Lunch !!

I wrote the whole post about the LUNCH and accidently deleted the whole thing, 




But I shall write again, that’s called the spirit. 

Yeah, so I am talking about LUNCH, note here, it’s not about FOOD, but about lunch.



I have no idea about the people in other countries but in INDIA, lunch is very important for different kind of people, depending upon their profession, actually I have seen a mail with pics of several labor sitting on the top of the building eating their lunch calmly, however if the slip a bit could end their lives immediately, so it must be important there as well.

Now, coming back to Indian lunch, in government offices, sub ordinates or peon brings the officers lunch ,and they eat at their cabins with some of their friends, co-workers, which also brings the lunch with different dishes and offers his/her boss to eat , no why it’s a total different matter, but yeah it is very important, . Now, they rate their wives or mothers about their lunch, quality, taste, ingredients.



Same way, labor people eat with their groups, shop keeper eats at his/her shop, so many examples



But I work in an IT company, I can tell you about an IT canteen, and the environment of canteen.

Starting from my level, almost all the IT employees lives away from home in some metro city, and experiences the variety of food issues, they miss ghar ka khana, mummy ka khana.

Some lives with the friends appointing a cook, some cook themselves and this is a very rare case, some eat canteen food, as IT appoints good vendors in the campus with variety of food, and on reasonable rates.

I also have started cooking myself because of health issues plus I am a pure vegetarian Brahmin and also I hate when somebody touching my food, you know strict hygiene issues.

At my level, my co-orders who lives away, first taking male co-workers doesn’t bring lunch because their cook only cook dinner, now they eat at canteen commenting on taste and quality of food and those who lives with parents doesn’t want to eat home food, ahh…. Know insane, but ok, only 1% of them bring lunch from home and which their friends eat.



Now talking the girl’s scenario, well, they can’t wake up in morning to prepare lunch, if they do; they spend the time in makeup- yes, true story!! ;-)

Long working hours makes them too tired to cook dinner also, again, they don’t cook themselves, however I know girls are supposed to cook, as it puts them on the top of the marriage material list, also they are most demanded. But to be realistic, mostly are on diet and eat fruits or salad, some share her friend’s lunch and some eat at canteen. But here who lives with their parents, they bring lunch with various dishes and shall offer you to eat as well.

Above this level comes the married employees, some doesn’t bring lunch, and I always wonder do they love their wives that much to get up in morning and cook for them, or is it wives doesn’t cook for them?

I see a SARDAR ji, who was going to oven with a big bag and he brings 6 boxes of lunch, everybody including me was trying to find out what he has in those boxes.

Almost all the married employees bring their lunch and sadly most of them don’t share with you. 

Some actually do, but you have to be friends with them and that is somewhat difficult.

A level above this is of top level employees for them 5 start hotels cooks and serves at office, yeah I know worthless to talk about them

Well, my office has 3 canteens, each with 2 floors, plus 3 small stalls from CCD, moongizines and one more vendor, still people have complains about it, at lunch, they order the item and looks at the one who is already eating.

SOuthindian curses about not having dosa and rasam at lunch, Marathi one about pav bhaji, north Indian about rajma and Punjabi about chicken.
