A resident of Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, has gone viral on Instagram for comparing the experience of living in high-rise buildings to that of living in Mumbai's chawls, which are low-cost, multi-storeyed residential societies. In the video, the resident pointed out that his building has 175 flats housing 350-400 residents, yet only two lifts are functional, with only one operating at a time. This has led to long wait times for residents trying to access their homes. The caption of the video humorously stated, 'This is not luxury, this is vertical chawl life with premium maintenance,' highlighting the frustrations of high-rise living. The video has attracted over 1.6 million views and numerous comments from others in the Delhi-NCR region who shared similar sentiments about their living conditions. Many users echoed the sentiment that flats are often marketed as luxury but fall short of expectations, particularly in terms of amenities and maintenance.
