Bhubaneswar: It’s ‘LoL’ (Laugh Out Loud) time on the Internet. Sometimes, the worst situations can beget the best laughter. And so it is happening in a video of a man’s response to a news reporter after he justified his reason for stepping out in the wake of Cyclone Yaas on Wednesday. The video, a news clipping of a local news channel, has gone viral on social media. Needless to say, netizens are in splits.
Upon spotting a man roaming around amid high-speed winds and heavy rains, the reporter, who was covering the impact of Yaas, asked this man, Tez hawa chal rahi hai. Toofan aane wala hai, toh aap ghar se kyun nikle hain (There is a strong wind as the cyclone is approaching. Why have you stepped out of home)?”
Hold your breath for the man’s reply, Arre aap toh nikle hain na. Aap nikle hain, isliye hum nikle (I stepped out because you did).” To this, the reporter said, Humlog toh khabar dikha rahe hain na (We are covering news).”
Here is the man’s hilarious reply: Hum nahi nikle, toh aap kisko dikhayenge (Whom will you feature if we don’t step out)?”
Managing Director of Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) and senior IPS officer Arun Bothra tweeted the news clipping with the caption, “Such a kind hearted man. Doing so much for the humanity. Respect.”
