Even though her grandfather doesn’t like street food, it fills his heart with happiness when he sees his grandchild enjoying it. Though his grandfather knows that these foods don’t contain any nutritional values, even then he is bound to do so, in order to see his granddaughter smile. Though the food is prepared in unhygienic condition beside the road side, Ariba is too young to understand the implications it might have to her physical and mental development.
