Twitter user, @Chacha_huu, claimed to have paid Rs 490 for two samosas, one tea, and a water bottle at Mumbai Airport. This revelation led to widespread outrage, especially when @Chacha_huu disclosed that his entire trip, including the flight from Mumbai to Kolkata and cab fares, cost him a whopping Rs 11,220, nearly his entire monthly salary of Rs 17,000.
The user wrote: «2 Samosa, 1 Tea, and a Water Bottle cost me 490 Rs at Mumbai Airport. Flight Ticket From Mumbai to Kolkata — 9230 Rs.
Cab drivers Took 1500 Rs. Total 11220 Rs For Reaching My Home (One time). My Salary Per month is 17000.»
«And I am one of those Hindus among 100 Crore population whose family depends on their earnings!!! Seriously Hindu Khatre mai hai!!,» he added.
While some Twitter users criticized @Chacha_huu for his spending choices, suggesting he opt for more budget-friendly options, others empathized with his concerns about the steep prices at airports.
«Bhai, airport k bahar samose kha lo… train se travel karo (Brother, you can eat samosa outside the airport; travel by train),» replied one user.
«With your salary of 17000, you should spend less time on Twitter and more time working… and take the train… no one is waiting for your meeting,» replied another.
Another Twitter user, in a sarcastic tone, said, «Uda Desh Ka Aam Nagarik!!! You are not an Aam Nagarik… you are a poor guy.
