Yeah. It was fine. Didn't interrupt the experience of the other people in the audience.
But I heard a news from Mumbai that they day it was released there, in one of the theaters, they had to pause the movie because the whistling and hooting were not stopping lol xD

Yeah it's really good actually. You should try it at least once if you have any Indian sweet shop/restaurants nearby.

Lol having to pause the movie is such a rare thing! That's amazing!

I checked one of the local restaurants near me and they seem to have it! They also have Kheer, Kulfi, and some Mango Ice cream on their dessert menu.

Yeah! xD

Awesome!! Then you shouldn't wait much. Warning: You might get addicted 😛 . Btw how are they priced? Expensive or they're fine? Can you tell me how much they are charging for gulab jamun? I can compare with the price here and tell you hehe

It's 4.95 USD here for a serving of the gulab jamun, but not sure how much comes in one serving from them!

The kheer is 5.95, Kulfi is 6.95, and the mango ice cream is 6.95.

Seems expensive to me. xD In India, two big gulab jamuns, like the ones shown in the pic, cost about 0.7 USD. Anyways, it's expected to be costly there. You can give it a try someday and let me know how you feel about it hehe. 😊

In comparison to other dessert prices in general here it's about the same lol. They have to compete with other restaurants of course, and the costs of having to have a restaurant here might be more expensive as well - it's rough! I'll try and give it a shot maybe in the coming month!

Exactly! It's all about business at the end of the day hehe. Sure! I'll be looking forward to your feedback. 😛

So how are you feeling about Monday coming close to you with every passing second? xD

I don't feel too bad about it yet. I am about to eat an early lunch here at home. After that I need to look at my week plans for work, and then do some laundry D:

What about you? I know it's getting late there!

Oh that's good to hear minus the laundry part. 😆

I'll be on leave on Monday. It's actually a VUL (Voluntary Unpaid Leave). The company needs help in making some adjustments in its finance, so the employees are helping in it by taking 5 days of unpaid leaves during Aug-Sept. I've chosen to take leave on every Monday of 5 back to back weeks. Which is why I'm gonna have long weekends 😁

Yes! Lol... I'm not fond of the idea of laundry, but luckily I don't have as much as I had last week!

Oh that's unfortunate that they are needing assistance in finances, but it is nice you'll have an extra day off! Hopefully that doesn't effect paychecks too much... Especially if it is just 5 days! Yay for extended weekends!!!

Yeah ikr. It's painful for me as well. I stay in a PG room. It's like a room in a building for which I pay monthly. So, here they have 2 washing machines only. So, I've to keep an eye on the machines. The moment they get free, I should put mine before someone else does. xD I chose not to do my laundry during the weekend. I'll do on Monday when everyone will be off to work.

Yeah. It's better than lay-offs at least. 😅 And yeah! It's not at all impacting me negatively. I'm quite happy because of the extended weekends. But people who have lots of EMIs to pay are a bit concerned.

Ah that sounds slightly annoying to do laundry then! Luckily it's just my husband and I who need the washer, I just hate the time it can take. It's smart to do yours on Monday though!!

Very true - it's better than layoffs. Glad it won't impact you at all. Hopefully those that need those days can maybe find a different form of work for a few of them - however I know that even that can be difficult!

Does it take lot of time? I get mine done within 1.5 hours max. 😅

Yeah it is difficult. Anyway given the flexibility to take any 5 days of the 2 months helps them balance a bit I feel. They can split their leaves in 2 months. Like 3 days in Aug, 2 in Sept or something like that.

Our dog has been hospitalized due to kidney failure. There's a 50/50 chance that she'll make it or not.

Hello members of AJ

Our dog has been hospitalized due to kidney failure. There's a 50/50 chance that she'll make it or not.

Ochhhhh, not good news at all... Just ahve to think positive

 

[Cory]

Ochhhhh, not good news at all... Just ahve to think positive

Thinking positively is always a good thing, but I'm really afraid her time may have come. She's had cancer, multiple surgeries, and kidney failure. Her kidney levels are above the chart right now, the highest they've ever been. She hasn't eaten food for almost a week, she's barely drunk water, and she's been vomiting consistently. She's looking pretty rough overall. She's a tough pup, but she's getting old, to say the least.

Will there be a surgery??

 

[Cedric]

Sorry to hear Cory, I know what's it like to lose a part of your family. I had to say goodbye to our dog after 10 years shortly after AJ was launched.

@Debashis @Cedric she’s passed on and is at peace now. She was put to sleep and euthanized right before our eyes.
