Maybe it was never just about an iPhone.
New details in the Maharashtra tragedy make that pretty clear.
We should be careful about reducing someone's entire life to one argument.
I don't think you can explain a suicide simply by saying, "He wanted an iPhone."
A phone might have been the trigger.
But when someone reaches that point, there is usually something much deeper going on.
We should ask what we don't know yet.

Imagine making your parents feel like they're failing you because they can't afford the phone everyone else has.
That's the real problem.

In 2024, a viral video showed a poor mother buying her son an iPhone after he refused to eat for 3 days.
Today, a family has reportedly lost 3 lives over the same obsession.
When did a phone become worth this much?
#India#Consumerism#MentalHealth
We need to stop pretending this is just an "iPhone problem."
It's the pressure to own what everyone else owns.
The pressure to look successful.
The pressure to keep up.
A phone shouldn't decide your worth.

An iPhone was supposed to be a phone.
Somehow, in this case, a fight over one ended with three people dead.
Maybe we should talk more about why a ₹1 lakh object can start feeling more important than life itself.

I kinda miss when the internet wasn't everyone's career.
People just posted random shit because they thought it was funny.
No personal brand. No engagement strategy. No "content."
Just vibes.

9 people died in a Kolkata hotel fire.
And once again, we're talking about fire safety only after people have died.
Why does it always take a tragedy for basic safety rules to become urgent?
Kolkata has one unofficial law:
If someone is watching reels on full volume in a bus, nobody says anything.
We all just silently suffer together like it's part of the ticket price.
Dada, headphones bole ekta jinish ache.
