"More power to youu bhai..May you celebrate your next diwali with your family," wrote one user. "Success is waiting of you sir," commented another. 

"One user wrote, "That's why i always make sure tip them 101 on their personal QR, for some reason it's not common in people to tip in Festive season, and it breaks my heart how numb we have become as a society. Agar khana order karne k paise hai to tipping k bhi rakho! (If you have the money to eat out, keep some for tipping as well.)" said a third user. 

"At Diwali, I was standing in the balcony n thinking about my life... suddenly a Zomato delivery boy on bicycle came to our neighbour's house to deliver. Everyone is celebrating while some are struggling just to get meals," shared another. 

"Every thumbs up show that men are brave and I'm okay," added a fourth user.
