Many bloggers travel to India and engage in conversation with locals. Some make an effort to assist others, pose inquiries, and create memories while there. Influencer Mariia Chugurova, from Russia, recently posted a video on Instagram detailing her wonderful experience with a local cobbler in India. The charming exchange between Mariia and Vikas, the cobbler, is captured in the film. The audience was impressed by the video.

 

Culture to cuteness

Mariia is seen clutching her shattered sandal in her hands in the widely shared video. She says, "Chappal tut gaya," which translates to "my sandal is broken," to Vikas, the cobbler. Vikas goes to work rapidly mending her sandals. The influencer inquires about the cobbler's name and years of experience while the repair is being done. 

In response, Vikas states that he has been employed for the previous 26 years. Mariia emphasizes during the talk that this kind of service is not available in their nation of Russia: "If you are broke with your shoes, you will walk with your broken shoes." The cobbler's reasonable repair fee of just Rs 10 pleasantly pleased her. With a charming "dhannyavad" (thank you), she thanks you. The cobbler (Vikas) converses with Mariia in fluent English, which is the nicest aspect of the video.

I had to deal with the worst betrayal of footwear today. In the middle of my walk, my reliable slipper had enough and staged a spectacular breakup. Like a lost participant on a survival show, there I was, stranded, one slipper on, one slipper off, trying to figure out my next move.

Man makes India proud

But naturally, India always manages to convert possible tragedies into peculiar adventures," she said as she wrapped up her piece. Here comes my savior for slippers—a man whose ability to mend slippers was so renowned that he might have passed for a superhero in the cobbler community. I laughed so hard that my slipper was back in action in no time at all! Three days have passed since the video was uploaded, and in that time it has received many comments and over 68 million views. The cobbler's talents were commended by online users, who were also pleased by his command of English. One user remarked, "Uncle's English." A second person said, "Respect for uncle."
