A video of a Russian woman married to an Indian man and living in Bengaluru has gone viral on social media. In the video, the woman shared a list of things that she finds normal in the country, which others find cringeworthy.
Content creator Yulia took to her Instagram to share her opinion and listed eight Indian habits that surprised her at first but now feel like part of her everyday life.
According to Yulia, these practices, though sometimes viewed as odd by outsiders, brought comfort and joy to her routine. She began by sharing her experience of living with her in-laws, initially finding it unconventional but now appreciating it as a blessing in disguise.
Yulia moved to India 11 years ago after quitting her job in Russia and managed to raise a family and build her business from scratch.
The eight things Yulia listed in her viral video are as follows.
- Live together with the parents-in-law. It is a blessing ( for me at least, as I do not manage things in the house at all)
- Eat with hands. Very, very often it is tastier to eat with your hands! ( btw it is a scientific fact as well)
- Be a bit late. Lol. I’m super ok with people being late by 15-20 minutes. But I keep my meeting gaps and plan accordingly
- Have a lot of domestic house helpers, for everything. Initially, it was strange for me, but you know… it is human nature to look for convenience and honestly being lazy a bit
- Speak a few languages at the same time. I can catch the meaning in Hinglish. So far! But I commit would learn Hindi in 1-2 years max.
- Negotiate. For everything. Almost always. I actually learnt a lot about business, negotiation, and effective communication in India 🇮🇳 It is a superpower.
- Have chai = mix tea with the milk and spices. I was born on the border with Mongolia! Guys, you have to try Mongolian hardcore masala chai
- Dedicate life to love. Everything is about love in India. Every movie and every problem statement is somehow connected to love. India is a very emotional country and you know until it doesn’t go to drama thing, I find it fantastic! We have one life to live.
The video has millions of views, with hundreds of social media users commenting on the list compiled by Yulia. Most of the users agreed with the majority of the points shared in her list, except the first one.
“I support all of them, except the first one. I think it’s up to the couple and whom they choose to be with,” said one user. “The 1st point is rare in Indian households (in-laws not making their DIL do all household chores) u are quite lucky & u definitely chose a good family”, another added.
A third user added: “I love all your points. And I miss India and my family so much.” “Thanks for understanding and sharing to the world that India is about love. Negative people are there but love runs in India’s bloodline,” the fourth one commented.
