Ex calls you out of the blue and asks for a major favor. How inclined would you be to help him/her out?

Re: So your

lol, Baluchi's is over rated; well at least i think their standard has fallen over the years. I just discovered a newish place called "A Desi Diner" on 31st bet. Madison and Fifth. They have desi stlye omlette parhata. I'm in heaven. :D

It depends on how the relationship ended and what the request is.

If I don't have any negative feelings left for them, and am pretty sure that I am not still in love with them, and the thing isn't THAT huge - something I can do, then I would.

If above conditions are met, I would deal with that request like I would handle a friend's request.

Okay, I think I hate you! I want some desi style omelette paratha!

CM, I think you should do it:)!

Re: So your

Depends on the favour.

Re: So your

err...this is not a real life situation. It came up from watching TV.

Re: So your

Sounds about right. Like the majority of life1 threads:D

Ever been to Curry in a hurry?

I have never been to a desi restaurant in teh city.....I stick to Bukhari on Coney Island :D

partyslims · July 23, 2010, 6:11pm

hehe I know .. I was craving it for the longest time. I had even called some of the chat pata pakistani places in little india here but none of em do breakfast as such. Oh and this desi diner also has some pretty good nimbu pani. Karachi bohot yaad ara raha hay. :(

partyslims · July 23, 2010, 6:16pm

Long time ago. I'd rather go to Haandi or Lahori Kabab (formerly Niamat Kadhi) for more authentic dishes like nihari, kababs, etc. But I can't eat it too often because my tummy can't handle the spices :o

Syraa · July 23, 2010, 6:17pm

Depends on the favour, I wouldn’t mind helping as long as the request was reasonable.

Omellete and Paratha?! Combined?! How comes I’ve never heard of this before?

Re: So your

Can depend upon what that major favor is and how major it is for you. Is it doable or not?

Can depend upon your ex's personality. If he/she is someone who creates drama...can't be trusted...or takes unfair advantage of others....then I imagine one may less inclined to help.

For some...the decision to help may even depend upon your own feelings for your ex. If you feel you still have an emotional attachment to someone whom you know is not good for you.....it can either lead you to getting involved OR not getting involved. If you parted peacefully...or if you felt angry/hurt due to the former relationship.....these thing may impact your decision.

It it's that hard to reach a decision...toss a coin.
