How to fill your stomach

I went to the mess today and actually learnt a very important lesson.
I learnt that hope and mix and match are the two most essential things to fill one's stomach.
Hope , that the mess food would be good , which never turns out to be so.
Mix n match is what Bhalgat taught me.
He took roti + vegetable.
Had eaten half the roti ,when he decided he could not take it anymore.
then roti + dal .
half roti again , then the same thing .
Then he hoped that rice would be better.
He ate 4 spoon full with dal and even that didn't turn up fine.
4 spoon fulls with vegetable(yes , vegetable and rice), left it to it after that.
He then tried only dal.
2 spoon fulls and same conclusion.
Vegetables , same.
and the rasgulla.
and he was done.
Malik dhaba will serve him in the night.
I had to go at that very instant.
Bhalgat's smart.
Why am I so damn distracted that even this gets its place here.
