Field Observations

The image shows the storefront of a small, local eatery named “Rondhonu Khabar Ghor.” The business has a large, colorful sign featuring its name, proprietor’s details, and pictures of various food items like biryani, curry, and kebabs. The entrance is open, revealing a modest interior with simple red plastic chairs and tables. To the right, a green corrugated metal sheet provides a partial enclosure. A red gas cylinder sits outside, indicating on-site cooking. The overall appearance is that of a typical, no-frills roadside restaurant catering to local patrons for everyday meals.
