Lately, the internet has been the most wholesome place as people have started showing an immense amount of support for local vendors by choosing to give them their business instead of big corporations.

The new movement is not only helping out a lot of people in need but also uniting the people of the country for a great cause and bringing in a sense of camaraderie.

After Baba Ka Dhaba in Malviya Nagar became the hottest place to eat in South Delhi, more and more people started sharing the stories of several local vendors from their area and I really hope this movement only grows and gets better.

Last week, people came together to help Chhanga Lal Baba, an 86-year-old man from Faridabad who is selling Bhelpuri for just 5 bucks to earn money. 

Now, people have rallied together to support an old Delhi couple selling tea to survive after going through something really traumatic.

The 70-year-old baba and amma were tortured and abused by their kids and the old man has sustained physical injuries as his hand and back are fractured. 

Shedding light on their story, a guy named Vishal Sharma, who goes by @foodyvishal on Instagram, talked to them and found out that it was actually their son who assaulted them and driven them out of their house.

Their daughter came to their rescue and helped them set up the tea stall. Vishal not only listened to their tragic story, but also did anything he could to help them out.

From buying chips, namkeen, biscuits, to getting tea packets and milk, along with other food essentials, he even handed them Rs 10,000 to help them out.

He also asked people to help them out if they can and fortunately, the story ended up being shared widely, with celebrities like Mahima Chaudhry and Chitrangada Singh extending their support.
