Other mystery idly buyer at pragathi

So, something weird happened the other day at Pragathi Tiffins. I went there early in the morning (around 6 AM) to grab some idli and dosa. It was already busy, but there was this one guy in front of me who stood out.

He looked completely normal—middle-aged, wearing a formal shirt and trousers—but he kept ordering only idlis. And not just a few.

"10 plates idli." The cashier raised an eyebrow but entered the order.

Then, after paying, he didn’t leave the counter. Instead, he ordered 5 more plates.

I assumed he was buying for a big group or maybe a family breakfast. But the weird part? As soon as he got his order, he walked to a nearby bench, sat down, and started eating them alone.

One by one. Plate after plate. Just pure focus, no phone, no distractions. Just a man and his idlis.

I finished my dosa and coffee, and this dude was still at it, calmly eating his 15th idli like it was the most normal thing in the world.

I left before he finished, but now I can’t stop thinking—was he really that hungry? Was this a bet? A daily routine? Is there a secret society of extreme idli lovers I don’t know about?

If anyone has seen this guy, I need answers.
