If Julius Caesar had not spoken those famous words Veni, Vidi, Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered) after his victory over king Pharnaces of Potus in 47 BC, we doubt Latin would enjoy the cachet it does today among the literati.

Here are a few fine Latin expressions culled from the book Veni, Vidi, Vici by Eugene Ehrlich (second edition, revised and updated by Margaret A.Brucia).

* Vulgus ignobile – Low-born rabble

Example of use:

Going by the nature of their comments, more than a few readers of this fine blog surely come from the vulgus ignobile.

* Paucis verbis – In few words

Example of use:

We’ve repeatedly exhorted our readers to make their comments paucis verbis but some of them are boringly verbose.

* Filius nullius – Bastard

Example of use:

Our favorite abusive term for the hackers seeking to pull down this fine blog is filius nullius.

* Malus animus – Evil intent

Example of use:

Given what we know of human nature, we’re hardly surprised that many people bear malus animus towards us.

(A Public Service Blog Post)

OMG, OMG, Rats, mice, vermin and food contamination issues?

Chola NYC – Restaurant or Pig-Sty?
Say, is Chola NYC on E.58th St in Midtown Manhattan an Indian restaurant or a filthy pig-sty.

Folks, Rats, Mice, Vermin, Sewage and Food Contamination issues are some of the hygiene problems identified by the NYC Health Department on August 26, 2010 at Chola, the flagship Indian restaurant of Bollywood actor Shiva Natarajan in NYC and the favorite of Indian movie stars like Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai.

Do Hollywood stars Harrison Ford and Woody Allen also come to your Rat & Mice place oops Chola, Shiva?

Geez, Harrison Ford and Woody Allen would have a heart attack if only they knew how dirty Chola is!

Chola NYC – Dirty, Really Dirty
Guys, if we’ve said it once we’ve said it a million times – Bollywood actor Shiva Natarajan is irresponsibly careless when it comes to hygiene at his NYC restaurants.

Repeatedly, Shiva’s Indian restaurants get pulled up by the NYC Health Dept. over evidence of rats, mice, roaches and other serious hygiene issues.

In the latest instance, the New York City Department of Health and Hygiene has put out a highly damaging report on Shiva’s Chola Indian restaurant that gives it a massive 40 violation points.

And the report is so damaging that Chola and Shiva Natarajan are both in deep shit.

Here are the Sanitary Violations Highlighted by the NYC Health Dept (Critical violations marked by Health Dept. in Red color):

1) Raw, cooked or prepared food is adulterated, contaminated, cross-contaminated, or not discarded in accordance with HACCP plan.
2) Evidence of rats or live rats present in facility’s food and/or non-food areas.
3) Evidence of mice or live mice present in facility’s food and/or non-food areas.
