With so many places for adda, privacy from the prying eyes of neighbours comes at a premium. News of young adults lighting cigarettes quickly reaches their guardians through the grapevine, returning with suitable reprimands. If a young man and woman are seen together on the streets, rumours of a brewing romance fly through the area. This blurring of boundaries has some benefits too. In case of emergencies, residents can always run to the nearest adda hotspot and be almost guaranteed of some form of help.
