24 Comments

  1. love the neeta pawar !
    waiting for the Sushil bhai episodes

  2. Ah.. Mess.

    They later experimented with Chinese Idlis and that gooey camel balls or whatever it’s called.

    Kept the Khamasa guys in business throughout the year.

  3. Gooey camel balls?? what IS that??

  4. I think they call it Veg Manchurian.

  10. @Saad: haha, i always hated manchurian! now i know what really goes into it!
    @Viv: don’t I know that you and anirban were the only 2 fans of Pappu bhai’s food? always disappearing with the entire column of rotis!
    @ananya: yes, it’s sush & tina and that’s meant to be sundar not sharon! do you remember how different sundar looked in first year? and yes, you got rahuldas too :)

    The most discussed item on campus is mess food , anywhere, anyday. I can understand what a foodie like Soo feels !

  15. Great Blog; was always a fan of Soo’s pic-tales.
    However I am utterly greatful to Pappu bhai who pushed me to find solace with LaBella auntie, Intkaab bhai and Irfaan andawala bhai; and life was never the same again… how I miss them all now..

    I wish to congratulate Pappu Bhai for awarding me the ‘thinnest-look’ period of my life. I miss him, and his subtle art that helped me give up on food, no matter how deep fried it was.

  17. I am looking forward for the sushil bhai part!
