She said it also made her grateful and humbled. The American expressed joy at the invite and looked forward to learning more about Anthony and his Indian culture.

"This experience has left me grateful, humbled, and a bit ashamed (if I am honest), because of how blind I am to how others live.

"To say it was life-changing would be an understatement...it was more of a tidal wave of emotion that I still haven't fully processed.

"All I know is that I am glad to have met him and look forward to learning more about him and Indian culture. And...maybe how to eat biryani with my hands without making a mess."

"Makes me ponder about my own self and how little do we do for the society and people we are living with. There is huge divide and as responsible citizens we must come forward to help. I realised this and wish to bring about that change in myself. Sometimes we are so blessed, we forget how to share those blessings. We live in a crazy greedy world. One baby step at a time."

Sahil Shaikh said:

"I understand your intent of the post is towards good and being grateful in life for what you have, but somehow you have managed to trigger the wrong side in conveying the same.. Hopefully you'll visit the privileged Indians someday and that may give you a balanced view of the culture and standards. Of living."
