Reflecting on her time in Bengaluru, she shared how even a modest income brought her immense joy. Purohit recounted how in the pursuit of better opportunities and a bigger salary, she ended up in a vastly different place. Now in Dubai with a significantly higher salary, something seems amiss.
Felt Like the Richest Girl
She feels that some essential things are lacking here. Reminiscing about her first job in Bengaluru, she recalled that her salary was just 18,000 rupees per month. Upon receiving her first paycheck, she felt like the world's richest girl.
With that modest paycheck, she managed to cover her PG rent, street shopping, canteen meals, and weekend clubbing expenses. She even managed to save some money. She further expressed that she was happy with her salary, happy with her life back then. She felt like the happiest woman in the world.
Joined the Race and Lost Peace
She shared that she joined the rat race. Five years down the line, she earns significantly more than 18,000 rupees. She lives in Dubai but still isn't as happy as she was. She wonders about this 'race' robbing her of her peace of mind. She asks others to share their experiences if they resonate with her story.
Reactions from People
Seema Purohit's story has deeply resonated with audiences. People are reacting to her video in myriad ways, with many agreeing with her sentiments. One user mentioned, 'I used to get 100 rupees as pocket money 30 years ago and was happy.' Another shared, 'Now, we're adults.'
