A news anchor’s try to report on Cyclone Yaas and its influence in Odisha promptly devolved into a comedy segment of sorts when the man he stopped for an interview gave him a brutally sincere reply to his query. Parts of Odisha have been experiencing higher-speed winds and heavy rains due to the “very severe cyclonic storm” Yaas. In such inclement climate circumstances, the reporter for Naxatra News was shocked to see people today out and about – and questioned one man about why he chose to step out in the midst of a cyclone.
The man’s response has left the Internet in splits.
“Tez hawa chal rahi hai, toofan aane vala hai.. toh aap ghar se kyun nikle hain? (A storm is approaching, there are strong winds, so why have you stepped out of the house?)” the reporter asked the man.
The man responded: I have stepped out for the reason that you have stepped out also.
The reporter countered this by saying that he had stepped out only to cover the news.
“Hum nahi nikle toh aap kisko dikhayenge? (If we don’t go out then whom will you show on the news?),” the fast-witted man responded.
A clip of the exchange was shared by Naxatra News on Facebook yesterday and has considering the fact that gone viral on-line. It also made its way to Twitter, exactly where it was shared by IPS officer Arun Bothra.
“Such a kind hearted man. Doing so much for the humanity. Respect,” wrote Mr Bothra whilst sharing the video, tongue firmly in cheek.
