Lunch at Vapiano! I have fallen in love with the Pastas at this place
We had a person, Alex, from the Zurich office with us today. With him, some of us went to a nice dinner place called The Urban Kitchen, whose branches can also be found in India but in a totally different avatar. I am not sure if it is the same chain, but the font style of the name was definitely the same.
We talked a lot about weddings and customs in our countries. Teased Ankit a little on him being engaged. Alex put forth a true point, which all of us know but unknowingly deny to accept. All customs in weddings tend to signify the fact that the bride's ownership is being handed over from her father to the groom. In Christians, walking down the aisle with the father is an example. In Germany, traditionally, the groom has to formally ask for the bride's hand from her father. Not that he would say no or something in today's generation, it's more of a formality now-a days, but still exists. In India, the concept of Kanyadan... same. I got to know another interesting fact as to why sea food is considered vegetarian in some countries. In Christianity, people are forbidden to to eat meat on Fridays, so they manage with sea food. Anyways, I ate veg pasta.
We experienced a 'German After Work party'. Huge dance floor, some people with glasses in their hands, and moving in the name of dancing. Had grown very stuffy inside there due to the number of ppl. It was fun dancing with Carol and Steffi and Milly. The party happens every Wednesday at a place called the Living, starts at 6PM and lasts upto midnight.
