I always feel uneasy in an elevator in the company of an unknown person, not persons. It's not that I am afraid or something, I just am uneasy. I do not stare at the person (Yeah right, try doing that and dial emergency after that.), I do not talk to myself, I do not tell myself "Don't worry he/she won't attack you". I just feel uneasy. And here I must admit, I am all the more uneasy if it's a girl in the elevator. All I do is either look down or keep looking at the elevator door, hoping the elevator moves faster. The worse thing is, the elevator in my office, its excruciatingly slow and the office is on the 5th floor (UK style. US Style it would be 6th). From the basement car parking? Make that 7th.
What are your thoughts? Do you feel comfortable in the company of a single stranger in an elevator? Do your thoughts remain pristine?
Are there any other things which make you uncomfortable? Do share your thoughts.
I own a couple of very small restaurants. This blog is intended to share some anecdotes from the journey so far and some hilarious experiences I have had. This is also a story from the "other side". A customer can review us from the outside on various forums. Some of the views are balanced and some not. Some have had genuine bad experiences and some, made up. But a restaurant management side rarely gets a chance to tell their side of the story. This is a let out for such feelings and thoughts too. I shall also try to share some recipes here. These would be practical recipes that one can make in a jiffy or at least on a short notice.
So heres wishing me all the best in this endeavour.
F-ftOS.

Hmmm, yes, I know what you mean about strangers in elevator. Too small a space to share with a stranger.
I get really uncomfortable. Shy.
Nice to know I am not alone in this world feeling uneasy about it.
I think the internet has done some positive things for human beings.
It has achieved what I call 'blogalisation'...sharing of thoughts, ideas, cultures, crossing so many borders.
Otherwise, we'd still be like people in elevators. Uneasy. Shy.
