Journalists experience food coma during reporting
Two journalists were in West Bengal to report on a story.
A source, Amir Sekh, offered them a meal before the interview.
The meal was rice, dal, and chicken, which seemed simple but was very filling.
After eating, both journalists felt very sleepy and had trouble staying awake during the interview.
The author had to get up and move around to stay awake, while his colleague struggled to keep the camera steady.
This made the interview a bit difficult, but it was also a funny experience for them.
Two journalists accepted a meal from a source in Malda, West Bengal.
The meal consisted of rice, dal, and chicken, which was more filling than expected.
Both journalists experienced a food coma 30 minutes after eating.
The author had to move around to stay awake during the interview.
The colleague struggled to keep the camera steady due to the food coma.
