It’s that time of the year again when Indian households go into full Diwali cleaning mode. Brooms in one hand, a dust cloth in the other, families across the country gear up to clean every corner of their homes to celebrate the festivals. Amid the festive chaos of Diwali cleaning, one man gave social media the dose of laughter it did not know it needed.
A recently viral video shows him sitting atop what seems like an almirah with a broom in hand, only to discover a long-forgotten gem from his school days. Any guesses? It was his 3rd class marksheet!
The text overlay the clip reads, “Diwali ki safai mein 3rd class ki marksheet mil gayi 98.23% aye the.” Yes, you read that right — 98.23%! And the way he reacts? Absolutely priceless.
In the video, the man first looks around in shock, then brings his hand to his face, pretending to cry tears of joy. His exaggerated expressions, combined with playful gestures, make it impossible not to laugh along. The fun part? His expressions suggest that he has got his hands on a Diwali jackpot, making the entire clip hilariously relatable for anyone who has ever stumbled upon old school memories.
Sharing the video, the man wrote, “Academic comeback ki umeed nahi rahi.”
Internet Gets Nostalgic
Fans of the video have flooded the comments with laughs and emojis. Many shared their own childhood report card moments, with one of them writing, “Bhai mere 99% aaye the.” Someone else had a contrasting reaction as he wrote, “Mai to us me bhi fail tha.”
Others joked about experiencing the same pain. One of them commented, “I can feel your pain bro.” Someone else added, “Me watching my toppers ka trophy everyday.” A person added, “Ye downfall sabhi ne dekha hai.” “True and punctual, disciplined,best student award wala medal and certificate bhi mil gaya,” wrote another.
Diwali Surprise For Redditor
But not every Diwali discovery involves a marksheet. For a Redditor, what started as a simple cleaning routine turned into a treasure hunt. While clearing out an old DTH set-top box, their mother stumbled upon a hidden cash of Rs 2 lakh in old Rs 2,000 notes. The twist? Those pink notes had been withdrawn from circulation back in 2023.

In the post titled, “Biggest Diwali Safai of 2025,” the Redditor shared, “During Diwali safai, my mom found Rs 2 lakh in old 2000-rupee notes… hidden inside an old DTH box probably kept there by my desi dad back in demonetisation times. We haven’t told him yet. And please suggest how to proceed further.”
The post featured a photo of stacks of Rs 2,000 notes.
