His post received more than eight lakh views. 

"Destroying actual quality of life in hopes it may increase quantity of life is peak 21st-century foolishness. I pity this guy for the life he must lead," said one user.

"If you go to India and don’t eat the food, it doesn’t count as a visit," wrote another user. 

"Bro, are you telling me you’re going to India and not trying any local food? You deserve a gold medal for this sacrifice," commented a third user.
