He is a Canadian who has been residing in India for the past six years.

“Me: Trying to open the cooker with one hand right after watching the video!” shared a Twitter user. “A skill that 99.99% of Indians can't master yet. Take a bow!” commented another. “Seeing you put the lid on was a lot more impressive,” posted a third. “I can't do this even with two hands sometimes. So congrats!” expressed a fourth. “Woah! Not sure a lot of Indians can also do this frankly,” wrote a fifth.
