Food- that is what we all live for..

If you disagree then ask any hosteler living away from home. And if you still disagree then ask any north Indian trapped in the middle of Chennai that how much they crave for that illusive north Indian taste. By all standard our hostel food is not bad and have an assortment of Rice, Rasam, Curd, Dal (some black looking which sometimes they claim as Rajmah and sometime as Dal Makhni, funny thing is that you can't really make out what is what), Chapati/Parathas and vegetable (of all colours ranging from black to fluorescent). Well, no problems with the food but then it's the repetitive effect which has a killing impact on our appetite and we are surving on Gobhi manchurian and Parathas home delivered by local restaurant Crescent at 2 in the night. Instead of quenching our hunger this Manchurian thing also strengthen our craving for home food or for that north Indian taste.

I am writing this just to share the happiness of my soul and my stomach both after last two days of awesome food. First was at Rain Forest, a small theme restaurant in Adyar and second at Rajasthani Dhaba in Anna Nagar. Now, the fact that these 2 places are located in 2 different corners of Chennai strengthen this fact that for good food we are willing to do whatever it requires. Rain Forest has 100's of things on its menu and we poor veggie ordered Nan, Dal makhni & Kadhai Paneer hoping it to be decent (they made us wait for 45 minutes). But then, the food was worth it. Can't expect a better north Indian taste in Chennai. But then, another restaurant which is entirely different from Rain Forest (minimalistic in interiors and all they offer is good food) Rajasthani Dhaba offers you a selection of Rajasthani and north Indian dishes. We tried thali and though we were so full after some time we kept eating as if behaving like a camel in a desert who is not sure after how long they will see the same food.

So happy is our stomach and happy are we. Looking forward to another hectic week with classes, lectures, presentations and quizzes. God bless us.
