Ruko main tumko dikhati hoon (People have such strange hobbies, right? And she has the strangest of them all. Wait, let me show you).” She then reveals her friend’s bizarre yet strangely meticulous hobby, where she tapes dead mosquitoes onto sheets of paper. Each mosquito has been given a name like ‘Ramesh’ and ‘Tinku.’ Their time of death (T.O.D), as well as place of death (P.O.D), is also recorded and neatly written beside them. The video had the caption, “Unique hobby.”
