I am on vacation in Delhi and had the exact craving for gol gappas you described when I spotted the gol gappa waala at our local market today... But I will shamefully admit that I satisfied the craving (or did I?) by heading to Haldirams, not willing to risk falling ill 2 days before I fly back :) What a coincidence!

Standing there at the mercy of the phuchka waala, waiting their turn, with an ashamed junkie look on their face. I've never seen people having a jolly time around a phucka waala. Always a dissatisfied, competitive one: "WHEN IS MY TURN?" is the obvious question on their minds. And no matter how many you've had, you haven't had enough. That's wrong. It's evil.
