Twitter abuzz with 'poor quota' debate

The tweet containing the image gained significant traction on X, amassing over 6 lakh views. Netizens offered a plethora of reactions to the viral scenario.

One user humorously remarked, "Even more simple than this is to ask her dad to resign & remain jobless & survive on savings for 2 years, by doing this they will be classified as family with 0 income, plus dad can help with study preparation & house work. No need of separation or alimony, happy family."

Another user juxtaposed personal struggles with academic aspirations, stating, "Me calculating my gate marks while rich people out there are planning a divorce ceremony for their parents."

A third user injected a dose of cynicism, commenting, "At least one divorce planning to save husband¡¯s money."

Observing the societal implications, someone noted, "Last line is most appropriate," while another user lamented, "Corruption is an integral part of people¡¯s DNA."

Concluding with a critique on social strata, yet another commenter remarked, "Income high class, thought process low class."
