00:45In my purse, there's Itanagar.

00:47No, zero. Zero.

00:49Zero means Itanagar.

00:51It can come from a bus or a sumo.

00:53How much does it cost? Maybe 1000?

00:55From Itanagar to Kamla district.

01:43You have to give mithun to a girl

01:45to get her married.

02:37I don't wake up in the morning.

02:39I wake up at 9.

02:41Then I go inside and start vlogging.

02:43We used to bathe here.

02:45We used to jump from here.

02:47This is how we spend our time.

02:49We do what we do in the day.

02:51We don't show anything fake.

03:43The vegetables in the locality

03:45taste very different.

03:47If you go to the capital

03:49and eat the same vegetables,

03:51the taste will be different.

03:53Because of the pollution,

03:55it doesn't taste good.

03:57You can break it in the jungle.

04:13That's the only piece of land

04:15in Tamil Nadu.

04:17It's private.

04:19There's a bridge and a river.

04:21If you grind the rice

04:23and eat it, it's very tasty.

04:25If you cook it and eat it,

04:27it's also tasty.

04:29Try it.

04:31If you come to Arunachal,

04:33cook bamboo rice and eat it.

04:35You won't feel like giving it to anyone.
