A light-hearted video by an Indian travel vlogger, Nitish Advitiy, has struck a chord with desis around the world. In a video making waves online, he shared that he found himself on a New York to New Jersey bus that felt more like a ride from New York to Chandigarh. The now-viral Instagram reel shows Nitish reacting in disbelief as he realises that almost everyone on board is Indian.
The overlay text on the clip cheekily reads, “New York to Chandigarh—Direct Bus Service,” offering a quirky lens into the growing Indian population in the US.
Vlogger Says, ‘Puri Bus Indians Se Bhari Hui Hai.’
In the video, nitish delivers a humorous voiceover. He was heard saying, “Mai ja raha hu new york se changigarh. Gujrati Bol Raha Hai, Koi Hindi Aur Koi Punjabi. Seems so to me.
After stepping off the bus, he added, “Ye hai NJ Transit bus jo New York se New Jersey logo ke lekar aati hai. Bhai me hairan tha, puri ye bus Indians se bhari hui thi. (This is the transit bus that brings people from New York to New Jersey. Brother, I was surprised; this whole bus was full of Indians.”
Why Does New Jersey Feel Like “Little India”?
In his caption, Nitish provides context for his experience, explaining that New Jersey is home to a large Indian-American community. Middlesex County, especially towns like Edison and Iselin, is a major hub for Indian businesses along Oak Tree Road. This is the reason why the place has earned the nickname “Little India,” thanks to the vibrant Indian businesses and population.
He also mentions, “The New York metropolitan area, which includes parts of New Jersey, also has a high concentration of Indian Americans, with some areas like Jersey City’s India Square being known for their large Indian population.”
The Internet Can’t Stop Laughing
With over 62,000 views and counting, the Instagram reel has sparked a flood of hilarious reactions from social media users.
An Instagram user wrote, “Unity hai bro,” with a laughing emoticon.
“Not New Jersey, this is New India,” joked a user.
Another quipped, “This bus has more Indians than a local DTC in Delhi.”
Some joined in saying, “Just visit Northeastern. After a while, you’ll feel like you’re in Mumbai University.”
“Bus mai koi aur Indian bhi apki video bana kar same baat keh raha hoga (there’s probally another Indian on the bus making a video and saying the same thing),” Another user remarked.
While this video left social media in splits, a few days ago, a woman’s emotional plea to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) left the internet in fury. The woman, currently residing in India, publicly urged to deport her husband, as he was fraudulently seeking asylum in the United States. He accused him of abandoning her and their 7-year-old daughter after moving to the US in 2022.
In her post, she claimed that her husband is now living in California and is eyeing getting a green card. Despite still being legally married to her, she said that he is either in a live-in relationship or attempting to remarry a US woman.
