Assalam Alaikum, First of I would like to thank the webmaster for such an excellent piece of work. Specially the Jhrokhe colum is nostalgic.
One thing apart from University Campus that I loved was the Aligarh Food.
Baat 92 ki hai we used to go to Upper Fort (popularly known as UPPERCOAT) for 'Nahari and Nalli' at Muddees shop, espicially during Ramdhan for Sehri.
Ek din ka waqya sunata hoon. ... Main aur mere qabil dost Arshad Nadeem jo ki ab Delhi mein Physiotherapist hain uppercoat Nahari ki sehri karne gaye. Subah ke 3 baj rahe honge. Plan ke mutabik sehri karne ke baad railway station par chai peene ka dastoor tha.
Khair hum ne khana shuru kiya. Thodi hi der mein humare ek dost ke cousin apne friend ke saath tashreef laye jo ki wahan local they. Humein khata dekh humare hi paas aa kar tashtreeffarma ho gaye. Phir hum ne ek ek glass doodh bhi naush farmaya. Ab jaise hi hum paise dene ke liye agey badhe unhonne aur unke dost ne humara haath pakad liya ke nahi tum kaise paise doge, hum bade hain humara haq hai. Main aur Nadeem tradition ke mutabik jeb mein haath daal kar hilate hi rahe ke arey nahi Aslam bhai. (Aise waqt mein aksar haath pocket mein hi phansa reh jata hai)
Khair hum peeche hat gaye. Ab Muddi bhai ne hisab joda. Aslam bhai aur unke friend combine 3 roti aur do nahari. Ab Humara number aaya. Aslam Bhai bole Haan haan batao Muddi kitne hue. Muddi bole " 3 NALLI, 3 NAHARI, 2 MAKKHAN, 11 ROTI AUR DO GLASS DOODH".
Ye sunkar unke friend and woh, mujhe aur Nadeem ko dekhte hi rah gaye Ankhen hairat se phail kar double ho gayi theen.
Main ne unhein phir chai ke liye dawat di magar wo bole aap chalein hum atey hain.
Magar hum do do chai pe chuke aur unka kahin pata na tha..................
