There are 3 saving graces in IMT... Through the day its our dear Panchu Bhai and his maggi... Well supported by Rahul and Giridhar Bhaiya and their unlimited stock of juices and cold coffee...
Once its evening its the turn of my Coop and its wonderful cups of coffee... Cups after cups and you can never get bored of it....
But the winner, the mega prize winner is that lifeline from the canteen, our very own desi chai.... One of the greatest memories of IMT and something that i am going to miss the most is that cup of desi chai.... The chai which stands by you through every weather or mood
Be it those treacherous days of Marketing cases or those days of Milestone or Runbhoomi.... Be it those days when you are out having a romantic walk with your beloved or just ur leg pulling session with your friends... None of them could ever be complete without that cup of tea....
Even sitting in different hostels, google talks would go pinging "Chai??" Ya buddy, y not... And the perfect complimentary to the chai would be an aloo pyaz paratha, fried eggs or the veg cheeze sandwich... Whatever the order, chai toh saath honi hi hai...
If not satisfied with one cup, have another, followed by another... With Hemraj standing at the counter, the canteen was always in a chaos but the chai was worth the wait....
The days when the milk would get over or the LPG cylinder would be out of gas and the chai wouldnt be available, guys would walk out of the canteen as if a girl had rejected their marriage proposal... Such is the pyaar for chai, a simple cup of chai...
Just minutes back i had my last 2 cups of desi chai and tomorrow as i leave IMT forever, amongst all other things, something that i will miss daily would be the desi chai... As the clock would strike 2- 2.30am my heart would crave for the chai but that taste, the thrill, the feeling will never be replicated... the feeling of running to the canteen to have desi chai....
I will miss u Desi Chai... Love u forever....
too good sir..
