While many people have left Delhi or have decided to go somewhere else due to pollution, an American citizen from across the seven seas has expressed his desire to live here. The reason behind this is also interesting.
The American citizen is tired of living in his own country and now he has started liking India and has chosen Delhi to live here. The person has also taken advice from people on Reddit.
A man bored with his job and country
This 30-year-old American citizen has recently started a big debate on the internet through one of his posts on Reddit. She has expressed her desire to leave America forever and settle in Delhi and start a new and satisfying chapter of her life. The man is a white American who has achieved great financial success in the television industry. Due to this success, he took premature retirement midway. After leaving his career, he became disillusioned with various aspects of life in America and became deeply depressed. Looking for a meaningful change in life, she has chosen India and specifically Delhi as her potential new home.
Know the reason also
The American man said in his post that he is no stranger to Indian culture. He mentioned his fondness for Indian food and women, saying, “I like Indian food and women.” He also told that many Indian professionals work in his current company. He tried to find out from Reddit users whether it was possible to live a good life in Delhi as a foreigner?
Got many types of reactions
The post garnered a ton of reactions, including encouragement, practical advice, jokes and serious warnings. Reddit users understood his fatigue with life in America and called him brave for thinking about such a big change. Some people welcomed the idea, saying that foreigners are often very warmly welcomed in Indian society. A large portion of the responses focused on Delhi’s poor air quality (AQI), which was considered a major hurdle. One user wrote that he would definitely be accepted culturally in Delhi as white people are often given a lot of respect here. However, he added that sometimes one might hear some sarcasm, but most people will be welcoming.
Many people advised him not to limit himself to Delhi only and urged him to explore other regions of India before settling down for a long term. One suggested, “Travel across India, stay in Delhi, go to Goa, enjoy tea in peace in Kerala, enjoy the rains of the North-East, and see the greenery of the Himachal mountains. Then decide where you want to live. You will find great food everywhere.”
