I get upset when people misunderstand me. Yes it is true that I love non vegetarian food. Yes it is true that during my 5 month stay at Infosys I did not eat vegetarian even on a single day. There are many such successful streaks in my career. But hey that doesn’t mean I hate vegetarian food. It is the kind of misconception that assumes all straight people are homophobics. In fact my parents never allowed me to take non vegetarian food for lunch during my school days. We even had this stupid rule that who ever brings non-veg should sit separately away from the group for that day during the lunch break. Which come to think of it, is very messed up. Seriously, that is Manusmriti level messed up man. Anyways in this session of FML, I would like to suggest a vegetarian food.
Potatoes are one of my favorite foods. The reasons include my mom’s potato fry, Lays american cream and onion, Potato bajji near my college back in the day, fries at McDonalds and the mere fact that it is called a Po-ta-to.. Haha what a funny sounding name. Without any hesitation I admit that one of the reasons my 6 pack is now hidden deep under the warm and thick layer of fat is the carbohydrate delight called the POTATO.
The item is called Potato Shots. The place is The Snack Room. Opened recently near Madinaguda close to Allwyn crossroads, it is a small eatery just outside Suguna super market. While there are many other items there (which you can try and let me know if they’re any good) potato shots is the sure shot winner. Those tiny crispy and soft balls made from potatoes is one of the best vegetarian snacks I have had the pleasure to taste in recent times.

>> They have their own dipping sauce which complements the dish perfectly like Ravindra Jadeja to MS Dhoni or like Kona Venkat to Sreenu Vaitla..oh wait…nevermind.
>> You can check out their Facebook page. They seem to have some cool offers too.
>> Not that I am being a Vegophobic (I just coined that term) but in case you feel suffocated and start to crave for chicken, there is an RFC just beside the super market. You can go there and get fried chicken that is as tasty as Kfc but at half the prices.
>> Back to the snack room, they also have Panner rolls and milkshakes. There are also dishes made with baby corn and others. Please note that there are non-vegetarian items also but I am conveniently ignoring those parts as I want to focus on veg this time.
>> This is what happens on a usual weekend. I have a heavy lunch featuring at least two different dishes made with chicken and a liter of Pepsi. What comes next is a couple of hours of sleep which is promptly followed by shame and regret. However it will last only until I take a nice hot bath. Then I feel fresh and ready to explore new territories in the world of eating outside. If you face similar situations and have difficulty in choosing where and what to eat, then this is a perfect choice.
Now to songs. I am no doubt a perpetual lover of my childhood and I believe anything and everything from those days is way better than anything that is now and that will ever be. So no wonder I have a huge collection of songs from those good old days. Here are two random songs from my Telugu Old playlist that I picked in shuffle mode.

These songs once again strengthen my belief that my iPod is a tiny machine that gives me the ability not just to travel through time but also through space. I can go to different places in different times when I listen to these songs. Like the house I grew up in or my uncles Maruti 800 with a cool cassette player. I hope you have similar memories that are attached to these songs and please feel free to share them.
That is all for now. Visit the snack room for the potato shots and be assured that you will not be disappointed. Share with me some more songs that you like. Thanks for stopping by and do stay tuned for more. 🙂

enjoyed reading and got connected maybe because u know i am not intellectual and academics is a far off thing to me.Hope Suhas does not read my comments as he may feel disgusted about me.I have reached a stage in life where i think twice before i eat.Poor me. I have given up all kinds of meat .I indulge in seafood and dont miss out on meat.
So, you are the newfound Ambassador for the Madinaguda Snackroom!! Well why don’t you let me witness your ‘Po-ta-to relishing epic moment’ sometime… But why is that paradigm shift from Non-Veg to Jabilamma?? Are you done with the Snack Room delicacies or you conveniently taking the leap to fill the space? 😉
Well, regarding ‘Po-ta-to’… we used to have a Sir in Inter II yr where he always insisted on calling it Po-ta-to not Po-taa-toe (the most common n usual way of pronouncing). I used to exclaim “Fuck..how does it make a diff?” Even now I have the same exclamation and expression!
Ha Ha 😀 Then coming to Non-Veg – I used to be a Chikenophilic & Prawnophilic (even I coined the terms just now) but in an unfair play of fate, I had to give up Non-Veg (The chicken and prawn community must be feeling like the poor inter guys declared with an interim holiday during the 1st hours of the day)
Now Moving on to songs..Jabilamma Neeku Antha Kopama is my fav too!!!
