‘Reserve that table forever’: Sunita Williams’ Falooda break in Kerala goes viral |
From floating in zero gravity to sitting down for a chilled dessert in Kerala, Sunita Williams’ latest moment has the internet smiling.The Indian-origin astronaut, who recently retired from NASA, was spotted at a small falooda shop in Kozhikode – and the video has been making the rounds ever since. In it, she’s dressed simply in a peach T-shirt, chatting with people around her, and happily digging into a tall glass of falooda.For those unfamiliar, falooda is a classic Indian cold dessert drink made with sweet milk, vermicelli noodles, basil seeds, rose syrup and ice cream. It’s messy, colourful, and wildly comforting – the kind of treat you usually save for a hot evening or a celebration.
The clip was shared by the outlet, Falooda Nation, and quickly crossed close to four million views. “An unreal moment we’ll never forget,” they wrote, clearly still in shock. “From space to our store – we’re so proud we got to serve her.”The comments section turned into a love fest almost instantly.Someone wrote, “The one who taught me to dream as high as the sky.” Another joked, “Reserve that table forever,” while a third pointed out how effortlessly grounded she seemed despite everything she’s achieved. And that’s what struck people the most. Here’s a woman who has lived aboard the International Space Station, walked in space, led missions – and yet looks perfectly at home enjoying a local dessert with strangers.Williams wrapped up her NASA career after 27 years, with three space missions and several records to her name. NASA chief Jared Isaacman called her a trailblazer who shaped the future of space exploration and opened doors for the next generation.But for the internet this week, she wasn’t an astronaut or a legend.She was just Suni, enjoying a falooda in Kozhikode – and somehow, that felt even more special.
