I was strolling down the street with my friends after the lectures. As we were sparing each and every cent we didn't have money to spend on three wheelers. Rather than the most funny is having many gossips and taking selfies by walking.  


  We all had no money to buy snacks like other days, on our way we stopped and we all checked our wallets to make sure how much we had. We were able to collect about 250 rupees.  Not bad we laughed and we had many choices, we were in sad mood when we saw large restaurants since money was not enough.


We had an idea to buy wade and some veg rottis from the street vendor.  

 Alas !!! I though to myself if I eat from them my stomach will be in discomfort . I was dreaming and completely forget where I was, my friends started to joke at me suddenly I came to conscious that I'm with them. I had no choice but to buy them. My friends were used for those since their childhood but I was typically different from them as my parents never bought them for me they used to buy me from a good clean and well big restaurant or else my mom used to make them at home.  

 After I was with this gang I had no choice but to adapt myself to their lifestyle. All my friends started to eat standing near the street Vendor. The street vendor was wearing an old aged shirt it was filled in blackish colour and all the dust was filled in the food and the smell of rancid oil made me headache.  


 I just lied to my friends I am not hungry I will eat when I'm on my village bus, since I have to wait inside for almost half an hour just gazing and yawning. My mind knows I never eat these food they will do directly to dustbin. Now it was time to say Goodbye. We all got separated for our homes.

 Time was now 5. 30 I was waiting for a bus, now I saw many students who was going home after tution classes were standing near street vendors as flock of birds jostling and crowded buying varieties of food. The black fumes were completely blown to the foods as they were uncovered but it was a doubt why these children are so much attracted,may be because of the price is cheap but it must be tasty too. Actually I can't imagine about the taste, my stomach starts to shout but I can't never taste those street foods even I die in hunger. It's impossible for a character like me.


Until I arrive home I just drank water from my water bottle. Alas !! I had to threw away those foods in secret to mother I didn't feel give them for my pets even. I just threw away.  

 Street food may be a tasty food for some but for some it's horrible to taste or even think of it.
