The internet is a place that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. Funny memes and hilarious anecdotes go hand-in-hand with heart-breaking stories on the internet. Baba Ka Dhaba was one such story that caught the attention of social media users in the latter half of 2020. The video of the distraught couple sharing how their eatery business was affected by the lockdown restrictions went viral on social media. Help poured in from celebrities, renowned personalities and food delivery applications for the elderly owners of Baba Ka Dhaba. A Twitter user took to the micro-blogging platform to seek similar help for a Litti Chokha seller in Mumbai’s Versova beach area. Take a look:

The tweet was shared by user Priyanshu Dwivedi, who narrated the plight of Yogesh, the Litti Chokha seller who has a stall in Mumbai’s Versova beach area. According to Dwivedi, he sells the ‘best Litti Chokha in town’ priced at just Rs. 20/- which includes two littis dipped in butter, chokha, chatni and salad.

He further revealed that Yogesh was trying to sell his delicious creations on Zomato but was unable to list his shop due to a lack of awareness around the process. He was thus planning to shut his business. “He told me that right now he is facing financial issues and facing a tough time. He said, ‘Mahine ka kiraya nahi nikal paa raha hai bhaiya, oopar se yaha sabhi ko paise dene padte,‘” wrote the user in his tweet.

The tweet received over 2.1k likes and hundreds of retweets from concerned Twitter users. They wanted to know where exactly the stall was so that they could pay a visit. Many also volunteered to help the Litti seller financially, asking for his UPI details. Take a look at the reactions:
