A Canadian vlogger watches the Howdy Modi event from home, reacting to the spectacle while cooking dinner and comparing Indian political culture to Canada's quieter civility. She praises Modi's Swachh Bharat, Jan Dhan, and Ujjwala programs but questions whether they actually reach people, and argues Indians need to voice dissent more subtly.

September, end of September, 25th or something. 23rd is my friend's birthday. I have to wish her. Okay, uh, I don't remember the day today. Anyway, this is the lovely weather we have here. This is beautiful weather, and our parking lot is getting, you know, reconstructed, rebuilt. So there's no cars. Okay, there's look at the fall color has just begun. Can you see? I don't know whether you can see. I can't see the screen. I think you can see. Yeah, just look around, and you can see yellow trees and some red trees. Can you see them? Clock. And sorry about my state of the balcony. I have a lot of. चंग तो क्लियर। I'm not finding the time to do so, but look at the scenery. The sky is mind-blowing in this part of the country, in this part of the world. The sky is mind-blowing. It's practically cloudless and the sunny, sunny, sunny nice afternoon. Okay, and so I'll say goodbye to you guys and you take care. And I just hope you know. Let me see what's happening on Modi channel. Oh, it stopped. So it's all gone. They're gone. So I just wanted to show you what we think about Modi. I feel, if you ask me, I feel— if you ask my opinion about what he's doing about the country, he is— from a bird's eye view, from far, it's difficult to gauge what he's doing, but he is speaking a lot more than what he's doing. A lot, lot more than what he actually does. So It's really, it's very difficult to manage such a huge country with such a huge population, and then so many people have so many, you know, viewpoints to say, and you have to— it's difficult to manage such a huge population. And yes, so I wouldn't, I won't really, you know, there's a fly just got in just now. Oh God, I can't even get rid of the fly. Okay, so, um, it's difficult to manage such a huge population, which I understand completely. And like, being a journalist and I've been seeing, watching Canada and its ways of operation. They have very, they have very few population, there's very few people, and people respect the, the law. So people respect what has been said. They quietly protest, but they don't go like breaking the, breaking the stuff. They're scared. Nobody will go and break, to break down the cars and public vehicles over here. They will not do it. Too sensitive, sensible to do such things. I don't know why people are not sensible enough to do those things, because you cannot draw attention by screaming and shouting. You have to be play— you have to be very quiet and quietly voice your opinion in the most, um, sharp— it's a very sharp way so that it can be— it will be heard. It can be heard in the right direction, the right pocket. And these days there is immense options because you have so much Uh, social media. You can connect with the ministers and the top bosses through social media directly. So let me see my broccoli vegetables. They are getting done. Let me put it up on the higher rack. Should I put it on the higher rack? Oh no, I think that's fine. And this is beef for my son. Uh, yeah, beef for my son. So if some of you subscribe— unsubscribe because I eat beef, Uh, well, you can go ahead and do so, but I don't believe in meat religion. I am a Hindu and I eat beef. Yes, there is nothing wrong in it. There's nothing— uh, if you understand, there's nothing wrong with eating octopus, there's nothing wrong in eating beef. So, uh, yeah, this is a very liberal Hindu speaking. Okay. And, um, but I do believe that Narendra Modi is trying to do something good for the country, but it is going haywire and it takes It will take a long time, and he has to. He has been taking a lot of positive steps, which most of the news channels they you know they talk about it. So they're constantly most news channels are constantly like saying that supporting him. I'll just take off my apron because you get a clear view of me. At least you get a better view of me not in my apron. And yeah, so I think most news channels are. Fine with that, and talking about positive things about him. But in this in reality, he is talking a lot more than he is delivering. So it is going to take a lot of time if he wants to actually follow do whatever he says he wants to do for the country. He is doing a lot of things like the social law, the huge drive to clean up, the what's it called? What was it called? Can anybody say what was it called? What drive was it called? Swachh Bharat Drive, to clean up the— he is, he's been doing that for some, for a long time, and I think that's a very good drive. And then bank accounts for everybody, that's a very good drive, very good thing. And then also He was doing like gas connections for everybody. So these things are good drives, and they need sustainable and cooperative people, cooperative public to for them to be implemented. He he needs a very cooperative like population who has who has to cooperate with him. That's all I might have to say today. Have a good evening and good night to all my fellow Indians. Okay, have a good night. Bye-bye. How do I stop this now? Yes.
