Goodies galore- what's the best?

>My first blog...dont know why so late although I love blogging...and for a natural blogger, the topic + the blog content come naturally...right now I just roamed around the campus and it stuck me that I love everything out here...so why not share...but share which aspect...let's blog :)

It started with a walk around the campus with a stopover for roadside tea. I suddenly realized I was so much at peace with myself, so much in love with the life@campus and so have taken it so much for granted as if "ghar ki murgi daal barabar" was coined for me.
So the dilemma- should I reflect on everything (generestically) or should I pick up just one facet? Let me start with one and see where I end up: I'll pick up "food" probably because I am so looking forward to a sumptuous breakfast!

I love good food and eating as many times a day as it is provided to me. Breakfast at 8 am is a tad late for me. Why me, it would be late for anybody if you get to eat different stuff every day. Y'day I had 4 parathas enamored with butter + chana subzi + toast with jam & butter followed by a cup of tea & a cup of coffee. I do not like porridge and I missed boiled eggs (which I was told had been deliberately pulled off menu for egg-curry preparation later in the day). Day before I enjoyed Masala Dosa filled with as much masala as butter + cereals + eggs + toast-jam; coffee after breakfast is of course customary. I do not think I have had Chhole-Bhature this week == I just hope I get to eat that today (and that 1 day I missed breakfast was not the C-B day).

Coming back to the missing eggs. I do not recall what other 2 preparations I passed off during yday's lunch because I just stuffed my plate(s) with roti-chaawal-egg curry-daal-dahi-papad-soup-achaar-salad finally topping off with papita. I sometimes used to wonder why some people crib about food when they consume equally, if not more. And I discovered my answer during y'day lunch === if you keep eating the way I do four times a day without any breaks, your stomach is bound to give up; and as with everything else, you'll blame everything / everybody but self :)
Post lunch we had classes (yes, on Sunday also). Three sessions peppered with 2 rounds of biscuit-tea followed by evening snacks. The item I like the least - some call it pakore, other bhajji. And so I did what I find amusing - crib. "Why pakorey, why pakorey" karte karte I ended up consuming multiple plates and still did not gave up my cup of coffee although my stomach advised otherwise.
2 hours of break brought me back to normal good times - the dinner. On a whim, I just juggled the eating order and started with garam-garam halwa. All laced with dry fruits (kaaju and kishmish only) and dripping in fat - why blame me if I overate. But then I had to have my dinner (mummy ne bola hai ki khaana kabhi skip nahi karna). So back to normal course: start with soup, move on to roti-daal-sabzi-dahi-papad-achaar and for once do not have the sweet dish :(

Hello, that's it for all the eating y'day - we are extremely disciplined and do not officially eat at odd hours. Now that was an account of our mess facilities on supposedly-least-delicious-food day of the week (Sunday). I look forward to the mutton n chicken n paneer n samosa n of course chhole-bhaturey days...boiled egg / omelet I anyway eat daily.

Oh so did I not tell you anything about the vast green campus which gets perennially beautified? Some other time maybe except for a line of caution: You'll get addicted to the greenery and the vast tract of open space around you - even a sworn non-exerciser like me roams around the campus (gimme some credit for morning walk, will you).

Anything else? Yes but maybe for next time - I need to go get my clothes from the washing machine and then perhaps head for breakfast (still not 8 am).

...I'm loving it...
