Rivi! Rivi! Rivi!

Whenever you walk into class one of the first things on your mind is 'Recess' and the food therein. (Don't lie ha. The girls/guys may come second but food takes priority) And if like me, you often 'forget' (read as 'too lazy') to get your own food, you turn to your saviours in class to feed your hungry stomach and nourish your tired mind with some 'khanna'!

Prime among these saviours in my case is Riviera Noronha. Although I often screw up her French derived name into 'Rivera' or keep saying 'Rivi' till I get her attention (by which time I have said 'Rivi' about 50 times).

This woman gets her 'dabba' everyday and has a share set out for me. And not a Marwadi share. A proper Punjabi share.

The food is varied as well as delicious. While it is fruits one day it could well be cream bun the next or khakra or biryani (the last one is just a hint for her to get next time).

And not just filling my stomach she also tutors me in Accounts (for a CA aspirant like her it's child's play). And most of this tutoring happens like a day before the exam (she actually taught me so well I got 89 out of a 100).

The reason this woman is awesome is because I actually broke her phone and yet I never get much emotional blackmail about it (to be honest, it was a Lumia so she might as well thank me).

So this is to say to Rivi, Thank you! For feeding me and teaching me and not blackmailing me.
