1. Endless food choices: The richness and range of food choices mean there is always something new to taste and enjoy. "With so many options and variety, there is always more to try and enjoy!" she said as the first point.

2. A child-friendly culture: For a family with four young kids, India's collective affection and enthusiasm for children has been deeply reassuring and welcoming. "As a mom of 4 young kids, I love this so much," she said.

8. Indian monsoons: She said that in India, monsoons bring a distinct charm-from the fresh greenery and peaceful sound of morning rain to family walks in the downpour. "The sound of rain in the morning, the green trees, and the joy of walking in the rain with my kids. It feels magical," she added.

9. Sustainability: She said Indians believe in repairing, reusing, and recycling items, keeping unnecessary waste to a minimum. "I love the culture of less waste," she said.

10. Festive Celebrations: As the final point, she praised the colourful wedding parties, energetic Holi gatherings, and the country's celebratory spirit. " Who doesn't love an elaborate Indian wedding or a fun and messy Holi celebration?" she stated.
