00:00In a village called Ramkar lived a cobbler named Subhash.
00:05He was very poor.
00:06Subhash used to go from village to village fixing shoes.
00:10He stitched them so well, they looked brand new.
00:14His home had many problems.
00:16But despite the poverty, Subhash never hesitated to help others.
00:23One day, Subhash was going home after work when he saw a blind man on the road.
00:29Son, please give me something to eat.
00:34I haven't eaten in four days.
00:38God gave me hands and feet, but took away my eyes.
00:43I can't do any work.
00:45I am forced to beg.
00:47Please help me, son.
00:50Subhash felt pity for the beggar.
00:53He took out some money from his day's earnings and gave it to him for food.
00:58Then, he started walking towards home.
01:02It was already very late.
01:04His wife Madhu was worried for him.
01:07Talking to herself.
01:08Don't know why he is so late today.
01:12He usually comes on time.
01:14Did something wrong happen to him?
01:16I don't know.
01:18While she was still thinking, she saw Subhash coming.
01:23She ran up to him.
01:25Hey, why you are so late today?
01:27Are you feeling okay?
01:29You look really tired.
01:32Subhash told Madhu everything.
01:35And Madhu said,
01:36Yaya, you have taken charge of all the beggars in the country.
01:41We barely have food at home and you, you are busy doing the charity.
01:46No Madhu, I skipped taking a rickshaw to help that blind man.
01:52And you know, from tomorrow, pack me one extra roti.
01:55Don't know why, but helping him brings me peace.
01:59Hope you understand my feelings Madhu.
02:03You are possessed by this charity ghost.
02:06You don't care how we are struggling at home.
02:10Anyway, eat your dinner and sleep.
02:13You must be tired now.
02:15Subhash washed up and sat to eat.
02:18Madhu said,
02:19Our son's birthday is coming up.
02:21You remember, right?
02:22This time, he wants a pair of shoes.
02:25Yes, Madhu, I remember.
02:28That's why I am working so hard.
02:31And giving all your hard-earned money to beggars, I know.
02:35Madhu, you will see.
02:38One day, all this will come back to us.
02:41Helping others never goes waste.
02:44Their blessings will help our son.
02:47Subhash was a cobbler himself.
02:50Yet, he walked barefoot.
02:52He didn't have money to buy shoes for his own son.
02:56But he always helped others despite this poverty.
03:01He always stayed cheerful.
03:04Talking like this, Subhash and Madhu fell asleep.
03:08Next morning, Subhash was getting ready for work as usual.
03:13Just then, his son Maruti came.
03:16Father, you remember your promise, right?
03:19You said you would give me nice shoes for my birthday.
03:24Maruti studied in a government school.
03:26This year, the school had a big race event with a price of 10,000 rupees.
03:31He knew their financial condition.
03:34So, he thought,
03:35If I win the race, our home will be full of joy.
03:42So, he was asking for shoes from his father so that he can prepare for the race.
03:49Subhash was very upset today because today was the day when he was supposed to bring the shoes.
03:57Tired and weary, he was getting back home and he again saw the blind old man.
04:03Subhash went and sat beside him and the blind man said,
04:09Who is it?
04:10Who is there?
04:12Hey Baba, it's me Subhash.
04:14Are you the one who brings me cold water and bread every day?
04:20Are you the same Subhash?
04:23Yes Baba, but today I am really troubled.
04:28How will I face home?
04:31What happened son?
04:34Tomorrow is my son's birthday.
04:37He is asking for a pair of shoes for the first time.
04:41And me, a cobbler.
04:44Can't even give him that.
04:46I am very disappointed.
04:48Don't be sad son.
04:50On your way back home, something magical might happen.
04:56Just have faith on God.
04:58Mark my words.
05:00I don't believe in miracles Baba.
05:02I work really hard, but still can't fulfill my family's requirements.
05:08Don't be sad son.
05:10One day, you'll come here finding me.
05:14Subhash looked at Baba in surprise and said to him,
05:18All right Baba, now I am leaving.
05:21I'll bring your food again tomorrow.
05:23Subhash proceeds towards his home.
05:26But there, he sees something shiny on the road.
05:30When he went closer, he saw a torn and thrown away shoe shining brightly.
05:37Wow, how bright it is.
05:40This would fit Maruti perfectly.
05:44So what if it is torn?
05:46I am a cobbler.
05:47I can fix it and make it like new.
05:50I'll give this to Maruti.
05:52He'll be so happy.
05:53Subhash picked up the shoe and kept it in his bag.
05:57As soon as he reached home,
05:59Father, father, you brought the shoes, right?
06:05Hey son, still awake?
06:07Go to sleep now.
06:09Check your gift in the morning.
06:11Come on, sleep now.
06:13Okay, father.
06:15Maruti becomes very happy hearing his father's words and goes to sleep happily.
06:21As soon as he sleeps, his parents start working on shoes and give it a new form
06:27and keep it near Maruti so that he wakes up happily.
06:32Maruti sees everything but he acts happy when he sees his shoes in the morning.
06:40He tries them.
06:42He feels as if he is on the seventh sky and he has tears of joy in his eyes because of his parents.
06:51He goes to school wearing them and whosoever meets him,
06:55Hey, wow, Maruti. Your shoe looks awesome. Must be expensive, huh?
07:03My dad made it with his own hands.
07:07Wearing his shoes, Maruti goes to school.
07:10Near his school was an upper middle class school.
07:14One of the arrogant student from that school says to Maruti,
07:20Hey, wow, Maruti. Did you stolen these shoes?
07:23No, it's not like that. My dad made it.
07:29I don't believe it. Your father is not rich.
07:33So, it is impossible for him that he will make such shoes.
07:38Anyways, let's wait for tomorrow since tomorrow is our competition.
07:44Let's see your shoes work or not.
07:46Maruti feels very bad and gets angry on him.
07:50He was just about to say something and the school bell rings.
07:55So, he says,
07:56Let's wait and watch.
07:58All the kids there started laughing loudly hearing this and started commenting.
08:04But Maruti remained unaffected because Maruti had prepared a lot for this race.
08:10And today he was wearing his new shoes.
08:13So, he was very happy that day.
08:15And there, just like other days, Subharsh reaches near the blind old man.
08:21Baba, you are right. Yesterday, I met with a miracle.
08:26My son is really happy. Thank you, Baba, for keep my motivation on.
08:31After talking to him, Subharsh goes for his work.
08:46Next day was Maruti's race. So, he could not go to work.
08:50Today, all the villagers were attending the race as such big event was happening for the very first time.
08:58Maruti to his father.
09:00Father, in today's race, entire village children are participating.
09:06Children from nearby villages and cities are also coming to participate.
09:11Please ensure your presence there.
09:13Of course, son. I will come for sure.
09:16Reporters from news channels were also there.
09:19And Maruti wore the shoes made by his father.
09:22He happily reaches the ground with his father.
09:26Many kids were participating in this race.
09:30Some kids were nervous. Some were overconfident.
09:33But Maruti was very confident due to his hard work.
09:38The race starts.
09:40Maruti was running for the first time wearing his new shoes.
09:44He didn't want it to spoil them.
09:46Suddenly, the shoes start shining.
09:49And Maruti finishes the race much before the time.
09:53Everyone gets surprised.
09:56As Maruti wins, all his friends gather around him dancing.
10:00And some reporters ran to Maruti.
10:03Hey Maruti, we want to know how do you feel being a winner of this race?
10:08And who would you like to give the credit for this?
10:12I am feeling very happy.
10:14I want to give the credit to my mother and father.
10:18They woke overnight and made these shoes for me.
10:22These shoes made me win this race.
10:25The cameraman shoots the shoes worn by Maruti.
10:29And all the channels started showing these magical shoes.
10:33These shoes became so famous that in few days,
10:36Subhash gets numerous orders for making the same shoes as Maruti wore.
10:42So, Subhash gets so much work that he doesn't need to go now in search of work to any place.
10:49One day, he suddenly gets reminded of the blind old man.
10:54And he goes in search of the old man.
10:57He doesn't find anyone there.
10:59And on asking people, he comes to know that Baba was not an ordinary person.
11:06Rather, he is a miraculous Baba.
11:09Because of whom, Subhash's life changed drastically.
11:13He gets back happily.
11:15And in few years, he sets up his own shoe factory along with his son.
11:20But he never fails to thank the Baba.
11:24What we learn from this story is,
11:26Goodness never goes to waste.
11:29Helping others is the real magic.
