Around 3 in the morning, I was sitting with my laptop and wondering what to write about. I had written my blog on Prem Gali ( food-street of KU ) earlier but couldn't post it as Sadaf (my class-fellow) had already penned down nearly everything that I had written, in her blog.
I had to find a new topic. And there, I felt a little hungry. I needed something to munch on while writing, and there came the thought. The bite-sized samosa's of KU !
The mere thought of them made my mouth watery. The bite-sized samosa's of KU are available in most of the canteens but are famous from the canteen in front of the main cafeteria. They make them fresh and hot.
The best thing about these samosa's is this that they are very cheap to buy. You get to have 6 of them at only Rs.10 (you get 5, if you add masala, at the same price).
I remember the day when I first met them (my delicious Samosa's). We had four consecutive classes that day and we had hurriedly come to Sociology department, walking all the way from Mass Communication department.
It was around 5:30 PM and the weather was hot. We were all tired, thirsty and hungry. There was a Canteen right next to the Sociology department.
We rushed to the canteen to eat a snack. And there I first saw them. They looked so tiny and I almost laughed looking at them. I also remember thinking whether they are hygienic to eat or not. You see, we were new at the university and didn’t know much.
The first bite of them made me realize how good they taste. And from then on, I often eat the bite-sized samosa's.
Another good thing which I got to know about these samosa's is this that you can also buy them frozen (not fried). You can take them home for a party or simply to have them at tea.
My family and my cousins now often make me bring samosa's home for them. They love it too. If you belong to KU, and you have never tasted these samosa's, you have missed the best thing of this place!
Loved your blog. It made me feel hungry as well. You are right, the samosa's of KU are exceptionally good and tasty. and one associated with KU should definitely try them.
ReplyDeletevery true ...i simply love the bit size samosas of KU.
ReplyDeletei had them almost everyday this summer....delicious...
its amazing to see how much you guys enjoy eating....every other blog is about food...be it tea, juice, biryani, samosa... ...most of the blogs are criticizing to system and appreciating the food...
Very descriptive.....and now i really want to try these samosas
ReplyDeleteyou described the samosas so well that now i really need to try them!!!!...:)

I love bite-sized everything.
ReplyDeleteThey're the best thing made EVER.
Specially samosas.. I am glad you talked about these. The minced meat bite sized arent as good as the ones which have daal or channa and with properly concocted sauce/masala its definitely amazing.

ReplyDeleteI have the same experience as yours, but i dont think so that they r that much cooler that u r writing blog on it. These samosas but there is a room for perfection. Value for money is there thats why v like it and thats it.
ReplyDeletegud job aiman.i luv the way u have described the tiny bite samosas.they look so tempting in the pics that the next tym when i'll b coming to KU i'll surely try them out..or may b you can get them frozen for me...wow thats so convenient ...this is gr8...gud job...well done

ReplyDeleteWonderful blog!!! Aiman, my mouth is watering. The next time you go to KU bring a dozen samosas for me too. :)
ReplyDeletei read it again n again n again..in da angle of a total critic..but i jus could not find nythin missin:D
ReplyDeletegreat goin:D
oh n samoses rule:D
Your vivid description creates a fragrance, an aroma which is magnetic and feel like flying to KU and eat those somasas till we feel dead. These somasas can be compared to a beloved whose everything is par excellence and the only difference is that normally we do not bite them.I can visualize frequent " somasas dates" at KU.
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful creative writer , full of innovative thoughts and rich imagination. What is your share in marketing these somasas with the skills of a seasoned advertiser ? Probably from now onwards you will get free somasas.
Thank God u didnt write this blog during Ramazan otherwise it would have been difficult for me to wait till iftaar :p ...well good job done...i will definitely visit KU once to eat these BITE SIZE samosaz :) ...good luck!

ReplyDeleteIt seems an interesting topic. You have indeed managed to play with imagination, especially with those pictres. Your writing skills leave a lot to be desired though. Try to be more analytical and not lean on one side. You can add something about the flies in a creative manner giving the reader a more comprehensive look. It is also critical that at University level, you should know when and where to use comma, semicolon etc. When writing a blog like this, in my humble and 'naive' opinion, one should not indulge in this manner of idiosyncrasy. Kindly learn how to write/elaborate your point of view in a more esthetic way. The way you have written this, is unfortunately, a very ebonic/slang style, as if you are in a casual conversation.
