Qatari Teen Shares Why He Chose To Move To India, But Internet Isn't Impressed
Last Updated:
Qatari native Mohammad Jueitem shared his experience in India, highlighting its contrast with life in the Gulf.
A Qatari teenager, who calls himself an 'international entrepreneur" on Instagram,
has posted a video about his choice and the reason for moving to India. Mohammad Jueitem talked about his experiences living in India and highlighted the differences he noticed between life in the Gulf region and India, one of the world's largest and most culturally varied countries. His reflections have ignited conversations online about the unique aspects of living in both places.
In the video, the 17-year-old says, 'I left the richest country in the world to live here in India," and goes on to explain why he traded the comfort and stability of the Gulf for the vibrant challenges and dynamic energy that India offers.
'In our countries, life is comfortable and predictable. But here, everything is different. Everyone is working tirelessly, and comfort doesn't seem to exist," Jueitem said in the now-viral clip. He praised India's 'hustle culture," sharing how locals passionately pursued their dreams, often working over 10 hours daily.
'This is persistence, passion, and discipline," he added. 'They're not just surviving—they're creating, innovating, and building," highlighting the country's energy, drive and spirit.
The young entrepreneur also revealed that he and his team were in India to develop a project called 'COSMOS," which he believes has great growth potential and the ability to make a meaningful impact. 'We are here to draw inspiration from India's vibrant energy," he added.
Since being posted, the video has received over 11,500 views and numerous likes. It sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some praising his viewpoint and offering encouragement. Others, however, criticised the tone and content of his message, leading to a lively debate across platforms.
A user wrote, 'Oh, so you left your 'rich and comfortable life' to move to India for business, and now you're filming trash like it's some shocking revelation? Bro, focus. You came here to make money, not a documentary. No one's begging you to stay."
Another expressed, 'This content was made to degrade India, not everywhere everything is the same in the country."
'Show the best parts of India. Britain looted our money. India is highly populous. We need time to improve standards. But people are generous," an individual commented.
'India is more comfortable for you because of White privilege," another user remarked.
Despite the divided opinions, the video kept gaining traction on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), fuelling ongoing conversations about how India is viewed through international eyes.

Protester crashes Apple WWDC 2025 keynote, shocks audience: Watch video
Apple's WWDC 2025 keynote was disrupted by a protestor, briefly interrupting software chief Craig Federighi as he introduced new features. The incident echoes similar protests at Microsoft's Build event earlier this month. The protest lasted around 30 seconds before security removed the individual. The disruption occurred just minutes into Federighi's speech. As per the video shared on social media, the individual entered the stage, unzipped their jacket to reveal a keffiyeh, and held up a badge, claiming to work at Apple, though much of the shouting was inaudible. After about half a minute, security escorted the person off stage and Federighi resumed the presentation without pause. Watch the video below. This incident follows a pattern of protests at high-profile tech events. Just weeks ago, staff at Microsoft's Build conference vocalised 'Free Palestine' messages and criticised the company's involvement with Israeli government contracts. Now, Apple finds itself on the receiving end of similar demonstrations as concerns around tech companies' ethical responsibilities increase. On X (formerly Twitter), videos of the protest went viral within minutes. One user posted the clip from the event, branding it 'one of the boldest WWDC disruptions yet.' Another commented: 'The keffiyeh reveal and badge claim felt like a deliberate challenge, timed perfectly with Federighi on stage.' Mobile Finder: iPhone 17 Air expected to launch later this year Apple has not yet released a formal statement about the disruption. Security protocols at its developer conference are now likely to come under scrutiny. This incident raises new questions about safeguarding major live events while balancing freedom of expression. The protest at WWDC highlights growing pressure on big tech to address global ethical concerns. As demonstrated at Microsoft's Build conference, where internal dissent publicly challenged corporate decisions, similar activism is now surfacing at Apple's showcase events. Observers suggest companies may need to better prepare for these moments, whether during in‑person or live-streamed keynotes, as employees and activists increasingly use tech platforms to press their cases.

The hidden job crisis: 25% of Americans are functionally unemployed and it's worse than it sounds
The unemployment rate in America seems low. However, a new report suggests a different story. The Ludwig Institute says the 'true' unemployment rate is much higher. It includes people working part-time or earning low wages. Black and Hispanic workers are affected more. The institute hopes to provide a clearer picture of the economic situation. This helps policymakers make better decisions. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The True Unemployment Rate Might Surprise You How LISEP Measures Who's Really Employed Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Work full-time (35 or more hours per week) Earn at least $25,000 annually before taxes Why the Official Numbers Doesn't Show the Real Picture Who's hit the hardest? Black workers: 27% functionally unemployed Hispanic workers: 28% White workers: 23% Women overall: more likely to be functionally unemployed than men Why it matters Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads FAQs At first glance, the U.S. job market looks strong, as the unemployment rate remained near a 50-year low in April 2025 at 4.2%, and American employers added 177,000 jobs, even amid the uncertainty of tariffs and trade wars, as per a the 'true' rate of unemployment in the US in April was 24.3%, which rose 0.03% from the previous month, as per the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP) data, reported Moneywise. LISEP's True Rate of Unemployment (TRU) includes the data of the unemployed people in the US and also the workers who are employed but still struggling, according to the Chair Gene Ludwig said, 'We are facing a job market where nearly one-in-four workers are functionally unemployed, and current trends show little sign of improvement,' quoted institute's metric, called the True Rate of Unemployment (TRU), redefines what it means to be employed, and unlike the Bureau of Labour Statistics, which counts a person as employed even if they worked as little as one hour in a two-week period, TRU focuses on whether that work is actually sustainable, according to the falling short of that, like part-time workers looking for more hours, those earning poverty-level wages, or people who aren't counted by the BLS because they stopped looking for work are included in the TRU, as per explained that, 'The harsh reality is that far too many Americans are still struggling to make ends meet, and absent an influx of dependable, good-paying jobs, the economic opportunity gap will widen,' as quoted in the official unemployment rate leaves out people who aren't actively job hunting, even if they want work, and in April, that included 5.7 million people, as per Moneywise. TRU includes them along with low-wage workers and the underemployed, offering a more complete view of who's actually making a living, according to the said the rate reported by the BLS is 'not technically false,' but is 'deceiving,' considering the number of Americans in the workforce who are 'employed on poverty-like wages' or 'on a reduced workweek that they do not want,' reported numbers are even more concerning when broken down by race and gender, as per Moneywise report:The institute also revealed that Black Americans have had a higher TRU than white Americans every single month since 1995, as per the says, this method, 'provide policymakers and the public with a more transparent view of the economic situation of all Americans, particularly low- and middle-income households, compared with misleading headline statistics,' quoted said, 'Amid an already uncertain economic outlook, the rise in functional unemployment is a concerning development,' adding, 'This uncertainty comes at a price, and unfortunately, the low- and middle-income wage earners ultimately end up paying the bill," as quoted in the reported by the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP), which aims to show the full picture of employment in the exactly, because it's just limited. LISEP says it's 'not technically false,' but it doesn't tell the full story.
