My Engineering days Part IV


I will write some general stuff this time around.

Being a localite morning breakfast was at home but lunch was at Canteen. We didn’t have so much options at Canteen either. During the tea break a mandatory one piece tea plus some Bajji or Bonda or Pakoda. One piece tea = 1 Re. Afternoon some rice item. (5 Rs). That’s it at college.

But evenings it was a different story. Gobi Manchuri had become the toast of the town and you had so many stalls which offered Gobi Manchuri, Fried Rice, Noodles. It had become a craze then. And we all used to have something or other on a sharing basis. “5 Half Gobi “ kodi :-) would be the order. And then we had our old traditional Masala Puri and Pani Puri at a different stall . And who can forget Samosa Chat. It was my favorite.

Hotel Guruprasad. The benne dosa at Guruprasad is too delicious and till date I haven’t come across any hotel which made it better. Every time I go to Mandya now visiting that Hotel and having the same is a must. Just can’t forget that..

And then occasionally there was Apurva Darshini. Typical Banglore fast food eating joint. It was good.

I am sure lot many would like to know how things went personally. Did I have any girl friend? Or did I like someone?

Well you will be disappointed to hear this. I had none. Frankly speaking I was too preoccupied with Cricket, outing with friends, family outings and this didn’t get priority whatsoever. I have no regrets regarding this.

Let me advise something on this. Friends don’t get into this love stuff during engineering. Its my sincere request. I have seen many of them falling into this and guess what the success rate is abysmally low and you will end up spending more time with your girl friend than with your friends. And trust me spending time with friends(not girl friend) is something which you cannot afford to miss. I have seen many during my days and even now that your major responsibility will end up becoming taking care of your love and ensuring she is happy all the time. And ensuring that a girl is happy is one hell of a task :-):-) Girls don’t take this too seriously. It’s a general observation. I hope nobody complains to Ministry of women development and lodge a complaint against me :-) One good thing is our previous minister Mrs. Renuka Chaudry is no more a minister :-) Just make everyone as your friend. Have a nice friendly relationship with one and all. Thats it.. Let "No love" be your mantra :-) :-)

Take care.. Rest in my next… Next two weeks will be very hectic. Have a National Conference coming up and then IGNITE. Being a Coordinator for both will ensure no blogging for next two weeks. :-)

Nothing at all can beat Mandya Masalapuri, Churumuri and benne dosa. I still remember sitting near stadium fence and waiting thirstily for 1/2 plate gobi!
I agree with you wholly on "no love" funda, but personally feel that one should have crush in those days as you had :-)

Wanna add one more thing here. There were times we used to share 1 piece tea! effectively 50ps per cup :-)
