Street vendors are the reason we get to enjoy lip-smacking Indian food. Whether it is gol gappe and momos or chole kulche and vada pav, food tastes different when eaten on the streets. The vendors roam around neighbourhoods offering local foods and working hard to make ends meet. The internet is full of inspiring stories of some street food vendors. Now another video has come to light where a 78-year-old street food vendor is seen selling lemon soda on the streets of Amritsar, Punjab, and managing his cart all by himself.
