Canadian man who helped fix Bengaluru’s footpaths with viral videos moves to Mizoram: ‘Farewell, Bengaluru’
Canadian vlogger Caleb Friesen's Instagram post about relocating to Mizoram after spending over six years in Bengaluru has prompted varied responses.
Published on: Mar 28, 2026 7:26 AM IST By Trisha Sengupta Share via Copy link Caleb Friesen, the Canadian vlogger whose viral videos prompted Bengaluru authorities to fix some of the city’s crumbling footpaths, is moving to Mizoram. His viral "before and after" videos became a catalyst for urban reform in several neighbourhoods, earning him a reputation as a local hero. Friesen is now trading India’s Silicon Valley for the community-driven culture of Aizawl, citing a desire for his children to “grow up in a place that is equitable”. The Canadian man who relocated to Mizoram from Bengaluru. (Instagram/@caleb_friesen) “Farewell, Bengaluru. After 6.5 years I'm finally saying goodbye to one of my favourite cities in India. Why? Well, having kids changed my perspective on life a bit. I want them to grow up in a place that is equitable. Where people respect each other and are patient with one another. I do feel that you can find many pockets of this behaviour in Bengaluru, but it's not as ubiquitous in Bengaluru as it is in Aizawl,” Friesen wrote in an Instagram post.

Explaining his preference for the Mizo way of life, he said: “Mizo society is very egalitarian, patient, and peaceful. There's a term in Mizo culture called Tlawmngaihna, which roughly translates to selflessness, or doing things for others that you don't need to do but do it anyway because it's the right thing to do. This is one of the pillars of Mizo culture, and I haven't really seen it as much in other parts of India. This absence of Tlawmngaihna is, in my opinion, the root of many of the obstacles India faces right now, e.g. corruption, poor infrastructure, littering, etc. and I don't want my children to grow up in a place where these things are normalised. I don't want them to internalise this behaviour.” Additionally, he shared that he wants his kids to grow up in a place where his wife’s extended family lives. He added, “I also want them to be surrounded by family, and that's something they have a lot of in Aizawl thanks to my wife's family being here. Even when I'm busy or travelling, they're surrounded by people who love them and can raise them up in the right way.” A post shared by Caleb Friesen on Instagram.

An individual commented, “Right move, Caleb. I can see where you’re coming from. I lived in the northeast for a couple of years. Still very raw and innocent, and a great place with values . Great place for kids to enjoy and grow up.” Another posted, “Tremendous loss for Bangalore’s roads… now there’s no hope for seeing them fixed in my lifetime.” Also Read: Bengaluru landlord asks tenant to vacate within 15 days over drying clothes issue A third expressed, “Very sad to know you are moving, but I agree it is the right approach.

Away from bullies, ridicule, cuss words, in a land full of discipline and rules, Aizawl is undoubtedly one of (if not the) best places to raise children.” ABOUT THE AUTHOR Trisha Sengupta Trisha Sengupta works as Chief Content Producer at Hindustan Times with over six years of experience in the digital newsroom.
