When I was a kid there was one pass time muse for me...especially when I was traveling...I would look out for shops with a name that caught my fancy...and also wonder what I'd name my own shop...
Haven't been at it for quite sometime now...but yesterday, as I was on my way back home from my sister's place...I saw this kutti mess kind of an eat out...it was called:
Mr. Idly, Mrs. Sambhar
(!!!!!!!)
(!!!!!!!)
Isn't that cute????!!!!!???? I thought it was...:))
There are other such names...like "Rendu Idly, Oru Vadai"
"Mummy Daddy"
"Hotel Caliphornia" (near Madurai!!!)
"Gay Travels" (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Kirtilal Kalidas or Kritilal Kalidas???
It was for a long long time, till a very embarrassing time, "Kritical Kalidas"(Pronounced: Critical Kalidas :P) I dunno why...but that's how I read it the first time I saw the board...and it stayed that way in my head till on fine day I mentioned the place (as Critical Kalidas!!!!) to someone, and that person after bein clueless fr sometime...went HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! :| :D
It was very, VERY embarassing!!!!!! :P
Anyways...there are certain other names that put me off...like
"Mangal & Mangal" in Trichy
"Joy Alukkas" in everywhere :|
"Limes or Melons?" (a juice shop I dunno where)
"ChicKing"
"Jency Audios" (not Audio :|)
"Jyothik Pharmacy" (near ma house)
I dunno why these names put me off...but I jus cant pass by them without smirking!!! :D
So, if you know such funny, disgusting, crazy names of shops....you must lemme know!!!! :D
Pseudo-nerd loves the name "Mr.Idly, Mrs. Sambhar" :)

Been to sperm, never went into gilma though ... there's also another place called midnight masala (at trustpuram / liberty... not sure where, or somewhere in between)
Shit!!!! Midnight Masala!!!!!!!!!! how did I forget to mention that place!!!!!! :DDD Yeah...I ve seen it...I thnk their "patronage" has grown so much that they ve made some upgradation to their exteriors!!! :D
And U ve bin to Sperm??? Hw s the stuff??? Gud/ok/sidey???
sperm, the store is good, the atmosphere is OK, and the manager said, that he always got this line "what a name / what's with the name, or some question about the name of the shop"...
the clothes are what I'd call semi casual or casual, and on the class scale - i'd give it a 4 or 5 out of 10!
Hey...i like the sound o this place Sperm!!! ;D
Maybe the next time I need to go clothes shoppin for a guy I ll get some Spermy clothes fr him ;p :D
