We had Chef Manoj to wrap up the HAACP lecture today. The whole class was prepared for the worst, as we heard stories of how the chef would conduct a "Circle of Death", where he would make the class go in a circle and ask each student questions related to the topic at hand. Pity the student who wouldn't be able to come up with a coherent answer. But thankfully, we didn't have that today. I guess he was still trying to size up the class. Chef Manoj is actually a pretty cool guy. Out of all the lectures we've had this week, his class was the most entertaining in terms of the stories and the humor. He definitely held the class' attention lest we have an impromptu recitation. One could tell however, that the students were somewhat intimidated. Some people gave unintelligible responses to questions, while some just blacked out completely (One of my classmates didn't have a clue where he lived when asked by the Chef). But its healthy to be on your toes every so often, I guess.
