Is she praising or criticising? Why did so many millions follow because of their foolishness? She is undermining the Indians and holding her nation high, which is OK as far as she is concerned. But she ought to have said that she used only paper towels in RR while Indians wash and keep clean also. The cancer ratio is so high there but Indian spicy food keeps them better. While donations to conversion is the motto there, silent entries in Indian sanatana by them are in large numbers. If it is so hot here, it is bitterly cold there and the cold hampers health. So ignore them. Right to speech is misused by many like stalin etc so too the lady . Its OK KR IRS 61225

In a now-viral Instagram post, Anna Haakenson, a mother of two, said she knew India would be different, but she did not have the exact idea how contrasting the two nations might actually be. >From food to the nature of people to how inexpensive living in India was, Haakenson touched upon several topics that have struck a chord online. Here Are The Nine Differences Listed By The American Family: - Honking: In America, honking means someone is about to lose their mind, but in India, a honk means, "Hi, I am here, look out, thanks". - Food: In America, spicy means mild heat, but in India, spicy could cause some digestive issues, especially for foreigners. - People: In the USA, people pretend you don't exist. In India, people will absolutely ask where you are from, where you are going, and why. - Trash: While trash is placed in trash cans in the USA, the same can't be said about India, where it goes wherever the nearest person decides. - Cars: Driving your own car is the default, and you follow the traffic laws in US, but India has controlled chaos on the road that outsiders would not understand. - Weather: America - winter, spring, summer, fall in most places; India: hot, monsoon, and "surprise extra heat" season. - Religion: America - Mostly catholic churches and quiet gatherings; India: Temples everywhere and festivals that take over entire cities. - Affordability: Haakenson said everything is expensive in the US but in India, everything was manageable. - Family: America - Single-family living; India - multiple generations under one roof Check The Viral Post Here: Also Read | NRI Returns To India From Canada After 5 Years, Says 'Couldn't Take It Anymore' <https://www.ndtv.com/offbeat/nri-returns-to-india-from-canada-after-5-years-says-couldnt-take-it-anymore-9747944> 'It Is True' As of the last update, the post had garnered nearly four million views and hundreds of comments as the social media users shared some of the points that the American family may have missed. <https://vdo.ai/contact?utm_medium=video&utm_term=ndtv.com&utm_source=vdoai_logo> LATEST No Luggage, Food, Stay: IndiGo Fliers' Nightmare After 500 F <https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/indigo-flights-delayed-thousands-of-fliers-wait-for-luggage-without-food-indigo-flight-cancellations-chaos-at-airports-9754226?utm_campaign=v-ndtv&utm_medium=ticker&utm_source=vdoai_ticker> 550 IndiGo Flights Cancelled, A New Record For 20-Year-Old A <https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/550-indigo-flights-cancelled-today-a-new-record-for-20-year-old-airline-9753155?utm_campaign=v-ndtv&utm_medium=ticker&utm_source=vdoai_ticker> New Safety Rules Kicked In For All Airlines.
