Nistha Tripathi, a founder based in Gurgaon, shared her house-hunting experience on Instagram, revealing why she and her husband turned down offers from luxury residential societies. Despite their broker's surprise, the couple prioritized a peaceful environment for their daughter, rejecting the pressure of brand comparisons prevalent in affluent areas. Tripathi expressed her desire for her daughter to grow up without the anxiety of social status, stating, 'I didn’t want my daughter growing up in a place where her first social instinct was to notice brands instead of names.' They ultimately selected a quieter community with older residents, opting for a home filled with books rather than opulence. This choice has led to a more fulfilling lifestyle focused on experiences rather than material upgrades. Their decision resonated with many on social media, with users praising their approach to simple living and the importance of belonging to a community. Tripathi's reflections align with the philosophy of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, emphasizing that happiness is relative to one's surroundings.
