Although I don’t expect I will visit India I still find it so interesting hearing what not to do in such a cultural different country.

Your videos are aimed at those that intend to visit the country of India as a first timer and very useful. Not once have you said "don't come it's terrible" or anything negative about its people so dont see why you get negative comments. Keep up the good work and enjoy yourself. 👍✌️

For those who complain that he did not talk about UPI, folks understand that UPI is not easy to enable if you are not an Indian. I know it because a lot my Indian relatives have now become citizens of USA and Canada and they say UPI is difficult for them to enable despite visiting Indian several times. Even if they manage to enable it, there is usually a limit 5000 rupees in it. So yes, while UPI maybe the worlds best system, it is only easy if you are an Indian citizen.

The fare screen capture fares are useful

04:15 Tbf it should be noted that there’s madmen like me who are never happier than when stretched out in the lower side bunk of an Indian sleeper train for 24…34…48 hrs😂 Gotta be said I’m more of a 2AC guy than Sleeper Class these days but I’ll do SL before a day happily.

Wait where is this?i guess wherever it is, it doesn't serve beef coz of the very religious vibe it has
Edit: appreciate the great review!

Bro needs a little inaight into UPI tech

[maitreyimandal]

did you talk of our UPI payment system or aadhar card? each and every citizen's of vast 1.4 Billion ppl's biometric data is captured and can be authenticated for many purposes. do you cover our space programs? our engineering prowess? how we have fought COVID pandemic better than many developed countries of the world?
