    Thanks Zuzana. There's another video on the same channel with this same host interviewing a French female person. That person was very observant and was able to spot differences that we (Indians) would had found it commonplace and ignored to point out, had it been us describing those situations. You may find that video too very interesting and insightful.

    Hi Zuzana, In india making a family means getting married is a being responsible that means man will take care of his parents till their last breath in the same way they took care of him when he was born…….and not only his parents even his parents wife parents too in the same way……in India family are important cause it’s treated as the most important responsibility cause mom n dad are treated as resembles of God cause they brought you in the world and every father earn for his kids future it’s a father responsibility……….these things are very different from the world but we love family………Indian society are thousands years old husband and wife are referred as lord Ram and Mata Sita………so Indian society is very much about culture……..for understanding this you need to be a part of it.

    Indian family system is best. It's a tried and tested with far better success rate than western idea of independent and "individual space" system. If you love someone you put them before yourself and taking care of them is love.
    Both system has positive and negative points to it but indian family value system positive points weights the negative.

      It's always how you look at it - indeed there are pros and cons to everything in life. It's also about our values and what you are used to. and at the end of the day we come here alone and we leave alone so it's ultimately our decision about how we choose to live our lives. Families can be very toxic sometimes and not good for your mental health but if you are part of an amazing family it will elevate you. It's hard to judge sometimes.

    Hi Zuzana, I am a Malaysian of Tamil ethnicity. The video you reacted to of Max Chernov's channel is just one of the many great gems that he has on his channel. He is Singapore based and has done a lot interviewing expatriates in both Singapore and Malaysia. Now, he has brought expatriates in India into his sphere of content.
    BTW, the American expatriates in this video has really shared candid stories of his experiences in Mumbai and Delhi. Eastern culture is family centric thus far. Change is certainly inevitable though it may take a very long time for anything drastic. Till then let us enjoy living as family.

    Eastern Europe is more Indic in values than Western Europe. FYI, there is a lot of language cross-section between Sanskrit and Lithuanian. Goes to show how much India has influenced throughout history particularly in Balkans and Nomads of Greece. Culture is India, even China got influenced.

    Why do they say , a friend in need is a friend indeed? If u really love ur parents, u hav to be there when they need something, whats the point of saying i love 100 times in a year bt when they need u , U busy in ur own shit and say that u dont hav time for them...even if the family dynamics r different, an old couple is an old couple. Old people need love , affection and care as much as young people. I cant imagine letting my parents live their old life alone in a big house. I must hav to be there to make their life as happening as they made my life a celebration when i was young. When we were kids ,our parents change their lifestyles only to accomodate us,,, why cant we change us a little to accommodate our old parents? Every independent son, must keep his parents with him , if his parents are retired and bored and old. Humans r social animal, we love sharing space

    FYI: Mumbai people and almost no North, West or East Indian people say 'yes' with that head-nodding he showed. That particular head-nodding 'yes' (side to side with a wobble) mostly done in the four South Indian states, although there might be exceptions. North Indians say yes with a short 'up n down' head nod like most Westerners. Sadly the Southern head nod has become a cliche for all Indians because of the South Indian immigrants in US. Other than this the American guy was spot on as far as Mumbai goes. I watched the original video and he was quite accurate about Mumbai. Saying ahoj to Zuzana and Slovakia from Mumbai 👋🏽🇮🇳🇸🇰

      Interesting perspective. I think we all are different. There are different personality types and everyone gains energy from doing different things. I'd say I'm an introvert naturally but I have always loved to see how extroverted people were so I'm a 'learnt' extrovert. However, when covid happened. I was so happy to be in my room and read books and don't have anyone dragging me out - hence my true nature is really introverted at first.
