I completed two years in Canada a month ago, and the differences between life here and in India are quite noticeable.

Infrastructure & Public Services
Here, you get better value for your taxes—roads are well-maintained with fewer potholes, traffic rules are followed, and pedestrians are given priority over vehicles. Public services generally function more efficiently due to stricter regulations that are actually enforced.

Work Culture & Independence
One of the biggest cultural shifts I experienced was the emphasis on independence. As soon as you become an adult here, you’re expected to find a job, rent your own place, and figure out life on your own. While parents do provide support, the expectation is to become self-sufficient early on. This builds a sense of responsibility that is quite different from India, where family ties and financial dependence often last much longer.

Civic Sense & Mindset
Civic sense is significantly better here. While littering still exists, it’s minimal due to strict regulations and enforcement. The overall mindset around personal responsibility is stronger—whether it’s following rules, respecting public spaces, or handling finances.

Speaking of finances, people here learn to manage and invest money much earlier. In India, financial literacy—especially regarding investments—isn’t as common, making it harder for people to build wealth independently. Additionally, people here are generally not nosy; they respect privacy and personal choices, making life feel more peaceful.

Work-Life Balance
The work culture is another major difference. In India, even working 60–70 hours a week doesn’t necessarily translate to financial security or respect. Here, a standard 35–40 hour workweek is enough to earn a decent living, and workers are valued regardless of their profession. Even blue-collar jobs, like plumbing, are well-paid and respected—unlike in India, where such jobs often lack social status.

That said, life here comes with its struggles, especially in the beginning. But if you push through, it eventually leads to a more stable and comfortable life. As the saying goes, “Manage your money before it starts managing you,” and this culture encourages exactly that.

What I Miss About India
Despite all these positives, nothing compares to Indian food, festivals, and the overall vibe of India. There’s an unmatched warmth and energy in Indian culture that’s hard to find anywhere else. If we could somehow combine the best aspects of both countries—India’s cultural richness with Foreign country’s structure and quality of life—it would truly be an ideal place to live.

Final Thoughts
Overall, Foreign offers a more structured, independent, and financially stable life, while India excels in culture, community, and tradition. Both have their own charm, and each experience shapes you in different ways.

They just can't tolerate a women being happy. 

He lost his balance while trying to save that gentleman who's standing on a busy road like it's his father's farms

I don't know about the legality of using pepper spray, but using pepper spray usage should be legal.... Atleast towards these kinds of idiots ...

do the magats believe Trump when he says Ukraine started this war or do they remember watching the news three years ago when Russia invaded? Or when they took Crimea ?

I would have given that kid pepper spray so when he sees her next time he can just attack her, kid can say it was mom's pepper spray. No one will go to jail and also justice will be served.

If they do, will be the best thing to happen to this city since the metro

The time is going to come when Trump decides that the legal system is too slow and too encumbered with processes that make his life difficult - and this is precisely the sort of thing that will push him to that decision.

He's already had a go at bypassing the courts with his EO announcing that he and the DOJ alone interpret law. He ain't gonna stop there.

If PETA sees this they are gonna book the child for being scared of dogs

Why is Harshit Rana playing over Arshdeep?

Technically no. Because most of the so called SUVs in India are just Crossovers. They aren't actual SUVs.

Don’t.. waste of money to hear loud noise.

>How to handle bike at such trails?

Seriously bruh ?

Some dog lovers are absolute psychos, they think their baby is above everyone else.
