1. Once, on stopping at a roadside dhaba, I noticed many things which were new to me. There were many travelers stopping to eat at the dhaba. Most of them came there to eat, not out of choice, but compulsion, as their buses stopped there.
2. There were some people who stopped to ask for directions. Some others stopped to use the toilets or use the space to smoke their cigars.
3. These shopkeepers or dhaba owners were ill-treated. Some people shouted at them while others used objectionable language. A group of college boys, who had come in their jeep, left without paying their bill. However, these shopkeepers remained their docile self and did not argue much, probably fearing hostility.
4. The roadside stalls mostly sold food items. But, there were many other stalls as well. There were tea stalls, telephone booths and small sheds selling cigarettes and tobacco.
5. The lives of these people revolve around their small yet respectable business. Usually, the whole family is involved in the business. Some of them even had their houses nearby. They seemed down to earth and unassuming, and avoided being involved in any fight.
