In Vadodara this week, an unexpected street food dispute brought the city’s traffic to a standstill. The drama unfolded near the serene Sursagar Lake when a woman claimed she had been short-changed, not in cash, but in puris. For Rs 20, she had expected six crunchy, filled puris but received only four. Outraged at the perceived injustice, she staged a one-woman sit-in right in the middle of the road, refusing to budge until her demand for the missing two puris was met.
