By Samira Vishwas

Concerns about hygiene and food quality in hostel messes are not new. Students across various campuses frequently raise issues ranging from undercooked meals and unclean utensils to poor sanitation in kitchen areas. Such incidents often spark conversations about the need for stronger monitoring, stricter safety standards, and better accountability from hostel administration. Recently, one such case from the University Institute of Technology, RGPV in Bhopal has drawn widespread attention online after a student allegedly discovered what he believed to be a lizard in his mess food, reigniting the debate on food safety in hostels.

The student says he noticed the unusual object while eating and immediately brought it to the attention of the mess staff. But the staff brushed aside his concern, claiming that it wasn’t a lizard at all – just a piece of capsicum. Shared by The student can be heard asking the mess staff, “Bhai saab, what is this, see.” (Brother, please see what this is.)

The staff member responds, “Shimla mirch hai yaar.” (It’s capsicum, man.) The student then says, “This is her. It’s sticky, her eyes are coming out.” (This is its skin. It’s a lizard – its eye was popping out.) To prove otherwise, the staff member proceeds to take a bite of the vegetable, demonstrating that it is not a lizard.

“When your defense strategy is literally to ‘eat’ the crime scene.

“Forget the lizard – the real story is the staff member who has apparently evolved to a point where they can digest reptiles just to win an argument. We’re debating food safety, but honestly, the Bhopal mess worker deserves to be studied by science. If you can eat a lizard to prove it’s capsicum, you’ve officially transcended human logic.”

“Mess ka menu: capsicum or lizard? The staff did a live taste test to prove their point. This is Bhopal’s real reality show – a shocked student on one side, a stunt-performing staff member on the other. This mess food controversy has turned education into a circus.”

“When the hostel mess turns into a survival reality show.”
