IGLOO - The Place Now Where Nostalgia Turns Up!



This place was the official meeting point/hanging place/place when to blunk class for Excellence college folks... This restuarant is situated near my graduation college where I used to have great time with all my college mates... Not only me, but every one in my college used to chill out here... Igloo is, I guess, matured with us... During the time we entered into our graduation college, this place is opened almost during that time period... We saw the deleveopment of this place to this current situation, of which, this photo is attached....
There were umpteen memories of this place related to our hangouts, various occasions etc... Whenever we wanted to go out of the college, the first name ever came to our brain was Igloo... It was couples zone as well, Many love stories blossomed at this place and might be possible, few of them got ended too... We used to go there with our college buddies group.. We encircled around one/or two tables.. We were always short of chairs, so we had to arrange it from here and there... But it was fun.. Even though we used to go here with our friends, but there were lot many friends or acquaintances from other batches and faculties too, so we were never stagnant at our table. Going here and there... Eating pieces of foods stuffs from other tables as well... Shouting, Pulling legs, Talking in Slangs .. This was the common scene of Igloo irrespective of any batch.. We often went for contribution or one person/one dish.. But never restricted to one's own ordered food item, we had to have others' foods also even though we hadn't shared ours in first hand.... Our professors started knowing that if we are not in the classes, we might be over there at Igloo... During interrogation, they asked (if they catched any student who was bunking) that "Were you at that restaurant, what it calls, ahhh Igloo??" And answer was used to be this " No Sir, We were at college itself." Though I was never caught into such situations but I know many of them who were....
About food items... they were as common as found in other normal restaurants around the city... But there was craze of Potato 65.. This name became cliche. everyone used to order it while giving order... Though my favorite dish was Noodles and I always had it... There were some other famous ordered food itmes like Veg Kothe, Chiily Mushrooms etc.. Now they have some new items in their menu... People used to have icecreams at this place... And they had fruit beers in their Menu, but truely speaking, It wasn't that impressive...
I went there in group, alone, with 2-3 buddies... Igloo holds good place in the memories section of my brain... That's why I decided after coming back to Bhopal that whenever I get time, I try to chill out with friends at Igloo... So Its become ritual now that in weekend, Me and my some of the friends gather here to chill out and to feel nostalgic.. This is the fact that whenever we come here, we always talk about erstwhile college days, those funny moments, about old friends and all the incidents related to college, which is hardly 1Km far from Igloo..

My IEHE Days!

Those were the days when we always wanted to be in college premises, whether we’re attending the classes or not, but we wanted to go college everyday.

These were the days of IEHE when & where I was doing graduation. I had a great fun over there. Now I’ve so many memories (which I’ll cherish forever). For me IEHE was completely different place. Here I learned about Studies (including extra curricular activities) and Emotions (excluding love). I’d made many friends, from them some are still my very good friends and some had broken the friendship.

Of college days, I’ve so many memories & want to share some of -them with you:--

Ø I had gone to many parties thrown at friends’ places ( esp Kunal birthday party: wonderful time, masti and arrangement) and to Igloo (IEHEites most favorite meeting point)… I had thrown some parties too but don’t ask about them… They were too good to describe…

Ø I had participated in many Quizzes & won prizes.. (Don’t think I’m blowing my own trumpet).
Ø We had gone umpteen times on bikes rides to city outskirt restaurants to enjoy our Boys “Parties & Night out”.
Ø Here I realized my only LOVE i.e. for Britain..
Ø I got best student prize in History and got top rank (for the first & last time) in Agricultural Economics. Because of this my name came in college’s various subjects toppers’ list. A matter of pride to me.

Ø I participated in drama ( I played the main character, around whom the whole story was revolving but I had only 5 minutes role in starting). It was a comedy murder mystery and I played the role of murdered person. The starting part of this drama was unexpected and shocking.

Ø I had fun filled time with friends. There were also bad experiences related to friendship. But that have no place in my blog.
Ø We prepared for UPSC exams. We had a several discussion with friends. Barua Sir had always provided much help in this matter.
Ø Presentations days, Assignments days, Exams days, Result days always kept us busy and tensed. But on the other hand couples of freshers’ parties & farewell parties were full of extra fun.
Ø Last but not the least; my professors have always been caring, supportive & friendly to us. IEHE memories are incomplete without mentioning them.

Thanks God for giving me such a great days. I can write a book on my IEHE days…..
