A video of a train driver in India stopping before a railway station to buy his favourite snacks has gone viral on social media.
The driver stopped before the Alwar railway station to buy "Kachori," a spicy fried snack, popular in the Indian subcontinent and Asia.
In the video, a person was waiting for the train near a manned railway crossing.
The train stopped, and the waiting person, with a meal in his hand, delivered the food to the train driver and the train started again.
