Kindness is alive in Delhi by u/tedlassoo0 in delhi

User u/tedlassoo0 posted on Reddit that his mother misplaced her phone in the parking lot of a mall in Delhi's Nirman Vihar, where they had gone to attend a movie. The man's sister unintentionally dropped the phone and only realized it after they had already taken their seats in the movie theatre.

"So, last night, I went with my fam to watch a late night movie at V3S Mall in Nirman Vihar. We were a full squad of 7. 5 packed in the car, while my cousin bro and I reached there on a scooty. Now, here's where things went sideways. My sister was holding my mom's phone, and just as she gets out of the car in the parking lot... brain fade... she drops the phone. She doesn't even realize. We all get cozy in the theatre, ready to watch the movie, and suddenly, my sister casually mentions, "Oh, I can't find Mom's phone." I was like chill, car mein rhe gya hoga mobile," the man wrote in the post.

The original poster went on to detail how they were able to rescue his mother's misplaced phone. He stated that after determining that the gadget was not with his sister, they dialed the phone and a stranger answered. The family assumed they wouldn't get it back. However, they were relieved when the stranger promised to return it.

However, when they arrived, they saw that the area was filled with people, even late at night.

The man expressed his gratitude saying, "Super grateful to him. I mean, it's rare to bump into such honest people these days. Also, shoutout to security guard uncle of movie theatre who let us back in again to watch movie."
