Shocking revelation. Punekars have been feeding visitors Poha while themselves eating some amazing stuff. My careful study found that they never finish their share of poha, but quietly visit a restaurant called Sandeep afterwards. Non Punekars are left completely in the dark.… pic.twitter.com/pV7KlslgVI
