New Year Blooper

Januray 1st 2010 has become a memory now. Started the new year well, went for the morning show of the movie 'Chattambinadu', a comedy movie worth watching. After that had lunch and rested for sometime and went to Kovalam in the evening. We started the foto session first, and after that my friends started playing in the sea, i was watching all these from the shore and taking a few snaps. After couple of shots, the camera showed the indicator battery low and it turned off. Having nothing else to do i just roamed around there to buy batteries. At last got it from one of the shops and it cost Rs 80 for AA batteries :( . Before going back we thought of having some good seafood. The guy in the restaurant explained to us that they have a full fish 'Para' for Rs 400 and they will give it to us in pieces. We ordered "neymeen" and was expecting the same rate with it. He said it will take sometime and so asked us to order something else as starter. We ordered Prawn as a starter. The food was delicious and once we got the bill, we understood that what he said and what we understood was entirely different. The bill was Rs.2440/-. We paid the bill and he happily wished us goodnight and asked us to come back again, and we made our new year resolution - Not to have food from Kovalam again without knowing the exact price list.
