Top reads to start with

Start with “How is life in India like compared to developed countries?” for a lively comparison that explains daily differences—traffic, food, cost, and social pace—without being preachy. If you’re curious why some people outside India don’t warm up to our cuisine, read “Why do Americans dislike Indian food?” — it breaks down taste, spice tolerance and common misconceptions.

Planning to move or already abroad? “How hard is it for an Indian to settle in Japan?” and “How is life as an Indian in Raleigh, NC?” give realistic, practical advice about language, jobs and local communities. Need paperwork help? Check “How can I renew Indian passport in USA?” for a straightforward checklist that saves time.

For media and politics, posts like “Do you think Times of India is sexist?” and “Why has the Times of India started charging for its epaper?” point out specific issues and what to watch for—no big jargon, just clear examples. Want a sharper debate on leadership? “Does India deserve a politician like Amit Shah?” lays out pros and cons you can weigh quickly.
