Food for thought :-)
Posted by Namrata on August 24, 2006
The title is deceptive and you will know why pretty soon.This is not a discussion on some thought provoking issue neither is it about some burning social disorder.Its right there in the header.Its about food(well yeah I am a food freak)!!
Talking about food and can NBH-mess be far behind.Never in my life have I mouthed so many obscenities.I would take pride in calling myself a decent cook in comparison to the standards maintained by the people who cook in the NBH mess.They have quantity but there is a lot of compromise in terms of the quality.Well ingenious people have come up with out of the world ideas and rules to make the food of the mess in discussion “edible” but alas,most of them have bit the dust and with progress in time things have only worsened.What is irritating is the fact that the students shell out good money and what they get in return is second grade food(and I am being liberal in my words).Initially the food was something which no one paid attention too but when you are stayin at a place for a period of 4 years it hell makes a lot of difference and especially for people like me who love food!
I can recollect several instances where I felt like banging my plate on to the head of the manager so that it would knock some sense into his mind(the pun is intended).We do feel bad when we waste food but there is nothin much that can be done and this speaks voulumes about the taste of the items made.Inspite of all these things NBH mess has a special place in my heart.Right from cracking jokes on the food being served to the expressions that we have on our faces after tasting a dish – the way a few of us go about trying to identify what vegetable has been cooked to the comments on the quantity being served.I have spent many a happy moments there.We catch up on all the events of the day,obviously we do gossip 
– and then the icing on the cake is the fact that its a combined eatery.
So the moment a guy walks in or we observe somebody we exercise our vocal cords to the optimum.Its great fun as long as you are not the victim and unfortunately I have been the scapegoat on several occassions.All in all probably this is why inspite of all the negative factors and complaints we still eat in the NBH mess.
Its great fun to eat with friends and even the food takes the backseat then!!

food..mumma…i am all out in ur support…i spent 90% of my pocket money on food…becoz what we get in the mess…is worse than hell…when i ask of it to others..will support but no one is ready to revolt…and then i fall all alone…if u have some radicals plans…then i am there…to do what ever is expected…and even more…and besides….people do say that OBH mess is much better than NBH..so until we have any concrete step to take…u can eat there….but this is something we must look effectively into…3 more years…provided the kinda food … seems to be like ages….which is contrary to what is said about college life…”..college years…vanish in moments…”…

The banana smoothie template is nice, but i think it slightly overshadows the blog content ….you do write well, so we would want to have the focus on your words rather than the background
