Viral Video: With India’s rising inflation, prices of essential commodities like vegetables, edible oil and petroleum products have burnt holes in common man’s pockets. As prices skyrocket, social media has been overflowing with memes and jokes, with people complaining about the inflation issue. Now, a video of a vegetable seller talking about the price rise, in his own unique style has gone viral on the internet.
The video shows the vegetable seller sitting in a sabzi mandi, reciting poetry about the inflation. He sarcastically mentions all the items whose prices have been hiked in recent times. A Twitter user called Shabnam Hashmi shared the video and claimed that the video might be from Punjab. ”Nimbu kehdi mainu haath, lagayi na, mircha bole kuch din mainu khayi na, Tel bhi kehda tanki bharwayi na, kahwe cylinder mainu aag lagayi na..”. He ends the poem comparing India’s situation with Sri Lanka and says, ”Mainu lagda India second Lanka hai.”
Hashmi shared the video and wrote, ”Gurvinder ki behtreen kavita . He is a vegetable seller , somewhere in Punjab I am assuming.”
