Missing the canteen culture of Madras!

The canteen culture has not taken root at the mandalis in Bangalore.
Much unlike those in Madras during the December season where sabhas compete even on the standards of their canteens!

The only one we noticed was the one at Fort High School for the Sree Ramaseva Mandali's fest.
But this year's food joint is just not good.

The large family which has set up shop isn't even ready with the snacks when rasikas check into the campus. All they can offer is biscuits and chips, some dry food and watery tea/coffee.

Last evening, a dozen people grabbed the hot bondas before running off to catch Sanjay Subrahmanyam. "At least these are hot!", said one rasika who made a grab.

The cooks take their time to get a bajji or a Mangalore bonda ready. The family seems to exist in its own, cool world. But rasikas seem to want better snacks here.
On Sunday night, the hosts lined up dinner for Founder's Day. Was it special? We'd like to hear from you!
