And now I’m going after these 4 days to check if they are still there. I mean, it’s not their fault, my father forgot to take them, so just let’s see if still they are there,” she said in the clip.The video then showed her entering the shop and enquiring about the medicines. “A paper bag which you just packed…” she said. The shopkeeper immediately responded, “Yes, yes, yes!” After receiving the packet, she thanked him and walked out of the store visibly happy.Walking out of the shop, Kalra said she was shocked that the medicines had been kept safely for her. “Okay, I have my medicines. They were waiting for me there since 4 days. Uh… you know, it’s so much shocking for me. Like, India is such a big country, is so much populated also, and still like after 4 days I just came there and this things were waiting for me. Wow,” she said.As she shared the clip on Instagram, she added the caption: “I just love India for this. I bought some medicines and I forgot to put them to my bag, I left them in the chemist. As I wasn’t in town, I went to collect them after 4 days and I really didn’t expect this will happen. My medicines were kept on the side, waiting for me. I’m shocked that in such a big country like India with so much population, still such things are happening.”
Social media reactions
The Polish woman’s video gained massive praise online from viewers.“Yes this positive side of India will not go viral, the algorithm is designed in such a way!” a user commented.“This is so normal…. Even vegetable vendors sweets or any other shops the keep it aside. Once I forgot my mobile at a pharmacy, I called to say I have forgotten my mobile, the owner said, “yes, some other customer noticed it and gave it to me. You may collect it anytime. I am keeping it with me”,” added another.“Once, I needed some medicines that were not available at the store at that time. The chemist took my number and address and delivered them to my home by evening, saying that his house was on the same route. He didn’t need to do that, but he still did,” one added.“Happy to see you happy. Most Indian people are kind and always ready to help,” a user shared.
