The bajji The pickle is very spicy Take one. Let me taste. Looks like our jalebi
Give Rishi one No special taste Why are you laughing? You always order noodles. Cant you have rice? I want to have rice, but I didnt like Ema datshi In this country, they have only Ema datshi as a main curry I think we have got something and all special because we are Indians Bitter gourd fry like we make at home Pappad White rice. Why did you take pappad You have only this and dont eat anything else Dal curry. They are serving in an awesome plate Ema datshi. This is full of chillies.

Thashi is driving now I didnt sleep On the way, the police stopped us Last day a lorry slipped down and they are lifting it now That is what you see here now They are lifting the lorry using their recovery van That truck was taking potatoes It is coming up very slowly Very very slow This is the one that is pulling it up For a support, they have pulled and tied it there That is how they are doing it A lorry like this that went with potatoes is what fell down It would be a family's or a teams one year's hard work of potato harvesting I think nothing has happened to anyone. It happened days ago See how patiently and disciplined are these people and vehicles Is anyone trying to come in front? Thats it Look at the traffic police's bike The lorry is almost up You shouldnt stand near that, its dangerous. I am standing this far Only the workers are standing there They are experts. If the wire breaks or anything happens, it is very dangerous They have lifted it up Look at him removing the support given on top They are real experts Now they will leave vehicles from one side We have stopped for lunch It is 2.30pm We have again stopped at the same restaurant we had food from that day Let us have something light from here Rice for Rishi and Chowmein for us Koka chowmein He has learnt to stay in the cap.
