An Indian content creator has left Instagram users laughing out loud after posting a hilarious video of his parents comparing destinations in the United Kingdom to places in India.
Whenever we visit a place, it is common that we get reminded of another location we have been to. For Rwitoban Deb's parents, the idea led to some hilarious results. Visiting their son in the UK, they could not help but compare locations to places back home. Their most hilarious description? Comparing Edinburgh's meadows to Kolkata's iconic Maidan.
Indian Parents' Hilarious UK Trip
Rwitoban Deb dropped a video of his parents being unimpressed by the places they visited in the UK. The red-brick architecture of the St. Pancras International railway station in London reminded them of Howrah station. Similarly, a visit to Brighton's Devil's Dyke, a V-shaped dry valley, evoked memories of Kashmir's Gulmarg. And Edinburgh's meadows reminded them of Kolkata's iconic park, the Maidan.
How Did Social Media React?
Many Instagram users said that the duo was “absolutely right.”
One user explained why the structures looked similar. “The fact is, Howrah station and Maidan were built by the British in their style, so that's why it's similar,” the comment read.
Another said that the buildings in London were “better maintained” compared to Kolkata. “Maidan is just in one place and here we have them almost in every suburb here,” the user added.
“If only Kolkata had the correct management...it's no less than London,” a person commented.
Another individual wrote, “It was exactly my reaction watching the buildings in London.”
