it's monstrous, i tell you!
oh god.
i'm trying to document all the things i've eaten in the past week and it boggles the mind.
it all started with the commencement of group discussions at the loyola office. my usual day would consist of college from 8 to 1.30, then i'd be at loyola by 2, wherein GDs would take place until around 6, following which i would leave with soumya, eat and discuss the next day till about 8 and then go home.
tuesday, 6th feb
lunch with latha and soumya at galloping gooseberry, greams road. mozarella sticks for starters,
then i had a vegetable lasagne which i then swapped for soumya's spagehetti and cheeseballs, and then split a chocolate mousse cake [amazing, i might add]
wednesday passed in a blur of ice teas, chocolate biscuits and cup noodles at the loyola canteen.
thursday, 8th feb
i didn't have time for lunch, but later in the evening had a marrybrown burger with fries and the inevitable ice tea. oh, and two or three chocolate biscuits. oh, and chips, i think.
friday, 9th feb
we told ourselves that it would just be a drink, so we proceeded to a coffee shop that i shall not name owing to legalities like slander (or it it libel?) where i ordered the most vibrantly blue sundae possible - having been falsely encouraged to do so by that traitor latha. it was...very strange, to say the least, and i almost collapsed in my attempt to finish it, having first sniffed it by accident, and then lacing it with chocolate sauce that only turned it the vile colour of ditchwater. soumya stuck to a more restrained burger. then, to supposedly rid ourselves of the taste, we had french fries at sweet chariot and bonded over hundis and associated humour.
saturday, 10th feb
cup noodles, chocolate biscuits and ice tea again! and i'm sure we ate something in the evening after the group discussions but for the life of me, cannot recall.
sunday, 11th feb
a quiet breakfast at the loyola canteen amidst the crowds who apparently came to the loyola church. in the evening, we proceeded to galloping gooseberry and had cheese balls for starters, and then i had a rather nice cocktail cottage cheese pasta, followed obviously by a chocolate mousse cake which we split again. the day ended with me feeling unpleasantly full.
monday, 12th feb
this day was not one of our best. we decided we wanted to end the day with a healthy cup of juice. i sneered at the suggestion of the little juice shop near the petrol bunk. so we coerced arjun into dropping us at the juice shop on greams road. i cast a few longing glances at GG but thankfully, our pockets wouldn't allow us to enter. had a sugar-laced lemon juice that only served the purpose of getting me extremely high on sugar, which in turn started me off on very pathetic jokes that prompted me into peals of laughter, though had i been sobre, i wouldn't even have cracked a smile. anyway. debated between a frankie and going to nibbles. nibbles won, so we went there and had a paneer roll each, and i had that walnut chocolate cake thingy while soumya had a piece of chocolate. oh god, i feel sick.
tuesday, 13th feb
this was the day i developed my eye infection. however, after college i hit gangotri with vaish and sub where i had a sev puri chaat, and we split a bowl of rasamalai and basundhi.
i am seriously considering getting therapy. this disease is a new one, since i don't recall ever eating so much. i blame soumya. and recruitment!
