Food for Soul

One of the toughest things that teeny tiny teenagers have to do while leaving home for college with their big suitcases, apart from giving up all the good homemade food, is, leaving the person who makes it for them with utmost love.

This is where the rescuers in disguise arrive. They make your transition from MHK (Maa ke Haath ka Khaana) to MHK (Mashi ke Haath ka Khaana) really simple. They are the eating joints, or as the jargon goes, ‘dhabas’ right inside and outside college.

 Their culinary prowess and their quick service make them an instant hit. They have a motley variety available right from the morning till the evening; vegetarian, eggetarian, non-vegetarian or diet-arian; there’s always something for everybody. You have your freedom of customizing every dish too: a little cheese in your Dosa or some broccoli and chili in your Wai Wai. The best part being, they are really easy on the pocket. And the street dust adds the required flavoring.

The gossip, the budding romance and the bird-watching comes gratis with the omelettes and the momos and the likes. They provide more than just food; they provide a hangout ‘adda’. They satiate more than just hunger. This food doesn't go straight to the thighs; it goes straight to the soul with the accompanied conversations of your friends. Hog on!
