Hey! Heard the latest?
PAARTH JOSHI
At any college campus, the centre of gravity is always located around the canteen and its gravitational pull is greater than the pull exerted by all staff members put together. All students flock to the place for a bite and to pass time chatting about hazaar issues. AT eavesdrops to find out what brews over a steaming cup of chai
Aditi Tembe, a psychology student at MSU loves chatting with her class mates in the canteen. “The other day we discussed about how many kids we all wanted. A friend’s interest in numerology sparked the topic, after some mischievous calculations she told us our fate as mothers,” laughs Tembe. Sometimes, Tembe and her friends also pass time singing Shirdi wale Sai baba… in the corridors, mind you, while other classes might be going on.
Aakar Desai, an engineering student and his friends were found involved in a major discussion about whether SRK could be gay. “Music is the most talked about topic. Recently we debated on how students want meaningful lyrics in songs, like the one Sutta na mila has,” says Desai. If he’s to be believed, some important amount of time is already being invested at the canteen to write such songs.
Giving music a miss, Aparna Jejurkar, student of an aviation institute says she chats with classmates about her experience at the training sessions. “We talk about how snooty customers behave and how to deal with them,” says Jejurkar. But some things never change. “Serious talk is of course replaced by the secrets at work place, who is having an affair with whom and who controls the power lobby,” admits Jejurkar. For Nikhil Doshi, a student at NID, canteen is the best place to work on some detailing. “Our conversations range over a number of topics, from bitching about teachers to exchanging important details about hot chics,” says Doshi. “Recently we had an elaborate session on why Indian movies have to look up to Oscars to be classified as good films,” he adds.
Even for Roona Contractor, a St Xaviers student, movies rule the roost. “All of us were heart broken when we heard rumours about Abhishek and Aishwarya,” says Contractor, “we generally avoid talking about serious issues but then our conversations also involve topics like whether Indian religious customs and traditions are relevant and whether we should abide by them.” Indeed, a lot happens over tea.
