Things started changing when we arrived in a metro for Jobs. Now we were spending more time in office and very less on grounds. We started eating more outside food including preserved ready to eat or 2 min foods. We added cold Drinks as a matter of lifestyle. Sweets in the form of drinks, cakes, ice creams and mithais became integral part of our food and parties which started to happen more often.
