Cumbersome systems in Canada

Selene Khosla recently shared a video on Instagram where she compared the return processes of Amazon in India and Canada.
She highlighted the ease of returning items in India, where a delivery person picks up the parcel directly from your doorstep.
In contrast, in Canada, customers are responsible for packing the item, printing the return label, and visiting the post office to send it back.

She said, "One of the cultural shocks I encountered after moving to Canada is that, unlike in India, where Amazon offers a 30-day return policy and the delivery person picks up the item, here you have to pack it yourself, print the label, and find a printer 每 because no service delivers printouts to your home like Swiggy does in India!"
Khosla expressed her frustration with the cumbersome process in Canada and praised the convenience provided by Amazon's return service in India.
She says, "I now have immense appreciation for the systems in India and the Amazon delivery people who make returns so convenient."

'No place like India': How people reacted
The video swiftly gained traction, amassing 4.1 million views and over 253k likes. Among the flood of comments, one said, "NRIs and foreign students truly know the real value of India," while another echoed, "People start appreciating India only after they leave it."
Another commenter remarked, "Hence proved - koi bhi desh perfect nahi hota," shedding light on the imperfections of every nation.
Conversely, another perspective surfaced, suggesting, "I think the reason we have such services in India is also because people would work more for less than minimum wage. Unemployment is at an all-time high and people will take whatever they can."
Amidst the discussion, one voice declared, "India is actually the best country to live. (traffic could be ignored)," while another simply proclaimed, "No place like INDIA."
Even actor Aparshakti Khurana took notice of the video, expressing his sentiments with, "Indiaaaaaa ? indiaaaaaaa ?"
