It's that time of the year again when students start college, and while some undergo a change of city, others head to a different country or even continent. Now, given how much we love our desi, masaledaar khaana, that's the one thing we can't do without, no matter where we live. So, doting mommies whose kids are heading abroad are leaving no stone unturned to ensure their laadla betas and betis don't miss Indian food. However, their kids are left attempting to stuff 'inappropriate' numbers of achaar bottles and matthi that mommy got them, into their bags.
Maggie, achaar and masaledaar eatables are now some of the most common things that one can expect to find in the suitcase of an Indian student taking an international flight. But this year, mothers are going the extra mile (or rather kilogram) to make sure the kids don't get too homesick.
Airlines have also made sure that the students don't forget to take their favourite things when they leave home. Now, a number of airlines allow students to carry bags that weigh between 40 and 50 kg which is a quite a jump from the mere 23 kg that travellers are usually allowed. But forget students, it's their mothers who are making the most of this increase in baggage allowance by packing things that wouldn't be difficult to find in the country their child is going to.
