Recently, a video showing a young boy making his own tiffin meal, allegedly before dawn, has taken Instagram by storm. In the reel by @life_of_two_boys, we see the child, dressed formally in trousers and a shirt, put together various elements of his lunch box. He opens the refrigerator to take out atta (roti dough) that has already been kneaded and a packet of what seems to be chicken nuggets from the freezer. He places some of the latter in an air fryer. He also opens a packet of instant noodles and allows them to cook for a few minutes.

In the meantime, he rolls out the dough to make a double-layered paratha. One of the layers contains a chocolate spread. He carefully seals the edges of the paratha and then cooks it on the tawa with a little oil. As it roasts, he uses a special slicer to cut through an apple in a single go from the top. He is then seen placing the apple pieces in a bowl of water. Next, he cuts up the paratha into 4 pieces and shows it off to the camera with a thumbs up.
He gets his lunch box out on the kitchen counter and starts filling up its different sections with his prepared food. One locked box contains the instant noodles, while the paratha and nuggets go into separate sections. In the last one, he places some apple slices and a halved piece of sweet corn on the cob. He is seen taking a bite of the paratha and enjoying it before he seals his tiffin box closed. The text on the video simply reads, "It's 4 am. Let's make my 'lunch box'." Take a look below:
