Chocolate Mousse:When I was in high school, I loved recess. Come on who didn't? Its a chance to get away from the regular boring classes. The usual obedient show' we put up on, will be broken in split second upon hearing the bell sound! We were allowed to run around like a maniac and act like a complete idiot for 45 minutes:):)
Every day, there were so many kind of fun options...goals' that need to be achieved quickly – the playground games, sneaking out to the nearby stores, meeting up at assembly hall for that loud noisy chat, I’d overwhelmingly join in any sort of group activity to pull other people's legs (invariably teasing anyone that passes by) Well, by doing so...we earned a title '
Worst Batch, Ever'...anyhoooo, nothing bothered us - duh.
The fun part is, every once in a while we would plunder our classmates lunch boxes!!! I know, I know we were such a shameless Kiddos back then, but for 14-16 year old, it was lot of fun. I have to tell you that the food tasting part got crystallized in my memory better than the pythagorous theorem, ha ha:):)
Well,I vividly remember the taste of
Thayir Saadham and
Masal vadai from Siva Kumar's box, how Damodharan used to bring
Super-Spongy Idlies and Sathya Devi's Mom makes wonderful
Ultimate Pattani Kuruma. Besides, did I tell you this...many juniors (7-10th grade)used to rob my lunch box ,every single day!!! That is before 9'O clock, in the school bus itself! Giridhari specifically completes the
Lemon Rice without any mercy. Sometimes Harpreet would trade his
Pulkahs to eat rice, sweet huh:) Aarthi and Gayathri loved my Mommy's
Ellu Saadham so much, Naren, Suresh, Abdul Haleem, Harpreet, Vidhya Lakshi - hogged anything that I took:) Pavithra loved
Pongal and
Kotsu combo' a lot. Somehow, we never dined properly...but very satisfied:)
Did I tell you, I met my II grade classmate at orkut, which left me completely nostalgia:)
