In India, hard work moves deep into culture, and sometimes, we come in stories that actually make this feeling embodied. One such story is of a 108 -year -old man from Moga, Punjab, who is still selling onions and potatoes on the road. One person recently met the street seller while he was working and decided to share the online moment. The video features an elderly seller, smiling and working despite his age. When asked how old he was, he replied in Punjabi, “108.” In the video, the seller is seen taking a sip of water and calls the passers -by with enthusiasm, shouting, “Alu paji“(Potato and onion!) As he continued his day’s work.
