the hottest desi girls i have seen are pakistani, hottest in the looks department of course indian girls score much more when it comes to conversational hotness

There is one undeniable truth - girls are just incredibly expensive to maintain !!!!!  >:( >:(

Psst. The trick is to not pay for everything yourself.  ;D
The art is to do this without appearing cheap  ;D ;D
-P

PS: I hope you meant "girlfriend" when you said "girl" -- "maintaining girls" (as opposed to women) is likely a felony, depending on the semantics of "maintain".
brilliant  ;D ;D from the prfsr of pimpology

You would say so Mr cheapskate Lahore-Tikka-House-customer. Take your "friend" to Goldfish on Bloor and Spadina a few times and then decide how good my advice is.

 ;D ;D

-P

PS: For people who don't know this is an extremely good restaurant where it is hard to eat for less than a 100 bucks a person, and the tab can easily go much higher with nice drinks.

such places are out of my league... :'( :'(
a great place for a romantic evening is Panorama in the Manulife Center (Bay and Bloor). Its on the 51st floor with a view of the whole city. Drinks might be $10-15 or even more but its worth it

Fineleg,
I got married *before* I came to North America.  But just so that you know, I did NOT pay for my dinner at Goldfish --  my employers paid for it, not a woman :)

what's all this? i think we should not spurn traditions just coz it does not suit one's pocket. i strongly believe and insist that the age-old tradition of men paying for everything shd remain now and forever. any deviations from that, i will protest!

So how does it makes sense, in this age where women work and make money, for the guy to pay ? Back in the day women didnt earn, so it was the guy who had to pay. Now ??

we are talking about having a dinner and from what i am learning about men here, it seems the presence of a female within 10 miles radius is enough for the energy to go from 0 to 60 in a jiffy. *shrug*

don't blame me! thazwatzbeen said around here.

ACtually it has been buzzing in the Blogosphere for quite a while. ( well maybe US centric DESI blogs). Even Sepia Mutiny had a post on it.

hahaha, Gawker got hold of the daal shortage news. Hilarity ensues !!

http://goose-egg.blogspot.com/2006/07/some-bad-news.html

......Remember, March is a long way off. In between there is Thanksgiving and turkey stuffed with dal, Christmas with the dalnog and boy, let's not forget the Superbowl dal shots. Halftime this year will be tinged with sadness. There will be rice, but where, oh where will be the dal?

i like sweets with less sweetness (if that makes sense!). 

Precisely, the best sweets are the ones with almost no sweetness..just a hint of it.

IMHO, the only place in India where the have mastered the "art of making good desserts" is Kolkatta. Sandesh, misthi dohi, assorted katlis - Kaju, badam, pista; the RajBhog..I can go on. They get it.

No rosogollah? Cue for CP to send death threats to LN.

No, I do not think Calcutta is the only place -- far from it. Try Rabadi in most places in Calcutta - it is a pale shadow of North India. It is true though that Bengalis consume an obscene amount of sweets. So everything is fresh and tasty. I think with mixing of communities, there are more and more North Indian sweets replacing traditional Bengali sweets. Mishti Doi is a dying art and is not served at weddings anymore.

Actually the menu at Bengali weddings looks more and more North Indian these days. Not necessarily traditional North Indian, but street food as well.

-P
Of course, Rosogollah, Chum Chum are obvious ones..

but to your point about Rabadi in Kolkata, of course specific items are done well in specific places .. Rabadi (Meerut and Benares), Petha (Agra), Gajak/Til Papdi(Gwalior), Ghevar(Jaipur), Peda(Mathura), Mysore Pak(Chennai), Mava Bati/Kachori(Jodhpur), Lavang Lata(Benares), Phini(Hyderabad), Semiya(Hyderabad),  Chikki(Lonavala/Khandala), Sohan Halwa(Ajmer), Moti Choor ke Laddoo(Jaisalmer), <add to this list>
..no one can match the quality and variety of Kolkata (BTw, I am not from there!).
