There are no roadside chaiwalla or parathewala, or golgappe wala. Haldiram packs of golgappe are available at most places in packing of 20 (no mashed potatoes enclosed) for a princely sum of 4 pounds (yes, you read it correct- Rs. 400/- for 20 golgappas and bring your own filling). The Indian culture is fast catching up with Costa and Barista and Starbucks and in malls you easily spend 200 rupees for a chai, but that is when you live with your parents, and these outings constitute 10 or max 20% of your overall instances. In India you can live like a prince or princess in student life if your pocket money is Rs 10k. 100 pounds in the UK might get you a few meals at most at Indian eateries not classfied as fine dining.
