I spent combined total of 5 years in India. I absolutely love India and I really connected with it. returning to the US I find I feel more isolated even though I spent two years in India during covid. It was such a shock with the huge increase in rents and groceries. Finding peace in the chaos was my greatest gift i could return with. I also gained a wonderful honorary family. My blessing that i wish I could always be with.
❤❤ Thanks for compliment even when u visit India a warm welcome once again. If u have time then must visit Patna. I will meet u. Respect for u always.❤❤🎉🎉❤❤
As an Indian, what stuns me about foreigners living here and making India their home is how adaptable they are and how they are willing to embrace it to this extent. It is obviously challenging and difficult but they just make the effort to do it. Nicole is one such person for sure! Great interview, Max.
Also for them job competition and cost of living struggles in their home countries is far greater (US / Europe / even Arabs and African foreigners who settle here) .. Indian local people friends, shopkeepers etc. realise this when they see why these people are not going back permanently? So not everything is green and roses and she is even mentioning the struggle with savings and cost of living as a foreigner in India. So you can imagine the majbooriya!
I don’t think it should “stun” you. After all millions of us Indians form the diaspora today and we successfully live in every part. And conversely as India develops economically we can expect thousands of non Indians to come and settle successfully here in India, and we should welcome it as part of our own transformation.
I equally find it stunning how my south Asian immigrant parents moved to England in the 1980s and lived through the freezing winter and goin through amazing length to adapt to the culture that didn’t understand but were willing to sacrifice.
The worst thing that I can hear as an Indian is a lady being bothered whenever she goes out. These inappropriate touching and "accidents" need to be addressed and stopped. Edit: I wrote "a lady" and not "a lady from any particular country". Statement is meant for all ladies.
@@DrAkashraj in fact we Indian ladies still need family members to travel with us to tourist places in remote or not much developed areas. Travelling to a metro city and when you know which places to visit and which to avoid in a city helps ladies who travel solo for work purposes.
The lady is so down-to-earth and honest, could listen to her all day!! The vide ended abruptly!! All the best o her. చాల సంతొషం she speaks Telugu. ఆవిడకి Indial మంచి అనుభవాలు ఇస్తుందని ఆసిస్తున్నాను.
If you watched the video, somewhere at the start itself she mentioned she knows basic telegu and even their children are fluent, chill out a little bit, in the end we are all humans, I am Indian born and brought up here, my Hindi is very terrible and I don't speak any other language other than English, so does that mean I am not down to earth either?@@rajanmathai
She's a friend and was a colleague. One of the strongest and funniest women I know. She wholeheartedly was part of almost every event at office, cultural and non cultural. She's embraced the land and it's ways with open arms. Loved the interview, she's just fantabulous.
@@shrishri8898I initially studied liberal arts in college but it was my work experience that I used to start my career. I worked in technical support while I was going to school. I took that experience and moved to California where I eventually met my husband. We met at work.
She was frank about her experience. She wasnt biased and also she didnt cook anything about India. She told her experoences honestly. I appreciate this 🙏 interview. In addition to great respect 🙏 to UA-cam channel for making many videos on India.
Really appreciate how true she is in the whole interview I really appreciate how she pointed out the downside of india unlike other youtuber Or interviewer
India is not cheap 😅 TRUE. Its affordable. You get what you pay for. You can get everything here according to your budget. If you want expensive things, you will get expensive. If you want neither too expensive, nor too cheap...you will get that too. So yesss, always keep your budget in mind.
huh. don't bother. I am indian and I have not understood my countrymen either. you find temples overflowing with devotees but come election they elect a party which demolishes temples. i find them very stupidly selfish but very generous to strangers. i gave up trying to understand my own country men.
Wow, great video. I must say Nicole did a fantastic job. I know some Indians are terrible and some places are awful but when you look at the bigger picture, India is as beautiful and diverse as they come and its a hell of journey. Even me being a Native Indian, India is hard for me but people like Nicole who come from comfortable places to India and they still love it. That's just awesome.
Beautiful interview and content. Also salute to Nicole, a small town girl from Dakota to move to a city in India and stay for 18 years and raise a beautiful family. It can test your sanity to the hilt !! 😀
I loved this honest guest. She gave true perspective on all topics and questions that were asked and she did it with utmost respect. I wish her all the best ❤
Thanx Max for yr clips! They mk a comprehensive presentation of the realities. So was the Lady here. We can empathise with her views but one must also appreciate her initial challenges & the ways she handled them. Thank you All!🎉
I really enjoyed watching the full video..the interview was smooth and I loved the experience and comparison shared..she was actually being very honest..
Very honest and straightforward experiences from Nicole.. loved her husband's grandmother kitchen cabinet and her versatile Ganesha painting..never seen that depiction before of Ganesha!!
This interview offers an honest and candid perspective on living in India from a US-born, native American viewpoint. Even for Indians, traveling to new places within the country is a constant learning experience, especially when visiting regions vastly different from one's own cultural background. India's diversity presents a unique challenge, with countless layers and levels of familiarity needed-one lifetime isn't enough to fully grasp it all. The country’s rich cultural tapestry means you’ll meet a wide variety of people, each differentiated primarily by financial status, requiring a customized approach for interaction. There's no one-size-fits-all method here. The interviewee's genuine and unpretentious insights highlight the complexity and beauty of navigating life in India. Her observations are refreshingly honest, reflecting the experiences of many who have lived or traveled extensively in this incredible country.
I believe in future many Americans especially of Indian heritage will shift to India. Right now many elder Americans are shifting to Mexico, Costa Rica after retirement. India along with Vietnam can be a viable option for such Americans in future
@@Master_champ_24 Yes, but it's better to control the rabbit like breeding of people without basic civic sense for that issue. Return of Indian origin people will be an asset.
no it will never hpn, as a indian i can confirm that, here no one knows cleaning, hygiene…..nothing, only poor americans can come here, whats here nothing full of trash, no fresh air, pollution, crowd…..
tq madam amd special regards to ur husband for giving importance to the the father tongue which is telugu apart from english..telugu is pure honey..let the kids learn and enjoy the language and converse with grandparents in telugu
I can imagine for her how difficult it would be to go out on her own. There are some really nice aspects of Indian society but there are some horrible ones. The way Nicole has integrated with India is incredible. She made a huge decision. She made a huge sacrifice. Her love for her husband prevailed.
Max your format of doing interview is very honest and truthful, much appreciative. We do see more content on India, But on Singapore and Dubai are really helpful in understanding whats happening in other places.. Keep up and good going.. Truly remarkable effort..
Disagree. Saw another channel describing how in Singapore you can face criminal charges for offending someone or giving the finger. No civil proceedings. So yeah, things are safe around there if you don’t offend anyone and never mind all eyes on you “90,000 police cameras.” with more planned.
Nicole this was a lovely window to your human experience here in india. The viewer can draw some of who you are and where you come from while also getting to see how that could possibly have contributed to your realistic understanding and assessment the indian experience. Its a new lens through which i see the colleague i barely knew.
Nice interview. As a tour guide I feel much of here observations are very much objective unbiased. My first priority in my profession is the safety of my guests. I do share those worries and one more to be added is toilets and the fear of UTI. Being cautious on these and be prepared to face these situations and having alternatives at the shortest possible time and distance help. Kudos to both of you.
She is more Indian than lot of Indians ...because she is a beautiful human being... Thanks for this beautiful interview...when so many Indians intending to move outside of country...here Nicole reminds us how to deal with this controlled Chaos...cause this is our country .. Thanks for this awesome conversation and perspective...be happy..❤
This lady is adaptable.. living in India and adapting to a different culture and learning husband's language and teaching kids to be adaptable to both USA and Indian lifestyle is encouraging which native urban ladies in India should learn.
This was a very interesting interview, more like conversation you have with your colleagues, I wondered how the time flew for 20 mins, when in some cases its hard to watch even a 7 min video.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing your journey living in India for long. Mostly it's the perspective you build in favor of making your life a part of a place on the planet. However.. for anybody, living in India, in general, is nothing short of a luxury when compared to any geography. Glad to watch this lady who is open and matured. All happiness and love to this wonderful family.😊
I think the way you've raised your children is awesome. Some of my cousins are married to US citizens and they live in the US. I know how hard it is for my cousins to cope up, but they do it for Love. They do it for bonding. They do it for this one beautiful thing called, "Family." I sincerely appreciate you for doing this for your family. You are a true Indo American. Stay blessed.
It was pleasure listening you Ma'am...Admireing the adjustment you did post marriage to settled in India..you are true bridge between east and west..god bless you with happy and healthy life
My husband gave his green card back to the US embassy when he realized he wouldn’t be able to meet the requirements while we were living in India. Would you give up a green card? Would you move back to India after living outside for 12yrs? Let me know your thoughts 😀
ITPL is information technology park ltd . Nothing to do with indian oil. Addendum: ITPL actually stands for the initials of the park holding company, Information Technology Park Limited. Which was original name of property i.e tech park as well. But they renamed property to ITPB International tech park Bangalore when it was sold to ascendas. But holding company is not renamed .
What makes it easy for foreigners to adapt so well to India and its culture is the ever embracing Indian people , we are culturally brought up to ‘atithi devo bhava ‘feeling and we mostly go all out to welcome and adapt to them too , smiles all around !
@MaxChernov #MaxChernov , 🙏🏾 my humble thanks to both of you for putting it straight. Foreign Tourists + expatriates are quite likely to be more receptive to what you convey than if an Indian national puts it. Like any other country, 🇮🇳 India is not perfect, but we love it very much. India keeps the gate open, it is also very welcoming. You must have noticed how liberty, independence and freedom is definitely a very Indian mentality : debates, activists, NGOs and initiatives abound. You understand, like I do, that it takes a remarkably long time to get a message across or to resolve an issue addressing more than 1 billion people ! But over 78 years, we still try to accomplish this; transcending the whole span in educational and socio-economic levels. Thanks for understanding and appreciating our diversity, its benefits too.
I do know she is in Hyderabad, because of family. But Hyderabad ? I am native of Hyderabad. There is nothing around and it is hot. The hyderbad of 60s was cooler and 1000 lakes, all occupied, destroyed
thats why sustainable living even if you have money restrain from buying unecessary things no show off , use natural organic stuff, natural homes more tress , politically active dont allow bangladeshi and rohingays ...tax more than 2 kids people ...twins exceptional
I think what helps foreigners in general is their desire to learn and adapt new cultures. They seem always open to learning new things. I mean genuinely wanting to learn. Where we as Indians (atleast a large part of us) may find comfort in similarities.
You are an ideal woman really. Your cosmopolitan view is of great value for others. We have great veneration for your commitment and devotion. My pranams to you.
My nephew, working in US firm, was called to work there. Two weeks were enough for him there and he returned to India. Even the lure of salary increase didn't encourage him. In short, we have mutual differences and feel alien in such places. America is no better.
America is really nice. I have lived in the US during my training. I hated the first month! But after that!! OMG! I loved it. I cried my journey back home to India! Im sure what your nephew felt is home sickness! Its very common.
It's very subjective. Some people feel very homesick even if they just travel to another city in the same state. Others may prefer better infrastructure or more modernized life style.
I left Sri Lanka for America and I love America and would never return like Sri Lanka is a dump compared to America (for context Sri Lanka and India is very similar)
She has embraced India so India has also embraced her. Yes, as an Indian who has visited the West several times, I think it is v clean but one has to work a lot there. Even a tourist has to walk a lot in the West. I remember on my recent trip to Europe being exhausted at the end of the day.
Lived and worked in Bangalore for 5 years. Wonderful time. Decided to live amongst Indians instead of an all expat compound. Now my wife is Indian so that helped. India is a wonderful country
0:10 Marrying a guy with a village background is so crazy. It is a whole lot easier if it happens to be a guy from the city there is a huge difference between city dwellers and people from small towns or those with a rural.background. No wonder your husband was so conservative.
Absolutely bullshit.. it depends on person to person who is conservative or not.. I'm from a village, and my family is not conservative.. how many examples should I give u for opposite families to what u r talking about. People like u think the village population is uneducated, unethical, and has no brain.. lol you.. how dumb one could speak..
Max, with so many videos on India, you've had soooo many guests talk about "Apps in India for everything". This lady also spoke about Swiggy. Maybe in your next video, you could cover the app ecosystem in India. For example Food- Swiggy, Zomato Travel - Ola uber Urban company! Can't talk about this enough! Everything from carpenter, electrician, plumber to Massages at home. Metropolis - blood tests at home. Payments - Phonepe, Googlepay Porter - intra city delivery 10 min Groceries delivery -zepto, blinkit Practo - online doctor consultation (hidden gem) Apollo, Pharmeasy- medicine delivery Some of my expat friends have taken years to figure this out and we're shocked that these exist
She's speaking truth as she is now adopted to India (her husband's nation). She is very much happy in India with real life experiences ...

Unfortunately, NRIs are not respected by Indians. Why the double standards?
Also for them job competition and cost of living struggles in their home countries is far greater (US / Europe / even Arabs and African foreigners who settle here) ..

So not everything is green and roses and she is even mentioning the struggle with savings and cost of living as a foreigner in India. So you can imagine the majbooriya!

This is something Indian ladies also face, hope people would learn to respect and get rid of doing such cheap things.

@@DrAkashraj in fact we Indian ladies still need family members to travel with us to tourist places in remote or not much developed areas. Travelling to a metro city and when you know which places to visit and which to avoid in a city helps ladies who travel solo for work purposes.

She was not from the city, she said. Maybe it is the reason she is more human ❤

@MaxChernov #MaxChernov , 🙏🏾 my humble thanks to both of you for putting it straight. Foreign Tourists + expatriates are quite likely to be more receptive to what you convey than if an Indian national puts it.
Like any other country, 🇮🇳 India is not perfect, but we love it very much. India keeps the gate open, it is also very welcoming. You must have noticed how liberty, independence and freedom is definitely a very Indian mentality : debates, activists, NGOs and initiatives abound.
You understand, like I do, that it takes a remarkably long time to get a message across or to resolve an issue addressing more than 1 billion people ! But over 78 years, we still try to accomplish this; transcending the whole span in educational and socio-economic levels.
Thanks for understanding and appreciating our diversity, its benefits too.
Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore are the best cities in India followed by Chennai, Ahmedabad and Indore (for foreigners, IMO)
Mumbai is safest place for all even for Punekars😂😂😂
BANGALORE IS NUMERO UNO
@@pramodwarvatkar5337except for Bihaaris and U.P. people.
I do know she is in Hyderabad, because of family. But Hyderabad ? I am native of Hyderabad. There is nothing around and it is hot. The hyderbad of 60s was cooler and 1000 lakes, all occupied, destroyed
thats why sustainable living even if you have money restrain from buying unecessary things no show off , use natural organic stuff, natural homes more tress , politically active dont allow bangladeshi and rohingays ...tax more than 2 kids people ...twins exceptional
I think what helps foreigners in general is their desire to learn and adapt new cultures. They seem always open to learning new things. I mean genuinely wanting to learn. Where we as Indians (atleast a large part of us) may find comfort in similarities.
You are an ideal woman really. Your cosmopolitan view is of great value for others. We have great veneration for your commitment and devotion. My pranams to you.
🙏🏻
wow. so relatable! I've also been here 18 years, married to an Indian man. And I'm also learning something new every day. India is so fascinating.
00:38 this scene is of bajrangi bhai jaan's movie which showing the city of pakistan. That's really inaccurate pick by your editor.
Brilliant !! Its very heartening to see how she evolved as a straight talking Indophile without sugar coating!!
My nephew, working in US firm, was called to work there. Two weeks were enough for him there and he returned to India. Even the lure of salary increase didn't encourage him.
In short, we have mutual differences and feel alien in such places. America is no better.
America is really nice. I have lived in the US during my training. I hated the first month! But after that!! OMG! I loved it. I cried my journey back home to India!
Im sure what your nephew felt is home sickness! Its very common.
Everyone has their own preferences and comfort zones @@SshivamKhopkar
It's very subjective. Some people feel very homesick even if they just travel to another city in the same state. Others may prefer better infrastructure or more modernized life style.
I left Sri Lanka for America and I love America and would never return like Sri Lanka is a dump compared to America (for context Sri Lanka and India is very similar)
@@Commander-leo after going to America u surely do type like an uneducated one 😂😂 is education that illegal in your srilanka and "murica"
This women is a legend. She respectes her husband's language and adopts it to teach her kids is respectable. Kuddos to you girl 💪🙏
Appreciate the effort you made to pass on the language.
I believe the ITPL she talked about is International Tech Park Limited Bangalore.
Glad you liked being in India.
She has embraced India so India has also embraced her. Yes, as an Indian who has visited the West several times, I think it is v clean but one has to work a lot there. Even a tourist has to walk a lot in the West. I remember on my recent trip to Europe being exhausted at the end of the day.
One has to be reborn here to understand it completely.
Such an amazing lady and gave real correct picture of living in India
I saw the notification and thought Nicole uploaded a new reaction video. after clicking on it found it was your video haha.
Wonderful interview on a wonderful channel.
You are sitting at home without shoes, you have learned Indian culture. Welcome sister-in-law
Lived and worked in Bangalore for 5 years. Wonderful time. Decided to live amongst Indians instead of an all expat compound. Now my wife is Indian so that helped.
India is a wonderful country
Great work Max 👍
Love the Ganesh painting!
0:10 Marrying a guy with a village background is so crazy. It is a whole lot easier if it happens to be a guy from the city there is a huge difference between city dwellers and people from small towns or those with a rural.background. No wonder your husband was so conservative.
Absolutely bullshit.. it depends on person to person who is conservative or not.. I'm from a village, and my family is not conservative.. how many examples should I give u for opposite families to what u r talking about.
People like u think the village population is uneducated, unethical, and has no brain.. lol you.. how dumb one could speak..
Max, with so many videos on India, you've had soooo many guests talk about "Apps in India for everything". This lady also spoke about Swiggy. Maybe in your next video, you could cover the app ecosystem in India. For example
Food- Swiggy, Zomato
Travel - Ola uber
Urban company! Can't talk about this enough! Everything from carpenter, electrician, plumber to Massages at home.
Metropolis - blood tests at home.
Payments - Phonepe, Googlepay
Porter - intra city delivery
10 min Groceries delivery -zepto, blinkit
Practo - online doctor consultation (hidden gem)
Apollo, Pharmeasy- medicine delivery
Some of my expat friends have taken years to figure this out and we're shocked that these exist
