Biography 113: One day at tiffin time


 Our school gives free snacks during break time. We had 30 minutes break every day. We called it tiffin time. We had a kitchen at the end of the building. We have a chef to cook snacks for us and lunch for our headmistress. The chef was a great cook. We liked his food very much. I heard people use to hire him on big occasions to cook (Like marriage ceremonies, birthdays etc). He cooked a meal on our final picnic day at the end of school life. It was amazing.

Every day we use to have different kinds of food. Like luchi (pan fry tortilla) and halwa (sweet dish), luchi and bhaji (mixed vegetables), Lucchi and bundia (another kind of sweet), bun bread and banana etc.

One day after a long vacation they give us only bun bread and it was cold. Nothing with it to eat. We really became angry, about how a person can eat like this. Then we saw from grade 10 (The most senior batch of the school) throw all buns on the field. 40/50 crows jump into it to collect it. Our class took the dish and returned it to the kitchen/teacher's room. The khala (Helping hand in the school) get angry and ask, from which class you came. On those days we were in grade 08 or 09. But Falguny (One of our classmates) didn't want to put us in trouble, so she said, "Grade 10!" and left.
