The speaker, Titu, begins by reflecting on the current situation in the nation, particularly the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. He then shares a heart-wrenching story of a middle-class family who were rendered jobless due to the lockdown. The family, consisting of an electrician and a house help, have been struggling to make ends meet, with no other breadwinner in the house. They have tried various methods to get back home, but have been unsuccessful. The family is also grappling with the loss of their income and the need to pay their rent.
Titu then discusses the struggles of farmers and workers, who are dealing with the lockdown and the impact on their livelihoods. He criticizes the society for being self-involved and not helping those in need. He also highlights the plight of the transgender community, who are often marginalized and discriminated against.
The speaker then introduces a guest who sells milk in different colonies. Despite the lockdown, the milk is often wasted due to the closure of colonies and the difficulty of getting inside. The guest also shares their experience with customers, who have changed their attitude towards them since the lockdown.
