India Today
An IIT Delhi graduate shared nine positive life changes he experienced after shifting to the US, and addressed common negative narratives about living abroad.
An IIT Delhi graduate shared the nine life upgrades he had experienced since he moved to the US for his MBA, and offered a counterpoint to the often-viral complaints about life abroad.
Aman Rai, who is currently pursuing his MBA at the Yale School of Management, explained in the caption of his post that he had been noticing a pattern online.
“6 months ago, I moved to the US to start my MBA at Yale. Since then, the social media algorithm has been pushing a specific type of content - Indians in the US complaining about the ‘hard life’ and sharing expectations vs reality reels about no house help, bad weather, no quick comm, etc," he wrote.
Wanting to present a different perspective, he wrote, “So to counter that negativity, let me share the other side—so many massive life upgrades that I have experienced.”
Rai then listed several everyday changes that stood out to him. He pointed out the presence of proper sidewalks and safer running conditions, saying he could not imagine running freely in Bengaluru without fearing traffic, but had recently managed to run almost every day in the latter half of the day.
He also mentioned the existence of stricter adherence to traffic rules, adding, “My wife didn't drive for 5 years in India because of the chaos, and here she started driving in the 2nd month.”
