"I was going home from Raidurg in the metro and started complaining to my friends about how hungry I was. We were joking about it, and I even pointed out someone's juice bottle in their bag and joked about simply stealing it, they weren't looking at me so I was safe anyway,” she wrote. Then she explained how a “nice lady” sitting beside her asked if she and her friend were hungry. When they replied that they are, the woman went on to give them snacks and fruits to eat.
