The very first Seven course meal of my life…..



We were waiting for this day since the moment: we were handed over GMP-schedule. But we never expected it to be so lavish.
Kudos to XLRI traditions and values, GMPians were welcomed with a dinner party as part of MCN-lab in curriculum. The guys dressed in formals or better to say in Managerial Attires reached MDP-Residence on schedule time and the party began with drinks.
First, Second and Third round of drinking..…..and there most of the guys had to stop…thanks to the mentor presence. Guys were sober or rather they did not have an option. :-)
The tables were assigned and then grand dinner begin. Courtesy my naivety, it was the very first time that I was following the standards of Seven Course of Dining while the things were served one by one along with music in rhythm.
And special thanks to Ankit (a flying Lieutenant from Indian Army) who guided our table through with his knowledge with lying knives, spoons and eating etiquettes.
The dish were amazing but more amazing was the way in which those were brought and served.
Learnt that it’s not starters, main course and deserts only but the other courses of a serving are missed by us in any regular party.

Great experience and wish to go through it once again…..
