Delhi students were given a rather global treat this
Republic Day. Jawaharlal Nehru University had its Annual International Food
Festival on Thursday as Students from 14 different nations brought their
traditional dishes for the Delhiites to savor.
Dishes from Countries like Armenia, Tibet, France,
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Laos and Vietnam etc. were put out by the student
chefs and their friends and families, many bringing their flavor and
ingredients from their own countries to get the original taste and aromas of
their food. Students, food enthusiasts and young people from all over Delhi
were here to taste the flavor and be transported to the far off lands with the
essence, without having to pay the cost for the flight. The embassies also pooled
in to help the stalls of their respective countries to provide traditional
costumes, travel pamphlets and posters, and even Books. Diwash Gahatraj
The music in the late evening were a perfect setting for this wonderful
weather, plateful of flavorful evening and the colorful extravaganza in a truly
universal way sharing cultures and making friends without having to really
speak in the same language.
It is as Cesar Chavez said “If you really want to make a
friend, go to someone's house and eat with him... the people who give you their
food give you their heart.” 10 years and the festival will hopefully only get
spicier every passing year
