6 months back, I shifted to the mountains after I got married.

Here’s why I’m never going to live in cities anymore:

1/ Quality of life

Life in the mountains is 100X better for the mind, body & spirit

-Clean air, sunshine, lots of quiet time with myself

-More peace because people are generally kinder to each other

The stress gets dialed down & attention returns to what matters—my work, my partner, my breath.

To me, this feels priceless.

2/ Right perspective

When you live in nature, you’re humbled by the constant reminder of its sheer magnitude

Weather changes in minutes, nature may turn furious anytime

That humbles you into living a life of appreciation in each moment

3/ People who’re not on their phone all the time

In the mountain villages, people care about each other.

They wave, smile for no reason. You get invited for chai.

They talk (without scrolling on their phones).

People are more human out here.

4/ Being myself unapologetically

City makes you conform, put on a mask because you can’t survive otherwise

That kills your authenticity and stops you from expressing yourself fully

But the hills broke that pattern.

More alone time & no need for performances.

You get comfortable in your skin that you don’t want to go back to living any other way.

I am myself; zero filters.

This change made me alive like I’ve never been before

Now I’m not saying everyone should move.

I’m saying it’s worth taking a good look at how we live, how we interact with others & nature.

Because our time is too fleeting to make it miserable for ourselves.

And once you know that truth, it’s hard to go back.

Life doesn't ask for a complicated philosophy.
It comes down to two things: the profoundness of your experience, and the impactfulness of your action.
When your experience becomes deep and unentangled, your action simply does what is needed. No resistance, just life.

@ajinkyaaar Well said. Made me go back to my own childhood memories.

Also very true about X!

@neoviky People rarely step out in nature, sleep in till late, and scroll all day. This is one of the big reasons why it feels days are moving faster.

Every Indian has a Parle-G memory.

With chai. In school. On trains.

But behind that ₹5 biscuit is a $2B empire built on patriotism, smart pricing, & a flawless distribution system.

Here’s the story of the highest-selling biscuit brand in history.
