The man, who recently started his first job, said he lives with his parents, contributes towards household expenses and saves part of his income. He enjoys ordering biryani occasionally. After watching Toofani Biryani Hunt, he wanted to try different varieties. Craving dum biryani, he ordered an expensive handi biryani over the weekend.

One commenter said, “If you’re earning well, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with spending some money to enjoy your life.” Another advised, “Enjoy your biryani. Everyone has their own perspective on spending. It may be a waste of money for your dad, but if it brings you happiness, go ahead.”
A third user remarked, “You don’t need to save for anything. If a crisis comes, it comes. People here save for the future, even when they are dead. Enjoy your biryani.”
Others disagreed with his living arrangement. One asked, “Why are you living with your parents at 23? You have a job, move out and do what you want.” Another suggested, “He wants one for himself. Next time, order one for him too, and you’ll be fine.”
