An Indian woman living in Portugal shared a list of everyday conveniences she never thought much about while living in India, only to realise how much she missed them after moving abroad.
Shruti Shivam, an Indian expat who documented her experiences overseas through her Instagram page Desi Life Abroad, posted a video emphasising the small but significant aspects of daily life in India that she said she now appreciated far more.
The display text on the video read: "Things Portugal made me appreciate that I took for granted in India." In the clip, Shruti walked viewers through seven everyday conveniences that she believes were often overlooked by people living in India.
Topping her list was doorstep delivery.
She pointed out that in India, everything from groceries and medicines to meals could be delivered straight to one's home with minimal effort.
