you may have to flag him down."

Um. Ok.

Avis, Budget, Thrifty, Hertz.....

I get on the phone and get Advantage Rentals on the line..."oh yeah, look for the Fast Trak blue and yellow shuttle, that's ours." (how the hell was I supposed to know that??)

Finally we spot the blue and yellow shuttle barrelling by and not even dreaming of looking for a stranded rental client on the sidewalk. We wave madly and the cop feels sorry enough for us to stop traffic and allow us to get on the shuttle in an illegal loading zone.

Once on, we meet other customers who had been waiting for over an hour...so I guess 25-30 minutes wasn't so bad.

Filled to the brim, the shuttle lumbers into a dark parking lot with "Avi-Star" signs. I spot a tiny blue placard for Advantage rentals in the corner. We head into the building passing a bunch of lounging strange looking young men, under a blinking (think Joe Vs. Volcano) fluorescent lights, and up to the line at to the counter where two very nice but fairly slow people are handing out keys to cars...fast forward 45 minutes and we finally have our vehicle.

Returning the car wasn't much better - and once again the shuttle bus was the big sticking point. After taking about 35 minutes to return the car (which consists of handing in keys and having them check gas guage and mileage - should take about 3 minutes flat) we then walked out of the dingy little shack to see the shuttle pulling away...

We had to wait another 15 minutes for the next shuttle bus to arrive and although we had been left in the dust, this next driver seemed determined to wait for every possible person who was just pulling in to get checked out and get on the bus. Hubby and I were plenty early for our connection, so we weren't too bad off, but I thought the woman in the Chanel knockoff sunglasses was going to have a full out hissy fit at one point while her husband made snide remarks about this aggravation not being worth th $100 they saved not going with Avis. (He took the words out of my mouth.) While we waited, we dug out $2 for a tip for the driver for hauling our suitcases...but by the time we left a new driver had taken his place.

After the driver missed the United stop off (until screaming bus passengers made him pull over) we diligently reminded him of our Continental stop. Hubby, who is always quieter in his complaints, mumbled as we disembarked, "I'm keeping my 2 dollars."

I left Hubby at airport for him to fly on home, while I stayed on in Chicago for my conference. My taxi to the hotel cost $40 but the door to door service was totally worth it. Of course, the company is paying for this part, so it is easier to let the dollars flow.

I'm now ensconced in my room with a view, chomping on pretzel and diet pepsi from the Mini-bar - yeah - that should run me another $20...but you get what you pay for, right.
