Just saying Hi!

Hey, all! 




I am Karan. I've just started this blog to ramble about the things that pique my interest.

So. You might see a blog about a restaurant that I went to, or you might read something about a video game I played, or you might stumble upon why I scream VEETAAMEEEEN whenever I go out in the sun, or something maybe even more stupid, like how 1 cup of coffee is too little, but 2 cups are too much. 

I will also use this space to write about myself, my life decisions, my plans for the future, and all other things that keep my tiny brain humming.

I hope I end up wasting a good few minutes of your life while you click around. :)

The waiter came out and asked everyone to step in and wait inside, and after a short 15 min wait, we got our table! Then I saw the menu.  Oh my word, it was perfect. It just had 3 items in it. ...

How do I rate a restaurant?

I love going to restaurants.

When at the end of it all, I am asked to give the restaurant a rating out of 5, then I am left thinking. I hesitate to give a 5/5, a 4/5, or anything. Was it really a 5 out of 5? The food was great, but it was way too expensive, or maybe too loud, or something else made you hesitate to give it that perfect rating. Alright, here's what I decided to do - Rate all those experiences individually.  Menu Service Taste Environment Ambiance Value Menu How good is the menu? Are there items on it that shouldn't be there? How many...
