When people migrate to new places, they don't just carry suitcases—they carry their culture, habits, and food with them. These everyday pieces of home quietly blend into new surroundings, creating moments of connection that transcend borders.
A recent video from Minnesota is a perfect example—where an Indian woman's warm gesture of offering vada and chutney brought smiles to an unsuspecting group of American workers.
The surprise came for a team of American construction workers from

, an asphalt company, while they were busy working outside a home. Out walked the homeowner, an Indian woman dressed simply in her nightwear with a dupatta casually thrown over her shoulders—carrying two plates piled with freshly made vada and coconut chutney.

The crew's reaction was pure joy. 'Thank you so much,' they said, smiling widely as she handed them the plates. One curious worker asked what the dish was. 'Vada,' she replied, pausing before adding with a smile, 'Like a donut—but not sweet. Spicy only.'
The men dove in, savoring every bite. 'Fire,' one of them exclaimed in appreciation, clearly enjoying the crispy, spicy treat.
The video, shared by the company on Instagram, quickly went viral—not just because of the food, but because of the gesture.

A third user explained what Vada is. They explained, 'That's Vada with spicy coconut chutney. It's one of the famous everyday evening snack here in my state, Tamil Nadu. There are some varieties of vada, but the one you had is the famous one called Ulunthu vada, crispy outside, soft inside,' another person explained.'

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 set for Inglewood with full match card revealed
Full match card set for WWE Money in the Bank 2025 WWE will present the 16th annual Money in the Bank premium live event this weekend at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The event maintains WWE's recent trend of short-format shows and includes four matches on the main card. As customary, two of those matches will be the signature men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches. The women's Money in the Bank match features six competitors: Alexa Bliss , Roxanne Perez, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Naomi, and Rhea Ripley. The field offers a balance of veteran talent and new contenders. On the men's side, Seth Rollins leads the lineup alongside LA Knight, Andrade, Solo Sikoa, Penta, and El Grande Americano. Rollins, who previously won the Money in the Bank match in 2014 and cashed in successfully at WrestleMania 31, enters as the favorite. These ladder matches will determine which male and female competitors receive future championship match opportunities at a time and place of their choosing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mouth Wrinkles Are No Match For This Little-Known Drugstore Wrinkle Cream Lift & Firm Undo Title defense and tag team match round out the Inglewood card In the lone championship bout on the card, Lyra Valkyria will defend the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch.

Swifties blamed for Travis Kelce interview leak as Bussin' With The Boys crew relives ‘hacked' moment
The Bussin' With The Boys podcast team faced a major setback when their unreleased interview with Travis Kelce was leaked online (Getty Images) In a surprising and chaotic turn of events, the Bussin' With The Boys podcast crew recently opened up about a behind-the-scenes disaster involving their unreleased interview with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce . According to the show's editors, a leak of the unlisted YouTube interview caused panic within the team—and they believe Taylor Swift's passionate fanbase may have been behind it. Travis Kelce interview clips mysteriously leak before release, sending podcast team into panic On a recent episode of Back of the Bus, a spinoff of Bussin' With The Boys, crew member Mitch recalled the shocking moment when footage from their yet-to-be-published Travis Kelce interview surfaced online. 'He was so big that we kind of got hacked. We weren't recording with Travis at the time. Clips started hitting Twitter, 10-minute clips,' Mitch recounted. 'You look at me, and you were like, 'Did you post the episode?' I'm like no.' Mitch had uploaded the interview as an unlisted video on YouTube—a common practice for internal sharing before a video officially goes live. However, even unlisted videos can be viewed if someone obtains the direct URL. Somehow, Swifties—Taylor Swift's notoriously tech-savvy and devoted fandom—appeared to have found it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

Jack shows me these videos on Twitter, and I'm like, What did I do wrong? I had to go tell Will and Taylor. I don't know what happened, but somehow the episode was leaked. I don't know how somebody got the URL. Swifties hacked us,' Mitch concluded. Swift's fans are known for their unmatched online detective skills. From tracking her private jet to decoding song lyrics, Swifties spare no effort in supporting—and sometimes protecting—their queen. When Swift started dating Kelce nearly two years ago, their attention naturally extended to every detail of his public appearances and media engagements. In this case, their deep-dive internet sleuthing may have inadvertently compromised a podcast team's entire rollout strategy. Despite the chaos, the Bussin' team had nothing but praise for Kelce and his team, even giving a shout out to the New Heights podcast, which Kelce co-hosts with his brother Jason. They specifically acknowledged their respect for New Heights' social media producer, Jake Chatzky—known online as Jets Jake—for how he handles their digital content.
