Living in a foreign country comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. While it provides plenty of opportunities to explore, it's undeniable that we sometimes feel homesick. In such instances, we often turn to food as a way to feel more at home and comfortable. While it is not difficult to access Indian food these days, the prices can certainly be surprising. Recently, a man found himself in a similar situation when he went out to buy groceries and saw that the price of parwal (pointed gourd) was too high. The exorbitant price of the vegetable prevented him from buying it and left Twitter users amused.
