An Indian father visiting the US for the first time has shared his honest take on life there. His daughter recorded their conversation during the trip, capturing his pride in his children and his excitement at finally visiting the US.
The video was shared by Instagram user Neha Nooka, who described it as her first collaboration with her father. In the clip, she asks him about his experience of visiting the US for the first time.
‘Bachchon par bahut garv hai’
The father, who was born in Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh, spoke about how he had never imagined that his children would eventually move to the US, study there and build careers.
“Dono bachche America aaye, padhe, job kar rahe hain, dono well-settled hain,” he said.
He added that he had never imagined getting an opportunity to visit the US himself.
“Humne bhi zindagi mein kabhi nahi socha tha ki America aane ka mauka milega,” he said.

He also spoke about visiting Mount Rainier, where he had gone up to around 8,000 feet.
“Ghoomne ke liye badhiya hai. Clean bhi bahut hai. Sab kuch India se achha hai,” he said.
However, there was one thing he found difficult.
“Thoda khaane-peene mein hum Indians ko dikkat hoti hai. Baaki sab badhiya hai,” he said.
When his daughter asked what else he liked or disliked about the US, he praised the roads and people, while saying that food remained a challenge.
“US mein sab achha hai. Khaane-peene mein thodi dikkat hai, baaki sab achha hai. Roads achhi hain. Log bhi badhiya hain,” he said.
Neha captioned the video, “My first collaboration with Dad. Show some loveee.”
