A woman in Queensland, Australia, has shared CCTV footage of an Indian-origin postman who won the internet with his small act of kindness. The clip has got millions of views and even a like from Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra.
Postman Saves Laundry From the Rain
Verrity Wandel captured the moment on her home security camera. After delivering a parcel, the Sikh postman saw the rain starting to fall. Instead of leaving, he walked over to the clothesline, took Wandel’s sheets off the line and put them inside to save them from getting wet.
Wandel later posted the video online and asked the community to help her identify him so she could thank him. In her caption, she wrote, “I was heading home in the car and the heavens opened and I thought, there goes the sheets But when I got home there was nothing on the line. There on the bench out of the rain is sitting my parcel and my 99% dry washing. We head in to check the surveillance system and this is what we find. 1 in a million this guy is so cool. Can’t wait till my next delivery and I get to thank him.”

Wandel later reposted the clip with a picture of her with the postman, identified as Gurpreet Singh. The heartwarming video got a lot of love online with many users praising his kindness.
One user commented, “Beautiful randomness of kindness. Very rare these days.” Another wrote, “Heart of Asians. It might be 1 in a million in your country, but it’s part of our culture here in Asia. Glad you get to experience this beautiful culture.”
