From Ordinary to Extraordinary
Kristen Fischer, a mother of four, moved to India four years ago—and she says she hasn’t looked back. In a now-viral video, Fischer posed a compelling question: “Live in India or America?” For her, the answer was clear. She chose India, calling it “extraordinary” and full of life, color, and culture.
“I could choose an average life in the USA, or I could choose to do something bold and extraordinary,” she wrote.
Embracing the Heart of India
Fischer’s video shows her fully embracing Indian culture—wearing sarees, getting mehendi, enjoying Holi with her children, and experiencing the bustling charm of central Delhi. She highlighted the warmth of Indian people, the joy of local festivals, and the richness of everyday life.
“India has changed my life forever and I will never be the same,” she said.
