A number of desi users reacted to the hilarious post. Many agreed that this was the same in their household as well. “This is pretty much the same at my place,” said one user while another wrote, “I thought this was just my mom!” Several others pointed out that it was a valid thing to do considering the rising prices of peas during the off-season. “They hoard palak, gobi and phalli among other things as well,” wrote one user while another said, “Getting a horde of guests all of a sudden isn’t less than an apocalypse!”
