The one thing which gets everyone addicted to the dhabas is the flexible credit system. You can just “open an account” with one of them; which essentially means that you make an entry with your name in the register. All you need to do, after you have had all you desired, is to enter the amount you owe in your account yourself. The system has made people live their lives on credit alone. Carrying wallets is no more essential. Sumptuous parathas and chai are always just an entry away.
The good food, affordable prices and quality are just a part of the whole experience, what makes it special is the memories that it creates. These places would always be buzzing with people from campus and some of the most illogical discussion would also take place here. You will never forget the parathas that saved you from starving because you didn’t eat anything even at the after party or the tzinga you got at 5 in the morning for an all-nighter before the exam, only to sleep right after getting back. These are the reason that you still come back to these places even after you have graduated. It’s much more than just an eating joint, it’s part of the culture.
