Honesty is the best policy, and sometimes it can startle people with the wittiest of reasons. In one such incident, a news reporter who braved the cyclone Yaas was in Odisha for the coverage of the development of the cyclone. He encountered a man for an interview who was wandering outside amidst the scary gust of winds.
Cyclone, Yass, categorized under ‘very severe cyclonic storm’, has rendered northern parts of Odisha with high-speed winds and heavy rainfall. To witness people outside in such unpleasant weather, left a reporter from Naxatra news surprised.
To know why they were stepping outside their house, the reporter questioned a man and his witty reply is dropping truth bombs.
"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 replied,” I have stepped out because you have stepped out too.
The reporter told the main that he is there for the coverage of the cyclone for news
"Hum nahi nikle toh aap kisko dikhayenge? (If we don't go out then whom will you show on the news?)," the man replied, displaying a quick wit.
A clip of the conversation was shared by Naxatra news on Facebook yesterday and has gone viral. IPS officer Arun Bothra also shared the clip on Twitter.
"Such a kind hearted man. Doing so much for the humanity. Respect," Arun Bothra wrote sarcastically while sharing the video.
The clip has amassed up to 6,000 'likes' and 76,000 views on the microblogging platform, where it has left netizens in splits. Here are some of the comments on the Tweet shared by Bothra.
Cyclone Yaas made landfall at the north Odisha coast about 20 km south of Balasore on Wednesday, with 130-140 km per hour wind. At 5.30 pm it was over northeast Odisha, about 55 km west-northwest of Balasore.
Although landfall has been completed, heavy rains are predicted. Fishermen are warned to not venture out in the sea.
