    Cylinder Boys

    You’re standing in a clothing showroom. Suddenly someone says "Bhaiya iss size mein XL hai kya?" You're standing close to an unsupervised momo stall. Suddenly someone says "Oye, ek half-plate chicken momos diyo." There are “2 types of Indian men” - the average Indian who looks like a Cylinder Boy and the fancy-looking Rajat Kapoor kinds. Based on our comic "2 types of Indian Men", today we discuss if the concept of Cylinder Boys is real or not -and why we shouldn't be offended when confused with an average Indian man. Presented through the individual lived experiences of Sumit Kumar, Rachit Varma, Anas Abbasi, Shikhant Sablania and Shibin Shaji.
