Can't believe Samir has his roots just 100 km from where I live. What a small little world we live in.

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

I hitchhiked across India about a year after you published this video, and passed through many towns and tier 2/3 cities like this, but as a traveler, not as a guest like you. It's amazing to see people's lives unfolding in your video, to catch a glimpse of someone's deep, meaningful memories of a place you're only visiting for a moment. Makes me realize and remember that amidst the noise, dust, and crowds, there are incredible, decades-long stories playing out all around us. Thanks for the video Samir 🙂 do let me know if you and Colin are ever in Bengaluru, would love to meet you guys and show you around! -Caleb

[@freyahaque]

As a Bangladeshi feeling a little disconnected from home, this was really nice to watch :)

[@JuztoKik]

Same here 🙏

[@nodoubles8400]

Me too

[@ECD]

Favorite video yet. Amazing to see your Dad's emotions. Nice work.

[@tom20212]

Simply amazing, this channel deserves a bigger following.

[@ColinandSamir]

amazing video, the smile on a man's face coming back to his home is worth a life. Thanks for sharing this.

[@ColinandSamir]

Thanks Fabio, come back to LA so we can have pasta night!

[@evananderson9998]

This is a beautiful video Samir, great job presenting your father's joy of his community.

[@ColinandSamir]

Thanks Evan

[@DhirajBhole]

I wonder how many times your dad had watched this video till now!!! Such beautiful memories to recollect and share with the world!!!

[@dlepi40]

Absolutely crazy how friendly and accepting the community is. Definitely seems to have a completely different feeling than most places in America I've lived. Seems like everyone is one big family.

[@ThatrandomKiwiKid123]

Hey Samir, I'm half Indian and I'm going to India for my first time. I was curious to know, what was the whole experience like? I'm nervous but excited to see what the difference will be like. By the way this was an excellent video. Support all the way from New Zealand!

[@EpicInferno24]

myself also being indian, born there actually but I came to america at a young age. I visited back a few times but all i mainly suggest is too be very aware when out at the stores ( bizarres ) as well as be really cautious to the food and drinks u consume because your stomach is most likely not used to indian cuisine and u might get sick off of it. India is a beautiful country man i hope u enjoy :)

[@ThatrandomKiwiKid123]

EpicInferno24 cheers man, I'm really excited to connect to my culture.

[@ColinandSamir]

The experience is different and really eye opening, just come in with an open mind and you'll really enjoy it

[@ThatrandomKiwiKid123]

Colin and Samir Aight, I'll make sure to do so. Cheers for the reply!

[@MI.449]

Aw

[@KeshArt]

welcome home buddy ;)

[@nathanieldash]

Hey Samir and Colin! I used to watch your TLN videos all the time when I played lacrosse in high school. The other day I stumbled upon this channel because I too am into filmmaking and entrepreneurship. Long story short, this was a great video and I can relate in so many ways! This past summer I traveled to Pakistan, my dad's home country, for the first time and I vlogged my experiences and put them here on KZbin. I went though the same process of seeing where my dad grew up and observing all the people he knew and who remembered him. Watching this video was almost an exact replication of the videos I made and what I saw while I was there. Thanks for the reminder of all the good memories!

[@ColinandSamir]

That's so awesome, thanks for watching! Send us the vlog from your experience would love to check it out

[@nathanieldash]

You got it. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXGm2t5nsuEaMk I just uploaded it last night, so feel free to check out my other videos in my "Pakistan" playlist! Thanks guys

[@UnderMyHatAdventures]

This is a great video. When your dad didn't recognize the school at the beginning he had this look of fear/worry on his face and I love how that changed by the end. I live in the town my dad and grandfather grew up in and I love hearing their stories about the old days there and this reminds me a lot of that.

[@santhoshsrinivasagan6678]

There are soo many shitty videos with millions of views in youtube and then you find such a beautiful video with just 10K views puts things into perspective .

[@sonia.yurista]

Samir, I really like this video. I feel the warm and love how the neighborhood recognized your father one by one. Wish I find your channel sooner, been binge watching all your videos. Keep making cool stuffs, Colin and Samir! Love from Indonesia!

[@kreynolds6173]

This was lovely. A touching and beautiful way for your father to feel the love and acceptance of his forever “home”. And an awesome memory for you to treasure.

[@griffinouellette7854]

I love how you guys can focus on two amazing channels on youtube. Both this channel and TLN deserve a bigger following and more support. Good job!

[@farhansiddiqui1334]

The fact that your father's hindi is on point after all these years is so heartwarming...

[@BenjaminAnsari]

I've been watching all your videos since being introduced to this channel by Jack Coyne's videos. You guys are easily the most under credited youtuber's out there right now. This channel deserves a following in the millions. Keep killing it guys!! This is what youtube is all about

[@ColinandSamir]

👊🏼👊🏾

[@TB-xv2nj]

This was so heart warming. It reminded me of my last visit to India. The love the community shows you back home is just incredible.

After a sucky day this always makes my day

[@thefrugalinvestor9596]

I grew up 1 hour away from where your dad grew up. A lot has changed in those parts in the last 10 years but the love, warmth and feeling of home is still the same.

[@TheShy007]

Just looking at your dad's face after someone recognised him and the feeling which he had that ppl still remembered him somehow made me happy.

[@MrMetromint]

Recently took a similar trip to Iran with my mom who hadn't been back in over thirty years; you're absolutely right about the concept of home. Big fan of your content, excited to see where this page goes.

[@mgtowacademy8433]

Though I live in Florida, I returned for a month to my home country of Bangladesh with my family. My dad took me and my family to his hometown (a small village now a city) of gopalganj. It was my first time in my life ever out of the city of Dhaka, the countryside was so different. We stayed at his house, which used to be a shed-like thing made out of rusty metal. He took me around town, we got some sodas and Bangladeshi snacks and stuff, while running into my dad's old friends and neighbors. My dad being a doctor, saw some sick people and gave them advice and prescriptions. We had lots of blackouts, got to see a lot of stars, we went fishing, I pumped water out a a well (fun for me at least). I loved it, it was on of the highlights of my trip. I'm honestly shocked by how similar my experience was in comparison to yours. I felt JUST like you did and was happy my dad got to see his old friends. Definitely looking forward to more of your videos (I don't care what the topic is) in the future! See you you guys around!

[@daisytheduke9149]

This felt so refreshing to watch and just genuinely feel good content! Nothing forced, no agenda, but just smiles start till end :)

[@JULIANKGLASSER]

This video is awesome. It's nice to see that you are still humble and grounded 5 years ago and still the same today. Keep up the good work! :]

[@chrisimsdahl2480]

Love this video! I’ve been to India, it is a very amazing and holds special place in my heart!

[@konspiracy210]

Really cool dude. Touching.

[@ColinandSamir]

Thanks Mike

[@pranavsinghal7554]

Absolutely loved this video. Your Dad must love having this recording of such a special day.

[@JennyAndAlex]

“A man can live in many places and in many houses, but he only has one home.” Very well said! This was definitely an oldie but goodie!

Wonderful share Samir. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing your family and roots.

[@likhithramesh9065]

Saw India in the title and clicked 😀...luv ur videos man... following u after the Casey's videos

[@kanavgupta1086]

Being an Indian this video makes me really happy. I found your channel through your other videos and this video just got recommended as I am a subscriber to your channel. A really amazing video.

[@AlexBeldi]

nice video guys, nice story you shared Samir, thankssss

[@MrTuneYourGuitar]

Samir, this is video is amazing. You are a great story teller. Everything from the music to the drone shots to your face at 5:25. This is a beautiful way to tell the story of your father and his home. Thank you.

[@simonsanjur1961]

I'm not sure why this popped up on my recommended but I'm glad it did, really puts things in perspective about youtube and chasing your dreams

[@mikeallencamp]

I know I’m late to the party but this is a great video. Thanks for sharing. Your Dad seems like a good dude.

[@ashwin.unlead]

Glad to see your still in touch with ur Indian roots, most people who go to the US at a younger age dont even have any touch with their land.

[@Pokeccc]

Wait were you born in USA or in India? I´m confused.

[@abhyudaya_tiwari]

Mere ko phle hi . Es video se phle hi feel ho gya tha Samir is smir a Indian.

[@Khalidazizphoto]

yo samir that video gave me some goosebumps. Last year I went with my parents to Pakistan. I have been there only 3 or 4 times an the last time it was almost 20 years ago. I was born in Italy, grew up and lived almost my whole live in Germany, so I feel like a German (as long no stupid people, don't remind me that I'm brown). That visit to Pakistan, as an grown up, made me realize what Pakistan the community and the culture meant to my father and where I come from. Watching you and your father walking thru the village and he explaining where is room/dorm was and what he did what he was little, reminded me of my father telling me the same exact things and nearly the same language (Urdu). So sad that Pakistani and Indians can't get along there. Whish you guys all the best. If you come to Berlin/Germany and need some help contact me.

[@anir6871]

Probably one of the best videos on this channel

[@PenMyPalett]

Why am I just finding this video after 4 years?? It's such a gem!

Your videos are so good man. This is filmed so well, tells the perfect story and you really get a feeling that you are there. Loved watching your Dads smile

[@thecellarseller34]

Once again , a great story in only 6 min ! The hidden gem in these videos is your writing ! A fancy drone is cool, but the story your words tell is even better 👏🏻

[@IMajharu]

I really enjoyed watching this video. You always created good content and I feel like going back to my country after watching this

[@ginaadelman862]

Hi to you both. Loved seeing the places you came from and am excited to see where you'll be going. Loved the piece about Saxon too. Gina

[@safarizion]

Man, I wish Colin and Samir would do some vlogging nowadays these videos are so wholesome

[@vinamrajha]

There is so much of respect for you and your parents by my side there are not a lot of 2nd gen Indians or even Indian who moved abroad out there who respects their roots this much but everytime you talked about it i felt that you are not just saying it for the sake of something you feel it and we feel the same through you. These are the times or moments when we start appreciating whatever we have and i wanna thank-you for reminding us that. Well it's a old video but it's powerful it's been a long while I'm following you guys never got it in my suggestions but ig it's never too late.

[@fobudomh]

Wow. .... That last line was straight from the heart.

[@ThomasApp]

This is funny how whatever age we are we always looks like a kid next to our dads ! Great film by the way, my dad doesn't remember much about Vietnam it felt weird going somewhere where you don't belong anymore...
