how to order a pasta....

So here goes... I decided to order dinner... however all the indian fod joints in hiranandani are pretty mundane and i was really bored of the indian cuisine taste... so i decided to look for a pasta.... something out of the ordinary....there's a new pizza joint here which i really like... they r v good and their breadsticks are to die for... a true gourmand's delight..... so i call up the number

a young voice in a sing song tome picks up and goes welcome to pa... may i offer u te --- pizza....
im like what!!!! no i want to order a pasta...
so this chappie say hello maam.... may i have your number please....
me yes it 292 ....... (like im going to give away my phone number on the net...basically i gave him my phone number...
and he's like can i have ur name ... i give him my name and then shocker of shcoker..... can i call you back!!!!!!!!!!!!which pizza place calls the customer back for their order.... i mean wat was that????? so im like sure... (i was too confused to respond in any othert way...)

i wait for 3 mins... no my phones not ringing yet.... so me being the extremely nice natured person that i am call them back...(or maybe i just dfont know when to give up...)

me... hi i would like to order your pasta.
waiter( wat do u call the guys who take your order over the phone?) yes maam,,...
me: would you like to take down my phone number now?
waiter..: yes maam.. just a second... abbe pen de na...
me ( grinning... im loving this experience...) ok... so my number is (my phn number)
waiter and your name maam???
me:

waiter: yes kshitija maam ( im like wow... this is cool... i thought only school teacjers were addressed in this manner...)


then believe it or not a second dude picks up the phone...( they were all just dying to speak to me on the phone u see...)

second waiter... thanks for holding kshitija maam....
me: thts ok... can i order a pasta?

3rd w: its v busy today maam...(sunday)
me : oh ok...(???????????? these people need to train their staff on how to speak to customers.... if it hadnt been my good sense of humour they would have lost out on my hard earned 250 rs...)
