One of the main advantages of living in metro cities, is that there is a wide variety of ready to eat food available at a reasonable price. So even if a person cannot cook food for a few days, they can purchase food from these food sellers, and consume the food without falling ill.
In contrast there is very less ready to eat food available in smaller cities and towns.
Even this food is not suited for everyone, in some cases there is too much sugar in the food, while in other cases , it is very spicy and a lot of water is required after eating the spicy food.
