A Mumbai woman shared an exchange with a coconut seller who emphasised the value of enjoying meals over rushing. The viral post attracted attention for its relatable message and the unexpected wisdom from a vendor.
“Itna paisa kyu kamate ho?” a coconut seller asked a Mumbai woman after she requested him to rush because her cab was about to arrive.
The candid coconut seller then suggested that one should give time to their meals because “kaam toh chalta rahega”. This “nice grounding advice” left a lasting impression on the woman, who decided to share it with fellow social media users.
In a viral post on X, the woman, Gargi, wrote: “Told bhaiya to cut my coconut fast because my uber was on the way & man casually said ‘itna paisa kyu kamate ho? kaam toh chalta rahega lekin khane peene ko time dena chahiye’.”
She also shared a picture of the coconut she had bought from the seller.
