Me was hungry and Shombit suggested redE. When one says redE repeatedly, it sounds more like a south Indian Saravana-Bhavan-like chain. Bang opposite Shopper's Stop in Chennai is this neat place called redE. They have a strange layout for a restaurant, why, I am still to figure out. You descend down steps, into an air-conditioned hall, and begin to wonder if its a fastfood joint, cause there are no tables in sight. I was almost preparing to leave, figuring they have no seating, when Shom located the dining area to the right..

The chairs were not the sink-in types but I was drained and couldn't be bothered. We had just placed our order, when there was this sound of plastic blocks tumbling. The kids in the play area were having a blast tossing the super-light furniture all over the place. Shom noticed that it was a tiny little girl responsible for all the commotion. That one kid had enough energy to drain out the Bose™ music system in the background. She was also responsible for the terrorised look in all the little boys' eyes. We were able to enjoy dinner only after her Mum asked her to cool down.

I couldn't help laughing to myself.. remembering the British Airways Calendar campaign that went:
"All over the world, little boys hate little girls, and then they get married."

The day after, is V-day. tut tut.
