VASCO
Believe it or not, a Pani Puri wala has stolen the show at the Annual Damodar Bhajani Saptah festival this year in Vasco.
A video of a makeshift Pani Puri wala carrying his stock of puris, chutney, bhaji held on his head and the other equipment like the base stand between him and a bike rider has gone viral on social media.
A video of the duo on a scooter was probably captured by a person driving a car along the same road and has already garnered thousands of views by netizens. The video has been shared multiple times on several social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram.
The 34-second video shows the Pani Puri wala moving along the FL Gomes Road and across the Cine Vasco - old Bus stand, much to the surprise of traffic police monitoring the busy traffic at Saptah.
While many netizens found the video amusing, some have appreciated the man for his hard work and business acumen to set up a stall and make the most of the festival to set up shop and earn when he can.
Some have, however, expressed concerns over the video and have advised the Pani Puri wala to ride carefully and not to endanger the lives of others, while also urging people not to shoot videos while driving just for the thrill of uploading the videos on social media.
