Life seems like a vicious circle, a rat race wherein we are continuously hustling to achieve society’s expectation of success. While having a luxurious house, a top-class car, a hefty bank balance, and a complete family would define someone’s criteria of happiness, others are content with having a decent paying job and a loan-free life.
People on Twitter recently shared how content they were with the lives they have been living. The discussion was sparked after an independent journalist, Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj, shared that she is happy living the “jitni chadar utne pair taan” life.
I am 36

There were also some who had this to say:
It maybe good to be single till 35-40 , but if you don’t have someone who can take care of you after 40 life becomes difficult. Watching many abandoned parents and couples struggling during a medical emergency.

N you have to explain to the world tat you are happy, tat tells a lot abt your happiness.

Your chemical constitution is changing every moment however subtle and so also “needs”. Feels good when young, but won’t be the same with age. But there will be no comeback on what should have happened before. Just a heads up, as there’s still time. Do whatever for right reasons.

Family being with you forever is a myth. Just see the retirement communities. One needs to take care of one’s health, that’s much of it. Money is rest of it.

Dear Deepika it’s doesn’t mean that you are willing to live single and feer to have all this like penny stock.
So leave the Poor family thinking beta jitne chadar utene pair lambe karo…
Think like middle or uper family like beta yeh dekho yeh aaj Rs.1 lah ko duble kaise kare— Pawan (@officialpawan06) January 27, 2022
What’s your definition of happiness?
