i feel the problem with the restaurant is that they themself don't trust the only dish they serve . Because if they were happy they would have not went and wrote on the board that the main dish in the menu has change...now its paneer matar...paneer mushroom etc etc... ..after every month...just to fool the customers...to attract customers...that shows paneer palak isn't attracting customers to their shop...that somewhere shows there business suffers when there is just palak paneer there .

Exactly... N since they r nt sure abt their own dishes hw can they expect d customers 2 accept all d dishes...evn they knw dat palak paneer alone cannot sustain their restaurant hence they r trying out new dishes 2 hv larger gains...:)

So much dhamaka on the forum today!! So since the other thread is closed temporarily 😭, I will wait for it to re-open or be closed off before commenting I suppose.

But I'll just say a few things here...In my short time on this forum, I will whole-heatedly accept that I have been outspoken (some say sarcastic...maybe) about the characters, content of HD, and the logic that is used to blindly justify characters. Thru my remarks, I try to see if I can bring out the inconsistencies that are present in many of the arguments that are made. I will not apologize for trying to be fair and consistent in my logic and expecting others to do the same.

But I will also whole-heartedly declare, that there has not been a single instance on this forum, when I have degraded an actor personally for their looks/personality/popularity/lack of popularity (if someone thinks to the contrary, please show me the post and I'll be more than willing to apologize).

Regarding the whole thing about "freedom of speech," yes absolutely people have the right to express what they feel. But let me give you an example (since I am a foodie, it'll be a foodie analogy 😆).

I absolutely detest Spinach. Never liked it, never will. Paneer on the other hand, I can never get enough of! So lets suppose there was a restaurant that served only spinach/paneer (palak paneer).

Now what do you think I should do? On the one hand, I detest spinach and can't stand the taste, but on the other hand, I love love love paneer.

Should I go the restaurant every time, sit down at the table, order the dish, and just separate the panneer out and enjoy it and leave everyone else alone to enjoy the palak paneer. Seems like a fair and mature way to solve the problem.

Or should I go to the restaurant everytime and go around to everyone who is enjoying the palak paneer and say:: hey I hate spinach, I hate how it looks, I hate how it tastes, I wish the restaurant combined the paneer with aloo instead. Yes my freedom of speech allows me to go around and say this a million times over, every time I go to that restaurant. But is this what I should do?

Or maybe the restaurant comes up with a new dish...Matar paneer...should I go to the restaurant and just enjoy the matar paneer...or should I go and make it a point to everyone and say...hey this matar is so much better than the "green stuff" people like to eat...and make indirect statements to put spinach down?

And last but not the least, if someone asks me about how I like the food at the restaurant, do you think I can give a fair assessment if the only thing I like and eat is the paneer and not the whole dish that is served by the restaurant? Wouldn't it be fair to just say...hey I like the paneer they serve...don't know about the spinach. Or should I say, the paneer is great...but the spinach...its so bland, undercooked, and green!

I know this is a super dumb analogy but hopefully it clears up the confusion. Here' the truth though..I love palak paneer 😆I don't have a problem with people who don't like palak or paneer, they are free to come to the restaurant and enjoy the part that they like, but please don't come to the restaurant and make it a point to go around everytime! and tell everyone that you hate the palak or the paneer. I already know that you don't like it (from the first time I met you at the restaurant), so why repeat it everytime? Why ruin the fun for me?

That is all I am asking. If someone finds anything offensive in this post, please let me know and I will edit it asap!

Yes people have the right to go to this restaurant everyday where people are enjoying palak paneer, sit in the center of the restaurant, and say things like: I hate palak, palak tastes gross, palak tates even worse with paneer, palak is the most bland food ever and on days they serve matar paneer, people also have the right to go to the restaurant and say things like "Is restaurant mein pehli baar kuch dhang ka khane to mila hai." Yes people have the absolute right to say all these things. But the question here is not if we can do it, the question is should we do it.

but you know if they decide to stick to their dish...and were very strict that its just palak paneer restaurant...have it or leave it ...than people would have not actually asked for matar paneer at the first place . They them self need to be confident on their dish .Their business will never decrease...because people who love paneer exceptionally will have to come there for it and will bear palak for it . And palak paneer lovers can enjoy it very nicely . By giving wrong hopes again and again for matar paneer...the restaurant people are ruining the fun of the customers who like palak paneer not the customers who love matar paneer .

Well, all I will say is that the direction this thread has taken basically proves my point. Nowhere in my post, nor in any of my replies, did I put down palak or paneer or even aloo or matar. I said I respected people's right to like matar paneer and aloo paneer and I didn't say anything to the contrary to put down matar or aloo.

Regarding my previous thread, I apologize to anyone who was offended by my comments and will be more mindful of what I write next time.

@bold:And is it right for palak or palak-paneer lovers to make hue and cry when paneer is served with other items?😕 Is it right to make remarks about mater when paneer lovers want to enjoy mater-paneer? I never see you questioning those palak lovers who do so.

bold - You know i hated illa bedi for using the ss word in the show...but i hated it more when our forum members made a joke out of it...weren't we serious enough when we were opposing it . Was it all a joke ...was it something on which one should joke ...ss...the only thing left to joke about and that too when the thread was not at all about it ?What was it...that bhoot and all...sorry but i had to say it...i felt really bad reading all that...and i wasn't expecting that from a forum who stood erect against illa for doing it to hd ...

Sweetheart...the problem is actually some customers like me can't live without paneer...and thus we are force to join it...we love paneer more than anything . But i actually will not keep o saying that i hate palak or something like that...but i will be someone ...that with palak even if someday...palak leaf tasted a little better than before because sheff changed the style of cooking...or its from some different season or something like that ...i will appreciate it... ...but if i will be asked by close ones about how is palak paneer normally ...if i am not impressed ...my comments will reflect that .

i am sorry to say that ur post won't solve any issues happening lately in the forum.But since u have taken efforts to make this post,I would like to reply my POV .

A resturant can't survive on serving its customers only Palak Paneer.Owners try a large variety of dishes like Mutter Paner,Aloo Paneer,Panner Butter Masala etc etc so tht they can cater a larger group of customers.
And even owners knew that not all their customers like palak Paneer combination.May be 10% of their total customers are only liking it,so ultimately they have to bring other combinations.If they stick to Palak paneer only 10% of their customers will visit their shop resulting in loses.Even 10% percent not always like to eat Palak Paneer bcoz after some time it becomes boring and monotonous.Change is needed every where.
So owners will face loses .Not a loss for owners but its a loss for Palak too.They bring so much of Palak people are not interested.Its becomes waste.It will be useless.Its gets dried within a day.If food is cooked with such leaves,customers throw it away no matter how much they love Palak.
Panner is diff than palak.There are 1001 varities u can make out of panner.they come out fantastically well.But thats not the case with Palak.So owners and chefs trust Paneer more than Palak.Same with the restuarent owner also .Even though he loves Palak,he can't trust it completely like how he can rely on Panner.He can't trust in palak bcoz 90% of his customers show dis interest in it.He cannot always think abt 10% of customers.After all everything is business .
A mere customer feelings are imp only to an extent of time.After that owners see to their business development.If they stick to palak they business dnt develop.So then comes the more Paneer varities so that they can attract new customers,new business,new profits.
