Translated from Marathi

Open food should not be eaten because the surrounding area is dirty. Insects sit on the food and the pain-puri wala’s hands are not clean and we eat that food. Indians make themselves sick on their own. After getting sick, they blame it on their luck for falling sick. So why blame luck? That’s why I want to tell Indians: don’t eat open food and waste your money.
