Plain Maggi is amateur hour. Here is the hostel gourmet tier list: Tier S: Crushed oregano flakes + half slice of processed cheese melted on top Tier A: Chopped green chilies fried in butter before adding water + a dash of peri-peri Tier B: Adding leftover canteen bhurji into soupy Maggi Tier C: Plain watery Maggi cooked in an electric kettle with missing masala packet. What is your secret recipe?

At 2 PM everyone is busy pretending to be productive, calculating CGPA, and rushing to classes. At 2:30 AM sitting cross-legged on the corridor floor with tea, all the social masks drop. You talk about childhood memories, existential fears, whether alien life exists, and what life will look like 10 years from now. These nights are what college is actually made of.

If you bring a 4-socket spike guard to your hostel room, prepare for your room to become the designated charging hub of the entire wing. You will have three laptops, two power banks, a Bluetooth speaker, and an electric kettle plugged in by 11 PM.
