For many Indians living abroad, a parcel from home is never just a delivery. It often arrives packed with favourite snacks, homemade treats and thoughtful gifts, along with the love and care of family members. One such video has touched hearts online after a woman in Canada shared a 20 kg package her parents sent from India, calling it "filled with love."
The video was shared on Instagram by Himani Mistry, who gave viewers a glimpse of everything her parents had carefully packed into the large carton. As she unboxed the parcel, she revealed containers filled with aamras, theplas and several other food items. She also unpacked clothes, accessories and gifts for herself and her husband.
The text on the video reads, "When your daddy and mumma send 20 kg of love and aamras."
