If you are one of the few who subscribes to the RSS feed of this blog, you just got notified about a new post that has nothing in it. Apologies. It’s just that having received the text message I’m going to share with you, I was all thumbs. It’s a mass sms sent out by Suhas Awchat, the owner of the restaurant and kitsch nightmare Goa Portuguesa. If you eat there, you get serenaded by tone deaf men in sombreros and Hawaiian/wannabe-Goan shirts; a look at Awchat’s guns (this is not a euphemism; he carries a gun around in order to add credibility to his claim of having served in the Indian army), and heartburn. The spacing and spelling of the sms have not been tampered with in order to respect the writer’s grammatical integrity.
