It all started after a Reddit user posted an open call for breakfast companions, suggesting a meetup at Delhi's Mehak Kalkaji at 9:30 am. “Delhi winters main bhature ka alag mazza hota hain,” the user wrote, inviting anyone interested to join in. Soon after, another Redditor, who the day before had shared a stressful experience involving a Tinder scam, decided to show up.

In follow-up posts, user DuckYourHead shared 2 photos documenting the unexpected encounter. The first pic showed the two participants holding up their phones with their Reddit profiles open. The second image showed a cheerful selfie taken on a bustling Delhi street. Their faces were covered with playful emojis, adding to the lighthearted charm of the moment.

“Met with a fellow redditor over chole bhature,” the Redditor captioned the images, adding that after the previous day’s Tinder ordeal, they “needed much fun time”.
