Day 1 - Iqbal Bhai ka Tawa

As we left the Kankaria Lake for Gita Mandir, we realized that we still had a lot of time to burn before we went back to college. So we walk till the Gita Mandir and then manage to get a drunk Rickshaw waala to drop us at Mirzapur for 15 bucks. Of course, the actual cost of reaching the place is 20 bucks from Gita Mandir.
Now despite one near accident situation, we managed to reach Mirzapur without much hassles and we see this single food stall selling non-vegetarian tava food. Now we were told about this place by one of our professors and we had come here to have a chat with Iqbal Bhai (the owner) of the stall. As it always happens in such situations, he wasn't there! And he was due to come at around 11:30 PM in the night and the time then was 8:30 PM and we had no intentions of getting that late.
So as we ate our food, we managed to get on of the waitors to get to talk about the place and he told us, "Iqbal Bhai is one lucky man. Wherever he started his tava, it always worked. Be it Baroda or Anand or Ahmedabad! But then , he started having alcohol and had to give up on his franchises in Baroda and Anand. He still has five outlets in Ahmedabad which he has given to people on lease of 200 bucks per day."
The waitor himself had come from Bihar and had been working on the tava centre for the past seven-eight years. We asked him how did he come to know about this place. He smiled and said, "Apne bahut log hai par! (We have a lot of our own people out here.)" He told us that they usually get the raw material for the food from Mirzapur itself. And he would show us the place if required.
We told him that we would come back to meet Iqbal Bhai and see the place on a later date as we realized that it was already 9:30 PM and we still had to walk a lot to reach a bus station from which we could get a bus for Gandhinagar.
