Christ Church Dinner

Finally got an opportunity to dine at the famous Harry Potter dinning hall. Thanks to Jitin for inviting bunch of folks to the hall. I had been to the college before so haven't dropped my jaw after entering. However nice to dine there. Jitin had already set the expectations from food at bare minimum level, so no surprise. Here are few snaps.

The picturesque first quad of CC

Dhruv Lakra. Exuberantly Happy as he is going home tomorrow while rest of us still have exams

Pre-dinner drinks

I don't believe Harsh made a joke. Aashima and Lovraj are just plain-vanilla happy.

The other side of the table was comparatively serious and meant business...

After dinner discussions... about which pub to head for!

Manoj and his wife. Manoj is smart IITian and importantly good company for sitting silently with me.

Finally the host. THE Jitin Dhanani.

Last week I got to dine at Green college which almost went bankrupt (obviously not because I ate there...) and now merging with Templeton college. On the other hand, today the talk at dinning table was about someone donating GBP 50 million Christ Church. Green is very new college and apparently has no legacy to stand out amongst old Oxford colleges. Christ Church is one of the biggest, oldest and most famous college with many big names as alumni and above all, it is the Harry Potter college. Well, the brand name and fame matters every where no matter if your are a fresh passout or an Oxford college.
