Viral Video: India always has been a country where guests are considered no less than God. And the gravity, for some reason, of that treatment only manifolds if the guest is one’s ‘son-in-law’. Proving the above-said in ‘379 ways’, an incident from Andhra Pradesh went viral, where a mother-in-law welcomed her daughter and her son-in-law with 379 food items prepared for the couple. A video of the duo sitting in front of a table full of all kinds of dishes was shared on social media, which went viral. The incident was somewhat old, but it's going viral again as the ‘welcome’ ended up sparking a debate over food wastage.
Most people were against the number of dishes cooked and called it a clear ‘waste’, while some advocated that the remaining food would be eaten by the family members.
The video was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘kusdhar’. The post was captioned, “We had a very great west godavari vindu bojanam for our first sankranthi! In lunch, we had 379 items in total like 40 flavored rice, 20 roti chutneys, 40 curries, 40 fries, 90 to 100 sweets, 70 hot items, juices, drinks, and many more!!” The video was shared last year but is going viral again.
Watch the viral video:
Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Are you very lucky? Were you even able to finish all that?” a user said. “Wastage of food.... It will be useful if given to a needy one,” added a second person. “Totally waste even if he can't taste each dish. This is stupidity,” added a third person.
“Even the son-in-law and the son-in-law would not like to be treated like this. They would like to give better food to the poor. So that they do not have breakfast and also get the blessings of those poor people,” added another. “There will be absolutely no wastage of food, whatever will be left, will be eaten by the family members,” added another.
