An Indian woman living in Sweden has sparked an online discussion after participating a videotape about how life in India is" more accessible" compared to Europe. The videotape, which has now gone viral, questions whether shifting to a foreign country truly offers a better life or if the idea is just a romanticized dream.

India is just further accessible

In the videotape, the woman shares her particular gests, pressing everyday conveniences in India that she misses while living in Sweden. She mentions how her friend in India can get groceries delivered within twinkles, whereas she has to walk further than 10 twinkles just to reach the nearest machine stop for shopping.

She also points out the difference in medical availability. In India, drugs can be delivered to your doorstep, while in Sweden, apothecaries near beforehand in the evening, making it delicate to get critical inventories. She further adds, A lot of these small effects are not talked about enough, so you kind of romanticize this idea of living abroad just from what you see on social media, which is veritably deceiving. Despite her compliances, she clarifies in the caption that she still loves living in Sweden. Social Media Reacts


 India surely offers a luxury life for a middle- class

The videotape snappily gained traction, with numerous people participating their studies in the commentary. One stoner asked, When are you returning? intimating that she might be better off moving back to India.
Another person wrote, India surely offers a luxury life indeed for a middle- class family. In Europe or the UK, you have to be fully independent. But India has its own advantages, especially convenience. still, abroad does offer fiscal security, law enforcement (although that’s debatable), and better air quality.

The ongoing debate

The videotape has opened up a larger discussion about the pros and cons of living abroad. While numerous Indians dream of settling in a foreign country, this discussion raises an important question do the struggles of independence, rigid schedules, and a different life overweigh the gratuities of convenience back home?
