An American man living in India recently shared his observation about Indian hospitality. In a video on Instagram, user 'John In India' shared his experience of what happens when he visits someone's house unannounced in India. He said that he was deeply touched by Indian hospitality, but he humorously added that there is one thing that he finds a bit "problematic". "How do I visit an Indian's house without them feeding me too much food?" he asked his 16k followers. "I love the hospitality but sometimes it is too much!" he said.
In the video, the Instagram user called Indians "amazing" at hospitality. "I could arrive at an Indian's house at 4pm without telling them and they're still going to feed me a lot of food," he said, before adding that if he did the same in America he'd be lucky if get a glass of water. He then jokingly said that the "only problem" in India is that "they give me way too much food". "I try to be polite and indirect in telling them that I'm getting full but they still give me too much food and I feel like it would be rude if I just stop eating," he said.
