The founder and chairman of Vedanta Resources Limited, Agarwal wrote on Twitter, "As you all know, english isn't my first language but i understood the meaning of the word 'homesick' when i had to leave Bihar for work. There aren’t enough words to explain my love for this place. Yahan ki har baat duniya se hat kar hai. Jaise hi Bihar ka road sign dikhna shuru hota hai, i just get so happy (Everything here is unique. As soon as the road signs of Bihar start appearing, I just get so happy)."
"The first thing I did was eat 'Litti' with 'Dhania chutney' aur 'Baingan-Chokha', just awesome. I still remember, during the winters all the kids would sit around the fire and help the elders make 'Litti-Chokha'. I have seen the whole world and there is no better food than this," the 69-year-old industrialist wrote.
