​American woman lists great 10 things about India which is missing in her country

Today India offers accessibility to everyday essentials with ease and affordability as compared to other Western nations be it next door access to medical stores or the cost-effective services. Recently, an American woman (@kristenfischer3) shared a video on Instagram talking about her amazement and appreciation for the thoughtful ways the nation caters to its people, making their lives simpler and more economical. In the viral video, she talks about the contrast between the US and India based on 10 things that are missing in her country and are available right at the ease of your foot or hand in India, here are those 10 things.

2/11

Lightning-fast delivery apps

She says that India’s delivery apps are a marvel, bringing groceries, meals, and essentials to her door in mere minutes. The speed and efficiency surpass anything she’s experienced back home.

3/11

Maximum Retail Price (MRP)

Products in India display their maximum retail price (MRP), to make sure about fair and consistent pricing everywhere. Unlike in the US, where prices can vary unpredictably, according to her this transparency simplifies shopping.

4/11

Probiotics prescribed with antibiotics

For the first time, a doctor prescribed probiotics alongside antibiotics to protect her gut health. She admires this complete nature of healthcare practice, which she hadn’t encountered before in the US.

5/11

No junk mail

Junk mail is virtually non-existent in India. The absence of unsolicited ads in her mailbox is a refreshing break from the daily bombardment of wasteful flyers she experienced in America.

6/11

Vegetarian-friendly dining options

India’s diverse culinary scene caters extensively to vegetarians. She says that with fully vegetarian restaurants and diverse veg options, dining out is a treat compared to the limited choices in the US.

7/11

Skilled labour at affordable costs

SHe says that in India, hiring skilled labour is budget-friendly and efficient. From household repairs to specialised tasks, finding help is easy. This contrasts with the high costs and DIY culture in the United States.

8/11

Free waste removal in Delhi

Delhi’s musical garbage trucks provide free, community-driven waste removal. She says that this vibrant system completely removes the expense of waste removal services that she was accustomed to in the US, this also makes the city life smoother.

9/11

Easy Access to doctors and medical stores

No appointments? No worries. India's healthcare system provides walk-in consultations and medication without prescriptions. She says that they have been pitting this against the US's long waiting lists; she finds the system surprisingly accessible.

10/11

Autos and rickshaws

India's ever-present rickshaws provide speedy, cheap, and convenient transport. Without the worry of driving or parking, anyone can use them for daily trips. They've become a symbol of affordable urban mobility.

11/11

Digital Payments and UPI

Unified Payment Interface (UPI) enables smooth, cashless payments in India. With her phone alone, the American woman managed her daily expenditure. The ease of UPI has helped her with its international possibilities in transforming the entire digital paymentscape, rendering wallets unnecessary.
