Lunch at My Workplace

How do you value a Rs. 20 note or $.5? Is this amount too trivial? Well, it may be to the affluent classes in the metro cities. But, it matters a lot for those who earn Rs. 10,000 or less in a month. You know, in India one kg of potatoes costs Rs. 7.50, one kilogram of raw wheat costs Rs. 15, a kg chicken costs Rs. 120.
     This topic is all about lunch at your office? What do you expect in a typical lunch package at your office? As mentioned, a handsome salary earner may opt for anything ranging between $10 combo pack of Pizza + Coke or steamed $8 pasta + ice cream, really they have varieties of costly choice where price matters nothing at all.
    What the average wage earners prefers? Dear reader, it’s wise not to use the term ‘Prefer’. Rather we say at what price an average wage earner bound to buy his or her lunch. Well, most the BPOs in India offer subsidised food to the employees. In such a process the employees really have the chance to enjoy hygienic and quality food. Everything is served like milk, bread, sandwich, banana shake, Indian snacks, rice, chicken curry, cold drink, curd and many more. ‘I really get to eat cool food at my office—Its really great to sit and dine at our office cafeteria’--- says one of my friends works in an internationally reputed BPO with clients from industrial loan, mortgage, credit card, car finance, and house loan sectors.
Really these executives are lucky enough. They have almost everything as: 

• Pick up and drop facilities.
• Hygienic food.
• Subsidized lunch, dinner, and breakfast.
• Weekend refreshment parties.

Now, look at the people who do share a different pattern of office environment and lunch: 

But, what about those employees whose employer never offers subsidised breakfast, lunch, and dinner? They need to buy everything at a high price from the office canteen. Of course, the canteen managers do have little sense in satisfying the customers. They purchases third grade vegetables at a throwaway price and cook foods in unhygienic condition. Everyone knows, a canteen owner never trashes the oil once been used for cooking, they just adds some more oil into the existing volume. In several occasions employees discovers worms and cockroaches from their food plates. Moreover at Rs. 20 what is offered at lunch is really pathetic. For your review, to lunch-plate pictures from a well reputed organization has been provided here. What are these food? How these are made? Is clear to the readers from India, but I need to explain everything to the International readers.

     I am looking forward to hear your views good and bad experiences about the foods are being served at your office canteen. Here are a few questions for your comments: 


• Are you satisfied with the quantity and quality of your office lunch?
• Are you happy about the price of your office lunch?
• Have you ever discovered worms/cockroaches in your lunch plate bought from the office canteen?
