Once upon a time, a wife was looking for an venue for husband's birthday dinner. She and her daughter were eagerly looking forward to the night. Dilemma was that she didn't know where to head out as she wanted to dine in a new place close to Sydney City and wanted a lavish Indian supper.
She consulted her friends and put faith in their suggestion by booking a table at Delhi By The Way.
On the birthday evening, both husband and wife got back from office, picked their daughter from day care and walked in the restaurant. They selected a place close to the fireplace as it was warm and cosy. It provided the much needed respite from the cold wind outside.
Everything was going as the wife wished - good food, relaxed ambience and her daughter was busy colouring the fairy picture given to her by the wait staff, which allowed some time with her husband.
Suddenly, she realized that she seems to have missed the Birthday Cake! Oh God, now it was too late since they had finished their main course and all near-by bakeries were closed. She rushed to the waitress standing at the counter and asked her to do 'something'. The waitress smiled and reassured her that it will be taken care of - the Indian way.
Soon, their main course plates were cleared and dessert plates were put on the table. Both daughter and husband were surprised and wife prayed that this "surprise" better turn out to be good.
The Manager and the waitress emerged from the kitchen with a Birthday candle sparkler mounted on Kulfi (Indian ice cream) and Gulab Jamun - the perfect Indian desserts to satisfy the sweet tooth. The dining hall filled with "Happy Birthday" chorus and wife took a relief sigh - the night was ending well.
Post relishing the desserts, the family went back with wonderful memories and of course, a fairy picture - now perfectly coloured :)
See you tonight.
