Those days of school Shenga Vattane Limlet

Jul 19, 2016 by Editor Jul 19, 2016 15 Comments

“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 many schools. 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. foodiefoodie-1foodie-2foodie-3foodie-4

All those away from Belagavi live you selves with those memories. Many elders make it a point to come to see such matches and relive those old moments.

    Mr.Santosh really u have touched a forgotten subject (Out of the box idea), me from St.Xaviers way back in 1985 (30 years) down the line, given the pocket money we had, these hawkers was the only option we had and we used to just feel satisfied with the eatable available. Ooops if those days were back…

    I’m a Paulite and I had the best part of my life watching matches. No matter where we live and what job we do in the world, every person reminisces their school days.

    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.
