Bengaluru, known for its thriving IT scene, lures people from across India in pursuit of a better life. However, the fast-paced city life often consumes their time, leaving little room for personal life. Balancing work and personal life becomes challenging, and even cooking a decent meal becomes rare. The absence of a home-cooked meal makes them miss the comforts of home. This leads to increased reliance on unhealthy fast food.
