Dreams of a Mess Sec

Dreams of soft pooris, papad, raita, lassi, scrumptious uttapam, kachumbar (salad), achar (pickles) are uncommon in H1.

UG and his cycle heading back to H4, dog near the NCC building, once upon a time there was a NCC canteen serving chinese food after 10, frequented by Tamta and Mondal.

Once a sprawling nursery of Subba, now just a bunch of trees - no Subba, no saplings.

Hostel 1, H1, IITB, Mumbai/Bombay, INDIA

Phots from H1, IIT, Bombay, INDIA.

H1 is also known as the "Queen of the Campus",
with spacious rooms, loungue, and a TV room.
Every graduate students dreams.
Some sit and watch TV all day, some
read the newspapers, some play carrom, but
all eat in the Mess and Canteen and
are working on a problem for their PhD.

Varghese could make an omlette to end all omlettes
in H1 Canteen.

The last wing boasted of a Garden and
a Nursery run by Subba Raju, full of
Saplings to be planted on the H1 and H4 Hills.

Some remember a hostel by the "Ficus Hispida" (tall fig) tree
in the last wing, frequented by bats in the evening.
The "Wild Badam" tree, whose leaves
turn red in autumn, and a giant Banyan tree
in the cycle stand. Behind the hostel was
the H1 hill, there grew "Toddy Palm Trees".

Outside the Hostel was the giant canopy of a "Rain Tree"
providing shade to the sundry and a old mochi.

Then opposite the gate was a Jackfruit tree,
and a Breadfruit tree,
No one, never did see any bread fruit on it though.
The Kanchans, Gul Mohor and Copper Pods lined the
road outside the hostel, which I am
sure you will see in these photos.

These are some of my favourite trees.
