A woman posted on X her thoughts on the quality of life in India and the US. She said she used to think that having groceries delivered to her home and affordable house help was the “luxury life in India.” However, after visiting the US, she argued that clean air and good roads create the “real quality of life.” As expected, her post created a stir among those who supported and those who opposed her.
“Today is day 11 in the US. Here are some thoughts I had yesterday evening. Some of you may have been triggered by these thoughts. But if it was triggered by a text online of someone’s opinion, then it is definitely a space you need to improve and protect for your own energy,” wrote X user Niharikaa Kaur Sodhi.
She then cited “fast food delivery,” “grocery delivery within 10 minutes” and “affordable domestic help” as complements to the “luxurious life in India.”
But after visiting the United States, she said she realised that “basics” such as “clean air,” “available electricity,” “available water,” “plentiful greenery” and “good roads” constitute “real quality of life.”
She then went on to write more about her thoughts on the quality of life in both countries: “In any case, my definition of quality of life and luxury may have changed. I don’t know if I will be able to achieve any of the above, but it’s definitely an idea in my head,” she wrote, concluding her post.

What comment did user X make about this post by X about the quality of life in India and the US?
“I agree 100%. It takes courage to voice this opinion. Civil rights are a highly undervalued attribute,” posted user X. “Just walk 50km away from any city in India and you can get that kind of life,” suggested another.
“Both locations have their pros and cons, you usually can’t get everything in one place,” a third person said. “Slight correction, no one walks to a grocery store in the US (assuming you live in the suburbs where 90% of the population lives),” a fourth commented.
A fifth wrote: “I can always go to America or England as a tourist and enjoy myself but those who stay there will miss life in India!”
