A recent post by Niharikaa Kaur Sodhi has sparked a big discussion about life in India versus the United States. She shared her thoughts online, comparing what she considered a good life in both countries.
In India, Sodhi used to think things like quick food delivery, fast grocery services, and affordable household help made life luxurious. But after spending time in the US, she realized that things like clean air, reliable electricity, access to water, lots of green spaces, and good roads were what really made life better there.
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 🤓

Her post got a lot of attention and people had different opinions. Some agreed with her, saying it’s important to have good infrastructure and a clean environment. Others said both countries have their own good and bad points. They mentioned that life in the US might have better infrastructure, but it can lack the strong community and family connections that are valued in India.
This debate shows that what makes a good life can depend on where you live and what you value. Economic stability, healthcare, education, and how connected people feel in their communities all affect how they see their quality of life.
Sodhi’s post encourages us to think about how our ideas of what makes life good can change over time. As societies change and grow, our priorities can also shift. It’s important to listen to different perspectives and understand that everyone’s experience is valid.
In the end, discussions like these help us learn from each other and think about how we can improve our lives, no matter where we live in the world. Each country has its strengths and challenges, and by understanding and respecting these differences, we can work towards creating better lives for ourselves and our communities, wherever we call home.
