Those days of school Shenga Vattane Limlet
“Those days when I was in school were the most wonderful days of my life.”
This is a general statement which will fit for one and all. The scene in front of most schools hasn’t changed much with hawkers lined up outside the school gate. Nothing much has changed now either.
Take for instance the hawkers in front of St.Pauls and St.Joesphs or St.Xaviers. Many might say eating food on open is bad, agreed but tell me who did not eat at least once. Form Shenga (groundnuts) Lal Vattane, sweets and candies, tamarinds, Aavla to even Bhel and bahdang you get it all.
Mr.Santosh Purohit a foodie by himself is always encouraged to photograph food stuff that anything else and seeing the photos here it’s inevitable that this kind of eating habits haven’t changed. 
The photos have been clicked near St.Pauls when the Royston memorial football tournament is going on. All those away from Belgaum live you selves with those memories. Many elders make it a point to come to see such matches and relive those old moments.

Me too from St Mary's, I don't remember his exact name guess its 'Mainu' (the hawker), he was too famous among all students. Our school mam's use to scold us when found eating/buying something from hawkers. But my most cherished moment was eating those hot Shenga & Lal Vattane in mid of the pouring rain, ah! what a feeling it was. I really miss it. Thanks Uday for taking me back to those old good days.
I was in St Marys, we also had hawkers right outside our school with Guava, vatane and Avala… really these pics brought back good old memories.
