Taking things to another level literally, Niraj, the owner of an Indian hotel named ‘Chai Walla’ in the UK loaded a samosa into a helium balloon and launched it across the stratosphere.
Chai Wala is an Indian hotel operating in Bath, UK. The hotel run by Niraj Gadher, an Indian-origin man successfully launched a samosa and a packet of chicken lollipop into space after failing 2 times.
Kather had used helium balloons to implement this idea. His attempt failed the first time before as he accidentally launched the balloon before attaching the samosa. The second time, he ran out of helium.
After launching for the third time, the GPS tracker attached to the camera on the helium balloon seems to have malfunctioned showing that the balloon did not fly. The tracker showed that the samosa was at his home.
However, hours later, Kather found out about the balloon crash landed in France. The package was found in the Picardie area of France.
Kather shared a video of the samosa travelling across the atmospheric layer. Netizens have praised his efforts and congratulated him. Commenting on the balloon idea, Kather said, “I attempted to try to send the samosa into the sky to cheer people up a bit during the Corona era.”
