The festival was aimed at grooming the leadership and entrepreneur skills of the students and give them exposure to display their passion in culinary ,art,photography,games,dance and other skills.
Apart from being a lecturer in Degree college IT department for more than 6 years ,I am also a food enthusiast and thought of documenting the culinary and creative efforts of my students in this festival on the day I attended it.The students are undergraduates of Science and Commerce stream  are not culinary experts but young and enthusiastic foodies who had set up various stalls selling food ranging from regional,fusion and street food of Mumbai.The festival reflected the choice of food for the young crowd which  was mostly regional fast food.Some of the counters were of:-

Chhole tikki

Its a popular street food in Mumbai,small potato cutlets served with yellow peas gravy and then topped with spicy savory chutneys.

Litti chokha

It was wonderful to see these young chefs inclined towards the traditional UP delights liiti which are whole wheat balls baked over direct fire served with “Baingan ka chokha” ,eggplants roasted over flame and infused with green chillies ,onions and fresh chopped coriander leaves.I has littis before stuffed with spicy “sattu”,roasted gram flour but these were not stuffed yet littis were soft,perfectly roasted though they lacked the smoky flavor  and the “Baingan ka chokha” was refreshing and spicy.
