Solution
- I will carry those items which do not get spoiled easily. I will pack them in dry containers and packets.
- I will carry biscuits, chips, dry fruits, dry sweets, sattu (gram powder), curd, chiwda (rice flakes), murmure (puffed rice), puri, dry sabji, etc.
- I will first try to finish puri and sabji because they can get spoiled in a few days.
