Indian woman’s Times Square video sparks Delhi market nostalgia online– watch the viral video here to know why

A short Instagram video is making people in India smile because it shows New York’s Times Square in a way most did not expect. Instead of the usual bright lights and busy tourist crowds, the video focuses on something familiar: street vendors, stalls, and the everyday hustle you’d see in any market.

Many viewers said it reminded them of shopping in Delhi.

Times Square feels like Delhi

The video was shared by Sheena Dalal Bisla. She walks through Times Square, but instead of pointing at the tall towers and neon signs, she shows what’s happening at street level. You see jackets hanging, winter caps stacked on carts, toys on display, and food stalls busy with customers. The scene felt familiar to many, almost like Delhi’s crowded markets.

Sheena even added a playful caption: “Times Square or New Delhi? Indian roadside sales energy going global.”

Many agreed that the energy of street vendors is surprisingly similar, even thousands of miles away.

Viewers relate instantly

People on Instagram reacted fast. One comment read, “This honestly looks like Palika Bazar on a winter evening, just with taller buildings.” Others joked that bargaining skills might work in New York too. Some noted that vendors everywhere adapt to crowds and tourists, whether in Delhi or Times Square.

Street markets are everywhere

The video shows that street markets and small sellers are universal.

From Delhi to New York, vendors respond to crowds, seasons, and foot traffic. Jackets appear in winter, food stalls pop up near busy areas, and toys are displayed where families are walking by. It’s a reminder that the energy of street life is similar everywhere.

A simple video that connects

What makes the video stand out is how simple it is. It’s a small thing, but something a lot of people can relate to. By showing Times Square like a Delhi market, Sheena reminded us that the busy energy of street vendors is the same almost everywhere.Disclaimer: The video mentioned in this article was shared on social media by the user and reflects their personal experience and observation.
