As a student:
Neighbourhood stand-and-eat self-services (Darshinis et. al.)
As an intern:
Upgradation to A/C halls of the Sagars
Early days of employment:
Graduation to CCDs and restaurants serving impressive sounding cuisines
That's when reality dawns; The concept of "savings" beginning to make a non-negligible impression.
Soon, back it is to the neighbourhood stand-and-eat self-services.
Can anything beat those stand and eat... & student life off course. Even though there wasn't enough money, there wore no worries too.
