The clip was shared with the caption, “Exactly 10 years ago I landed in India for the 1st time and these are the thoughts I wanna share…”
‘Everything at your doorstep’
In the video, Patalas-Kalra said, “What other countries should take example from India? And I'm saying it as a foreigner staying since 10 years in India. First thing: services. We can get, just in 10 minutes, everything at your doorstep. Groceries, electronics, accessories, even iPhone—everything. You don't have to even go outside the home, and it's so easy to live here.”
Her remark appeared to refer to the convenience of quick delivery services, which have become a regular part of life in several Indian cities. From groceries and food to electronics and daily essentials, app-based doorstep delivery has changed the way many people shop.

Almost in every house in India, there is a bathroom which is attached to a bedroom, and it's so convenient. It should be, I think, in every country.”
She also praised the concept of MRP printed on products in India. “And third thing, it's MRP price on every product here in India. There is an MRP price, so it's maximum price that they can sell the product to the customer. It should be everything in every country. So good!” she added.

The video drew several reactions from Instagram users, with many agreeing with her observations. One user wrote, “Quick delivery has spoiled us forever.” Another said, “MRP is seriously one of the best things in India.” A third commented, “Attached bathrooms are underrated until you live abroad.”
Some users also compared Indian conveniences with life in other countries. “After living outside India, you realise how easy daily life is here,” one person wrote. Another added, “India has problems, but convenience is definitely not one of them.” A sixth user said, “The 10 minute delivery point is so true, we take it for granted.”
Another comment read, “Every country should have MRP, it makes shopping much more transparent.” One more user wrote, “As an Indian, this made me appreciate things I never noticed before.”
