The clean air and good roads make for a “real quality of life” in the United States, a woman said while comparing life in India, sparking debate among netizens.
In a post on X, a woman said that she used to believe that getting groceries delivered at home or affordable house help made for a “luxurious life in India” but later, when she shifted to the US, her thoughts changed.
She said that the real luxury is getting a central air conditioning instead of dying in 45C without any electricity on some days.
She also said that the freedom to wear what you want to be comfortable instead of men ogling at you was a major plus
Before voicing her opinion, Niharikaa Kaur Sodhi on X said that this might trigger some of you.
"Day 11 today in the US and here’s a thought I had yesterday evening. It might trigger some of you… But if online text with somebody’s opinion triggers you that’s a space you should totally work on and protect for your own energy," Sodhi said.
"So the thought is - I’ve always felt how luxurious life in India can be with: • quick food deliveries • 10min grocery delivery • affordable household help I literally survive on grocery deliveries lol," she added.


Realising what is the real luxury, Sodhi said that the real quality of life is actually stuff that’s super basic. It’s: • clean air • ongoing electricity • availability of water • plenty of greenery • good roads.
She concluded her post stating that this is her opinion on the quality of life. “I don’t know if I’ll ever attain any of the above. But it’s definitely a thought in my head."
While her post garnered over 520k views, the comment section is filled with the divided netizens.
One of the user commented, "100 percent agree. It takes courage to voice this opinion. Civic sense is a highly under rated attribute." While the other said, "Living in Melbourne for 15 years and temporarily moved to Mumbai and ai could see the difference clearly. You are 100% correct. We hardly had food deliveries in Melbourne but everyday in Mumbai because of pollution, traffic etc."
Some of the users, who doesn't agree with her said "Please study why India is most populous country throughout ( if we take density into consideration we are 3 times more populous than china ) . Ppl have very weird concept on quality of life ! Hopefully you will learn !"
While another said, "Year 10 in the US for me. Although clean air, cleanliness, civic sense, green pastures, no nosy relatives/neighbours interested in your matters are undoubtedly great perks, nothing compares to the quality and ease of social life India offers. Just another perspective."

A user also said, "X needs to fix its algorithm, don't understand why I keep seeing unrelated posts from complete pistachios."
