Elderly Woman’s ‘Mamoj’ Moment Goes Viral On Social Media | Video
In India, very few foods manage to blur the lines between generations, regions, and cultures but momos have done exactly that. Once limited to specific pockets, these dumplings are now everywhere, loved equally by students, office-goers, and grandparents. A recent viral video from Chitrakoot is a gentle reminder of why momos hold such a special place in people’s hearts.
The clip was filmed in Chitrakoot and shared by an entrepreneur who runs a pickle business. While walking around the town, he noticed an elderly woman seated comfortably on a plastic chair, fully focused on enjoying a plate of momos. The happiness on her face stood out instantly, prompting him to strike up a conversation and record the moment.
The video carries a simple text overlay that reads, “I recently went to Chitrakoot and found her eating this." From behind the camera, the man asks softly, “Ye kya kha rahe ho aap?" Without hesitation, the woman replies, “Mamoj." Slightly puzzled, the man asks again, “Manoj?" That’s when the woman laughs, shakes her head, and confidently repeats, “Mamoj." Her innocence and joy quickly won over the internet.
The comments section soon turned into comedy gold. One user joked, “Please don’t eat Manoj." Another wrote, “She eats 100 manoj in breakfast." A third added, “Chitrakoot me manoj kab se milne laga." Brands joined the fun too, with Swiggy Instamart chiming in, “mayonni missing hai."
Beyond the humour, the clip struck an emotional chord. One viewer shared, “Every woman loves to eat momo I guess …. My mom is so obsessed with momo that in every winter she makes momo on alternate days and not just one or two but in bulk… What if my girl and my mom get together?" Another defended the elderly woman’s word mix-up, saying, “Not her fault, food is not from her territory."
The viral moment is proof that momos go far beyond taste. They bring laughter, nostalgia, and a shared sense of joy-no matter your age.
