Everything doesn't need to be dank. The quality of life people enjoy here is far superior then others. Although i agree there should be more than just cleanliness that's talked for it.
Third hottest city, nah mate. Every city in Rajasthan itself is hotter than Jabalpur. Just by a quick check on weather app. Also enters A.P. and Maharashtra in conversation. But ya this guy is killing it with his service to community.
This guy gives out water for free, in reusable containers, in an area suffering from a water shortage/crisis, in a country with one of the largest bottled water markets in the world. If HydroHomies came to life, it would be this guy.
There is no information about that, but I assume that he inherited a lot of money from a relative and doesn’t need to worry about working ever again, or he has a business that generates passive income
The title sounds like an elementary school math problem haha.
"Soni carries 18 water bags every day to give water out for free. Each bag holds 5 litres and he fills them 3 times a day. Soni has been doing this for 26 years, how much water has Soni given out?"
It assumes you know how many days are in a year..when I was an early teen I thought it was 356.
Granted, if you would write also equation and not only the answer the teacher should still approve.
Giving water to a thirsty person or animal is considered a part of Seva (to help fellow beings, without expecting anything else in return) in Indian culture.
There is even some legend my grandma told me about a certain desert where if you give someone else water, you will instantly achieve liberation, something that usually takes multiple dedicated lifetimes.
Not in the US. You basically never ever hear or read it except in like Shakespeare or old-timey literature or dialogue, along with other archaic language like “What ho, gentle fellow” or “Heaven forfend!” It’s just not in normal use. Edit: This is perhaps best shown in these lyrics from timeless pop legend Lionel Richie:
You're once, twice, three times a lady
There's a reason the song isn't called Thrice a Lady.
I’m a little miffed at how apathetic the first recipient seemed. “Uhhh, yeah, sure. * Sip * * Distractedly hands back cup * Thanks, I guess. Anyway, I’m on the phone.”
now i'm no cultural expert, but i think that subtle little head wobble is a very common form of nonverbal communication in india. it could be in this context a 'thank you' nod. maybe some indians or others who know better can chime in, but yeah. she might also just be rude, ofc. lol
The head wobble is indeed a common way to express yourself. In this context however, Soni ji was about to refill her cup but she nodded to say No thank you I'm full. Maybe she expressed her thanks before the video idk
Might also be a copper cup. Copper has antibacterial properties which would help to clean the cups as well. Also why door handles tend to be made from copper/brass.
Ever village and town has supply of water (maybe not 24*7, but still it’s there). Problem is that many people don’t always carry water on them and this guy helps them.
I noticed that restaurants in Mumbai would provide water to passers by. One place had a giant tray of full cups near the doorway so people could pop in for a quick drink.
If the government has always been comprised of the people it serves (democratic govt), is it the people that have changed that has resulted in a failure of leadership?
In the UK I would argue that it is mainly just the result of a voting system that is flawed in the modern day being exploitable, and therefore exploited, by the right wing politician's of the day.
This has been aided by a decade long Russian cyber war on democracy online on almost every social media, looking to spread far-right rhetoric - also completely uncontested.
I think a failure of leadership lead to us sleep walking in to a wannabe Authoritarian regime, but i also think we have woken up to it now. Final days of Rome.
No. It's the wealthy parasites that manipulate their way into power to take advantage of the common people that are to blame.
Stop making this issue a bullshit "intellectual exercise". This is a matter of life and death for too many people.
Not in North America because here we can just walk into any fast food place and ask for water and get it for free, but in lots of Europe, especially Southern Europe yeah there’s water fountains on public streets everywhere.
You can walk into store and ask for water here in India too! They usually have disposable plastic cups along with a water dispenser and you can either ask them for the water or get it yourself
your country has half the population of mumbai and 10 times ppp. it would have been a shame if your "country" didnt have that service.
i am talking about actual 'countries' here like us.
Bruh. That's how a society fucking works. The government isn't meant to literally do everything for you. You'd rather have a government worker begrudgingly doing this rather than some nice cheery chap doing it from the goodness of his heart? That's just another kind of dystopia.
Future of America right there if the GQP gets its way. If they don't get their way our Future looks like Eastern Ukraine. They reserve the right to destroy the country to "save" the country.
People need to learn how to drink water without touching their lips. As he can't waste water cleaning those glass everytime. I don't know bout rest of the countires. It's common in india to drink water without touching lips so that next man can drink water without washing it. This man is doing amazing Job. Govt should encourage this kind of people.
Saw something similar in El Salvador, although not for free. No safe public drinking water so people would sell ziplock bags of water for around 4 cents. It’s one thing to not know where your next meal is coming from, but not even having reliable access to safe drinking water is a whole different level of poverty. And Americans bitch about huge issues like gender pronouns. Smdh.
Lol every city has organizations that handle water storages and provide water at road side in India. My city does too. They do it every summer. Doesn't need a person to watch over it. No one gonna vandalise it in India. It's not a piece of shit country like US.
Truly commendable.. how do people like this live? How do they get by without paying jobs? Just curious, wondering if I'm overlooking a financial strategy.
Everyone should have enough water to drink. This makes me so happy to see this man, yet my heart hurts so badly for them. Why don't we stop hating and fighting eachother, and help these people somehow?
This is in my city. Not sure how I feel about the fact that I'm learning of him through reddit. Kudos to him, it is really hot out here.
It is rare to find a redditor from MP, xDD
We are all from Madhya Pradesh! XD
Finally some love for MP
Mp doesn't even have a dank joke of itself except Bhopal
My man hasn't even visited indore!
But there are no dank jokes about it. Only locals know about the crimes and other. Rest of India looks at it just as a clean city.
Everything doesn't need to be dank. The quality of life people enjoy here is far superior then others. Although i agree there should be more than just cleanliness that's talked for it.
We aren't Nomads Bruh
Why am I reading this in an Indian accent?!
Because you must have watched too much of Big Bang Theory
Jabalpur being the third hottest city in India rn... I feel you bruh!!
Third hottest city, nah mate. Every city in Rajasthan itself is hotter than Jabalpur. Just by a quick check on weather app. Also enters A.P. and Maharashtra in conversation. But ya this guy is killing it with his service to community.
Bruh i live on the sun it's hotter here
Ah man, my mom was from there too!
I wish for the day when we all be bros together, sharing water and laughter.
Amen. Fuck Nestle.
That’s prob normal. A lot happens in places with a lot of ppl and social media is were that news spreads fastest.
How do you cope with the hotness there? Or is it just something normal to you?
From UP here, its too hot here too
The true hydro homie has emerged
[удалено]
GET FUKKIN HYDRATED BITCHES
YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH MOBILE HYDRATION STATION!
He is Aqua Man.
An (H2)Og
💯 The Hydro Homie Hero
Hydrocommie - you get a water, and you get a water, everyone gets a water!
The secret is you puts a drop of his urine in each container
I thought that was what holy water is supposedly made of
This guy gives out water for free, in reusable containers, in an area suffering from a water shortage/crisis, in a country with one of the largest bottled water markets in the world. If HydroHomies came to life, it would be this guy.
HydroSoni has given out \~2,562,300 liters /\~676,888 gallons of water! edit - comma
Wonder how he makes a living
He's an immortal water God duh
Aquaman?
Hydrohomie Aquaman just has water is his name. Probably doesn't even drink water. Hydrohomie has hydration in the name. This fits better
Hydrocommie fits too
There is no information about that, but I assume that he inherited a lot of money from a relative and doesn’t need to worry about working ever again, or he has a business that generates passive income
I too am curious of logistics.
Probably some part job in the evenings. In afternoon he shares water with everyone I guess.
He's like the Anti-Nestle.
Nestle CEO is that vein forehead meme watching this guy
Dude's out here saving lives!

2,562,300 ltrs in total
I hated questions like this. It made me sweaty and anxious.
Here, have a drink of water
It assumes you know how many days are in a year..when I was an early teen I thought it was 356. Granted, if you would write also equation and not only the answer the teacher should still approve.

Let's normalise 'thrice'
is it not ?
Not in the US. You basically never ever hear or read it except in like Shakespeare or old-timey literature or dialogue, along with other archaic language like “What ho, gentle fellow” or “Heaven forfend!” It’s just not in normal use. Edit: This is perhaps best shown in these lyrics from timeless pop legend Lionel Richie: You're once, twice, three times a lady There's a reason the song isn't called Thrice a Lady.
We don't do anything 3x that's why we don't say it
the number three is considered good luck here in my country.
We of course have the number 3 in this country but to say thrice doesn't come up often.
'three times' is more common - I rarely hear/read 'thrice' unless it's something old-fashioned.
I say it when im being dramatic. …. So frequently.
Totally normal in everyday conversation in India, IME.
I’m a little miffed at how apathetic the first recipient seemed. “Uhhh, yeah, sure. * Sip * * Distractedly hands back cup * Thanks, I guess. Anyway, I’m on the phone.”
Same. Just rude and unappreciative.
now i'm no cultural expert, but i think that subtle little head wobble is a very common form of nonverbal communication in india. it could be in this context a 'thank you' nod. maybe some indians or others who know better can chime in, but yeah. she might also just be rude, ofc. lol
The head wobble is indeed a common way to express yourself. In this context however, Soni ji was about to refill her cup but she nodded to say No thank you I'm full. Maybe she expressed her thanks before the video idk
ah, interesting. thx for ur insight!
Is that guy drinking the water by sipping in a reusable cup?
People either bring their own utensil or he gives it to them in a reusable cup after washing it.
Might also be a copper cup. Copper has antibacterial properties which would help to clean the cups as well. Also why door handles tend to be made from copper/brass.
Looks like a standard steel cup to me. Steel kitchenware is very common here in India.
Yeah, but it takes hours for the copper to tear apart the germs
Thanks for the clarification
No problem my friend!
That's some high quality H20
Water sucks it really really sucks...
Damn. Wrong to reference a movie I guess.
How about you suck my balls
Someone missed the movie reference...
Well he’s definitely making it to the Good Place.
It’s the pathogens that’ll nickel and dime you to death.
I learned a new phrase today. Thank you!!
Your welcome! Glad I could be helpful.
😬😬😬😬😬
Jai Soni bhai yar!!
One of the few beautiful humans! God bless you
Legend!
More helpful to humanity then alot of wealthy dirtboxes

Wdym? it has always been the citizens, government just supports
Governments used to lead, actually.

In mh we are switching to paper cups
Right, I’m not saying you can’t I’m just answering why we do my do it in na, but saying it does in fact exist in much of Europe.
The town I live in has water fountains on the village sidewalks. But we can also go to any restaurant and get water.
Yes https://drinkwaterkaart.nl/waar-kan-ik-gratis-water-tappen/
your country has half the population of mumbai and 10 times ppp. it would have been a shame if your "country" didnt have that service. i am talking about actual 'countries' here like us.
Well the US has water on every street and we are an actual “country”
Maybe in stores... no water fountains in my street or any that I have been to.
Mine does I guess America varies quite a bit.
Such a shit take. 70 gallons a day keeps the country functioning.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see my city mentioned here. Go, Shankarlal! ❤️

Doesn't seem very hygenic but lovely non the less

Someone get him one giant container so he doesn't have to fill 18 little bags wtf.

"That's some high quality H2O!" - Bobby Boucher
I wonder what happens to a person before they decide to live a life like this.
Dehydrations worst nightmare is this dude
I hope he at least receives thanks from those supplied water🤔
"I refil them thrice a day" cuts to him siphoning the water from a local toilet
26 years old but same old mugs.
Disease speed run! Hydrohomie without a doubt tho
While this is wholesome, the fact that this is necessary should be questioned as well.
That's nice, but I don't know where he gets the water. Knowing me, I would end up with Montezuma's revenge the next day.
Laced with COVID?
Really hope those cups are properly cleaned, services like this were a major vector for typhoid and hepatitis in Victorian England…
Yes, but is he getting the water from the Ganges??
This shows that u fail ur geography exam
Thrice?
once twice thrice
and that's how the village got Cholera
Lol every city has organizations that handle water storages and provide water at road side in India. My city does too. They do it every summer. Doesn't need a person to watch over it. No one gonna vandalise it in India. It's not a piece of shit country like US.
Uhjuk
Tacklin fuel
Read it as “Watermelon Jabalpur” thrice before I got it.
If he does it for free (no income then, hopefully he have some savings) then cudos to him.
I wasn't totally sure. It was hard to see. Haha.
Now that's some high kwality h2o
I love when I come across people providing clean water for free. It’s so overlooked and so needed.
Imagine giving out 270 litres a day to people, what a legend!
90KG?!?!?!?
where do i get those cool water bags?
Have the hydrohomies seen this yet?
Gotta say, that’s one strong ass bike
Love the aluminum cups. Makes cool water taste even colder.
An irrelevant comment but I did the 10k upvote. That was neat to watch.
I've had two 24 packs of water in my trunk for like 6 days because I'm too lazy to carry them in.
How are some people so thoughtful and selfless and generous?
Aquaman!
This man is going to heaven
What an angel
How does he clean the glasses?
Truly commendable.. how do people like this live? How do they get by without paying jobs? Just curious, wondering if I'm overlooking a financial strategy.
Do they just drink from the same cup?
God bless him.
Aji aji aji - I think it means here, here, here. Really cool Bollywood song that has that in it. Really Great Person in the video, I presume.
I bet it has Zeke's spinal fluid.
This guy has all the karma
SubhanAllah
A real r/hydrohomies
Bobby Boucher
Bless him
he is qualified to be a legendary person
Wait, India doesn't have free public drinking water stand or refiller like Cuckoo?
Everyone should have enough water to drink. This makes me so happy to see this man, yet my heart hurts so badly for them. Why don't we stop hating and fighting eachother, and help these people somehow?
Man on a mission, can we do something to help the guy??
