Now, one woman from India, who has been residing in the United States, recently shared her perspective on the comparative quality of life between the two nations. Her insights, she acknowledges, might be triggering to some.

Niharika Kaur Sodhi recently shared her thoughts on social media platform X, reflecting on her experiences after 11 days in the US. She wrote, "Day 11 today in the US and here's a thought I had yesterday evening. It might trigger some of you¡"
Sodhi compared the perceived luxuries of life in India with what she considers the true quality of life in the US. She explained, "I've always felt how luxurious life in India can be with: Quick food deliveries,?10-minute grocery delivery and affordable household help."
She added, "I literally survive on grocery deliveries lol. But REAL quality of life is actually stuff that's super basic. It's: clean air, ongoing electricity, availability of water, plenty of greenery and good roads."
She further elaborated, "One doesn't need quick grocery delivery if they have clean air and the infrastructure to walk to the store without stray animals or fear of getting hit by a car. Or they can drive without crazy congestion and drivers coming from all directions."
"And the real luxury is:?Central air conditioning instead of dying in 45¡ãC without any electricity on some days, freedom to wear what you want to be comfortable instead of men ogling at you."
Sodhi also shared what has brought her joy during her time in the US: morning walks, good air, green pastures, seeing sunrise and sunset and the sound of birds instead of honking.
She concluded, "Anyhoo, perhaps it's my definition of quality of life and luxury that has changed. I don't know if I'll ever attain any of the above. But it's definitely a thought in my head."
