Since my sojourn in mumbai is coming to an end, I wanted to explore as much as possible before leaving this place. As a part of this urge to guzzle and glut, we (dock, karthik, loyya, myself) wanted to checkout sundance bar & restaurant which has an offer on some beer (a pint free with every pint you pay for). Despite working late yesterday I had all the energy and enthu to visit this place.
So there we are, 3 drunkards and one veggie teetotler (loyya) in the sundance. Since that place is otherwise expensive for food we decided to just have drinks and survive on the complimentary peanuts till we finish our drinks. The plan is to eat out in another place. But all of us had beers on empty stumochs and it hit us immediately and before we know we all are laughing and really feeling high.
Loyya works near sundance and he said he can take us to a cheap eatout. We walked with him till flora fountain. We were basically interested in some veggie place. Suddenly someone saw a place called Ankur Restaurant. Some one suggested that it might be a proper gujarati restaurant. We walked in boldly and broke the first rule of eating outs (that is, if you dont know, never enter an AC Restaurant). Once we got the menu cards we realised what a bomb it will cost us to eat there. The prices made us sober. 😀
After eating out there we walked upto nariman point to have the biscuit ice cream. It was 11:30 by then. A cab back to mackichan hall and I am on the bed by 12.
Thats the story of costliest beer I ever had (even though I had it only twice :D).
Tada!
PS: If you ever want to eat at Ankur (its in the road behind Fountain Sizzlers) try murgh patiala. It tastes amazing.

Ciao Hui,
Collecting Excel tricks under the title “Notable Excel Websites (Non-MVP) Edition” is a brilliant idea…
Thank you in the name of all The FrankensTeam.
On our site there is a box with a picture and text highlighting:
This is a no-MVP site
we think ourselves “bad boys” a bit 🙂
For those who would like to know why our site is a no-MVP site, enough to click on the link:

Thank you again!
Thanks a lot
I really enjoyed this (newsletter). I must admit that I rarely read an Excel newsletter (and I subscribe to quite a few) all the way though, but this grabbed my attention and before I realized it, I was engrossed in it. I must also admit that most of this I don’t understand, yet. But, it excites me when I do learn something new in Excel. I can’t wait to see how much of this I can implement into my (constantly-evolving) ‘House Budget’ & ‘Family Medical’ worksheets that I have developed over the past few years! I sure hope to see more of these type of newsletters in the future! Thanks!
Thanks for doing this Hui! I appreciate being included.
I like Tom’s tip a lot. I posted about a tool I wrote to automate this at http://yoursumbuddy.com/tables-edit-query-dialog/
EXCELLENT !
Hui, This post is Superb! More over I have always been a fan of Roberto’s work and have learnt a lot from him.

I like the Excel Ninja Menus.
1. Select a cell or range then move till the 4-way cross appears. Right-Click and drag the selection to another place in the worksheet then, like a ninja, a menu full of skills and throwing stars pops up allowing me to do all kinds of awesomeness.
2. When you click the fill box on a Date and right click and drag it down, a lot of amazing Date options pop up.
I also brand my Excel to remind myself that I’m awesome. In my personal macro workbook I place the following code.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Caption = “SuperKrishna’s Awesomeness”
End Sub
My favorite tip goes along with #17. If you try to copy subtotaled data (and in earlier Excel versions filtered data),when you paste it all the data displays instead of just the summarized data.
To get around this, select your summarized data, click on Find and Select tab and then select Go to Special. Click Visible cells Only and click OK. Now paste and you will see that only the summarized data has been copied.
You can also go CTRL+G and then click the Special icon at the bottom of the dialog box.
What a great idea, Chandoo! I’d love to be included in your next edition:) Perhaps a VBA exclusive version?
@Ryan
I will review this concept about 6 months out from the original post and be sure to keep your site in mind
Hui…
That sounds great, Hui:) I just realized I gave credit to Chandoo for the idea and I should have attributed it to you.
Sorry about that!
