In Bengaluru, a delivery agent made headlines with a surprising request that sparked curiosity and theories among social media users. After delivering groceries to a customer, the agent asked for an onion, leading to various interpretations of his unusual request.
The Unexpected Request
The incident began when a Bengaluru resident, who goes by the username yashwantptl7 on Reddit, shared his experience online. After receiving his grocery order, the delivery agent asked him, “Sir, ek pyaaz mil sakta hai kya?” (Can I have an onion?). This caught the customer off guard, as delivery agents typically ask for tips or a glass of water, not vegetables. When questioned about why he needed the onion, the delivery man simply replied, “Aise hi, khaane ke liye” (Just for food).

Speculations And Theories
The customer’s initial confusion led him and his wife to speculate about the agent’s motives. They wondered if he genuinely needed it for cooking or if there was a more mysterious reason behind the request. Some Reddit users suggested that perhaps the agent was struggling financially and could not afford onions due to rising prices. Others humorously speculated about the possibility of using the onion for “tantra mantra,” a term associated with rituals in some Indian cultures.
Community Reactions
The post quickly gained traction on social media, with many users sharing their thoughts. Some believed that the agent might be asking for onions from every delivery he made to gather enough for his meals. Others expressed admiration for the customer’s kindness in giving away an onion, emphasizing that sometimes people just need small acts of generosity in their daily lives.
This light-hearted incident highlights how a simple request can lead to a flurry of discussions and theories online. Whether it was for cooking or something more whimsical, the interaction between the delivery agent and the customer serves as a reminder of the everyday moments that can connect us and spark curiosity in our communities.
