Spent 5+ years in bangalore, hyderabad and delhi before that.
Got fed up of no infra, aqi, water scarcity, absurd mehangaai etc etc.
Planned and shortlisted few tier 3 cities ( suburban cities)
Packed my entire apartment and moved without a house or a job to one tier 3 town with my wife and dog.
Been 7+ months, will be staying here for lifetime for sure.
Moved, found a house, setup a few things, focused on health, invited parents to stay with me for few months and in 6-9 months, found a remote job.
I earn less than what i used to earn in Bangalore but i save more each month , veggies , fruits are fresh, air is clean, water is clean. Go in hikes on weekends now.
Indian cities are unlivable. Its suffocating and frustrating.
I had the best time of my life in Bangalore, dont get me wrong there but after moving i realised i was missing the basics of life ( like slow evenings, good food etc)
