To all the dhabas i have been there..mostly of them wrote the correct spelling of the words..!!!Originally posted by prafultripathy View PostInder its a dhaba in your home state. Please think and reflect as to how "Coke" is pronounced over there
In fact, even here in pune when one goes outskirts to dhabas/restaurants its the same thing..i remember the last time i had been to bhimashankar there was one restaurant which a LOT of spelling mistakes in its menu card even .. leave alone the bill that comes..!!

3. Day (-2) & Day (-1)
4. Day 1 : Delhi - Amritsar
Monday, 21st September: The night before had been pretty long for me and before going to sleep I had made a backup plan in my mind to counter for the lack of sleep. Our original plan was to ride to Srinagar from Amritsar taking the shortcut via Samba, but if we did the Amritsar - Srinagar route spread over two days we would be able to relax and catch up on sleep. I slept till about 10AM while Pranay and Veda paid a visit to Jallianwala Bagh. Today was going to be the second day that we started late, and that was a trend we'd be maintaining almost all throughout our journey. By the time we were packed and ready to move it was close to 1PM. And as soon as we were out of town we stopped over at a dhaba for lunch.
Considering that the distance we had to cover for this day's ride was just about 200 kms we were riding pretty relaxed. There was a place where I pulled over for a break, but Veda was on a quest for some 'Lassi' so he and Pranay carried forward. Here, I took out my cam for the first to use.
The quality of roads were decent to say the least, there were places where the resistivity of our backs would be tested and there were roads where it seemed any speed achieved. I recollect this one instance in a village where we slowed down, a couple of youngsters saw us started shouting at the top of their voices, "Dhoom, Dhoom, Dhoom". Soon we were in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, and the Jammu town was still about 90 kms from here. Roads after the toll gate were pretty good in most of the parts as the construction of a 4 lane high way is more or less complete. Since we had been riding very relaxed uptill now, we had increase our pace so we reached in daylight.
We were at the entrance of Jammu at about 6PM and it took us a while to decide on a place to stay, finally we stay at my cousin's house in Jammu. The late start from Amritsar had helped charge ourselves really well, the effect of heat and sleep deprivation were taking toll on our bodies had been greatly reduced due to this. I had expected Jammu to be cooler, but it was no different, infact it was a lot more humid than any of our last few places of stay. With sumptuous dinner prepared my bhahi we were stuffed and slept like pigs in the night.
The next day was when the mountains and twisties were to start, I was excited and a bit nervous...but more on that later!

Nice read Praful ...
I think you meant 3 PM. And the reason you didnt get non-veg was because you pulled into a "Vaishno" dhaba which in lay man's term translates to Vegetarian.It was about 3AM when we pulled into 'Lovely Vaishno' dhaba and I was left wondering why aren't there any dhabas that serve non-veg food.

Thanks for pointing out, I will correct it.Originally posted by kurtrules View Post
Thats what I wanted to say, there were only 'vaishno' dhaba's and if there were others, they were pretty inconspicuous!!!
