You
clear one of the toughest entrance exams of the world and what fodder
are you served, the ‘daal’ barely spiced, the ‘aaloo’ hardly peeled, the
‘shimla-mirch’ which astonishingly makes way into every other dish and
the salad which seldom makes ghastly appearances in the mess menu.
Welcome to the ‘mess’ed up life of IIT.
We IITians no doubt can change the world and bring about the next revolution provided we survive the mess of the mess.
The breakfast has good edibles enlisted may be due to a reason because for IITians 10 minutes of sleep is more lovable than the Noodles, Pasta or the Parathas served in the morning. For lunch and dinner fried rice is the only refuge.
The mess people have provided a solution to the dreadful memories of the food’s taste, the ‘saunf-cheeni’ counter.
The canteen on the other hand is the polar opposite of the mess. After 12 midnight big and small ‘mehfils’ are summoned in the canteen for minor ‘chapos’ (1) which go on late till 2 or 3 am before people think about completing assignments or sleeping.
(1) Chapo – Chapo is the IIT term for a minor party. Chapo is the portmanteau of Chai and Pakoda.
