Mirch Masala...

One of the most redeeming features about the city of Ahmedabad has always been its food joints. The variety and the quality of food more than made up for the mess that we had in the name of a mess at IIMA.

For all the foodies at IIMA, Mirch Masala is a very familiar name and a source of immense joy and satisfaction. It is one of the better places serving Indian cuisine.

Last evening (Thursday!!), went there for dinner after at least 5 and a half years with my colleague, Manish, who's also an IIMA grad. The place seemed the same as ever with the same interior decor with dialogues from films, caricatures and paintings of actors and movie posters, etc. We ordered food like we hadn’t eaten in days.. papdi chat, masala papad, sabzis, dal. And to end the feast were some hot, melting gulab-jamuns!!! Needless to say, ate like pigs!!

We even remembered to take the chhota lozenge type toffee that they give post the meal and had multiple of each.

Reminded us of the times when after a hard or a frust day on campus, we would go across to CG Road to Mirch Masala or Tomatoes or Topaz and reward ourselves with some delicious, yet not very expensive food.

Felt nice coming back..
