The pics here have something in common, and that is, they are from campuses that I spent quite some time on. Osmania University, Hyderabad, IIM Bangalore and Clemson University, as a student of engineering, MBA and PhD in Management, respectively.
At OU, we had a Hilton cafe, an Irani joint serving chai and samosa, bun-omelettes and other yummy things. This was the only Hilton we knew in those days.
At IIMB, we had grounds but no sports equipment. So we innovated, and played Frisbee Footer, because we had a frisbee. Similar to Rugby, you passed the frisbee, and scored goals.
At Clemson, the football was played on a much larger scale- in an 80,000 capacity stadium called Death Valley. And we were spectators. It was a colourful affair, and the ambience was infectious even to those who did not understand the game.

Hilton has since made way for a CCD. Such are the times.
Sad, from my point of viewing it.
