For Indians living overseas, distance can mean missing birthdays, festivals and other important family milestones despite better career opportunities and financial prospects. Pratik Chaudhary, an Indian man based in Canada, captured that dilemma in an Instagram video when he appeared to regret being unable to attend the housewarming ceremony of his family’s new home in India.
At the start of the clip, Chaudhary spoke about the frustration of living far from home and potentially missing the occasion. Text displayed on the video described the situation as “The worst part of living abroad.”
