  To me freshly baked pizza delivered under thirty minutes is a symbol of the American way of life. It is fast,convenient and absolutely delicious. It was hardly any wonder then that pizza was my favourite food for the longest period of time. I loved the colour(depending on the topping) and smell of the dish. Its brownish base with bright red tomato sauce and golden yellow melting cheese often studden with black olives or green peppers smelt like something my mother would cook at home everyday(if only she could.Sigh).However,"Just when you think you have everything under control.Life happens".Life happened to me and it happened to the food I ate! I came to America to get a college education. I could almost imagine eating every sort of pizza that there is everyday of the week. My dream however of becoming a foodie was short lived. On my first trip to the dining hall I realized that the only "vegetarian pizza" was cheese pizza. To add insult to injury all the vegetarian food tasted bland almost as if it had simply been boiled in water with a little bit of salt. I was horrified! I only ever ate boiled vegetables in India when I was ill. Thus, I do not think that I have a favourite food anymore; at least until I recover from my traumatising first experience(I still wince when I look at the dining food).

["Just when you think you have everything under control.Life happens". I do not remember where I read this or who said it. Googling this produced no results so maybe it is not an exact quote. I do hope that I have not violated any citation rules.]

Oh, I almost forgot. I am Nayan Bagaria from Kolkata,India.
