"No One's Begging You To Stay": Qatari Teen Faces Backlash For Video Explaining Why He Moved To India
Mohammad Jueitem, who identifies himself as an "international entrepreneur" on Instagram, has triggered a debate on social media after posting a video explaining his decision to relocate to India. In his video, Mr Jueitem, who is originally from Qatar, shared his experience in India and the contrast he observed between life in the Gulf and in one of the world's most populous and diverse nations. "I left the richest country in the world to live here in India," the 17-year-old says in the video, before explaining why he chose to leave behind the comfort and predictability of the Gulf for the challenges and energy of India.
"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 clip. He praised India's "hustle culture," recounting how locals spoke passionately about their ambitions and worked more than 10 hours a day in pursuit of their goals. "This is persistence, passion, and discipline. They are not just surviving, they are creating, innovating, and building," he said.

Further, the young entrepreneur shared that he and his team are in India to work on a venture called "COSMOS", which he described as having "a lot of room for growth" and potential to "leave an impact." "We are here to get inspired by that energy," he said.
Since being shared, the video has accumulated more than 11,000 views and several likes. It has triggered mixed reactions from social media users. While some appreciated the perspective and shared encouraging words, others criticised the tone and content of his statements.
"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," wrote one user. "this content was made to degrade India, not everywhere everything is same in the country," expressed another.
"Show the best parts of India. Britain looted our money. India is highly populous. We need time to improve standards. But people are generous," commented a third user.
"Oh after white saviours we have arab saviours. Cool," wrote another.

6 Stunning Places To Visit In South India During Monsoon (And Why They Hit Different In The Rain)
Travelling during the rainy season has its own charm - fewer crowds, cooler weather and views that look like they have been run through an Instagram filter. And while every corner of India offers something beautiful, monsoon does have favourites. If you are planning a getaway that pairs well with cloudy skies and green hills, South India is where the magic really happens. From waterfalls in full flow to hills wrapped in mist, here are six monsoon-perfect places in South India that feel like they were made for the rainy season. Here Are 6 Stunning Places To Visit In South India During Monsoon: Wayanad, Kerala This hill station in Kerala does not just get greener in the monsoon - it feels alive. The smell of wet soil, the misty mornings and the lush Western Ghats all come together here. Add Chembra Peak, Neelimala View Point and Meenmutti Waterfall to your list - these are not just tourist spots, they are full-blown monsoon experiences. Munnar, Kerala Munnar in the monsoon is a different story altogether. Think rolling tea gardens soaked in rain, cool breezes and landscapes that feel like oil paintings. It is also the kind of place where nature lovers lose track of time. Be careful though - the roads get slippery after a downpour. If you are heading here, add elephant rides and boating at Kundala Lake to your itinerary. Coorg, Karnataka Often called the 'Scotland of India' (and this time, the nickname actually fits), Coorg is South India's comfort zone during the rains. The mist, the waterfalls, the endless coffee plantations - it all feels cinematic. Abbey Falls is a must-trek, and the freshly brewed filter coffee hits differently in that foggy mountain air. Chikmagalur, Karnataka Chikmagalur is not just about coffee - though let us be honest, that is reason enough to go. What really makes it shine during monsoon is its raw natural beauty. Hebbe Falls, Kemmanagundi, Hirkole Lake and Kolathgiri Falls are not just photo ops; they are places where you want to sit quietly for a while and soak it all in. Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu If you are looking for a hill station that wears rain like a designer coat, Kodaikanal is it. From July to September, the place comes into its own - think mist-covered hills, glassy lakes and moody skies. Visit Kodai Lake, Bryant Park, Dolphin's Nose and Silver Cascade Falls. The views? Straight out of a travel calendar. Agumbe, Karnataka Agumbe is what happens when the Western Ghats decide to show off. Come August, this sleepy hamlet turns into a lush, waterfall-studded haven. Popular with trekkers and rain lovers, it is also home to ancient temple ruins and research centres tucked deep inside rainforests. Do not skip Sunset Point, Kodlu Tirtha Waterfall and the Agumbe Rainforest Research Station. Things To Keep In Mind When Travelling During Monsoon Pack smart: An umbrella and raincoat are not optional during monsoon travel. Keep them within easy reach. Protect your gear: Use waterproof backpacks or carry plastic covers to shield your electronics and clothes. Shoes matter: Carry water-resistant shoes with good grip. Slipping on mountain trails is not part of the itinerary. Travelling in monsoon means unpredictable weather - but it also means greener valleys, emptier roads and views that feel surreal. If you are chasing quiet, nature and that post-rain smell in the air, these six spots in South India are calling. No filters needed.

Viral Now: Woman Packs 100 Outfits For Weeklong Cruise, Internet Defends Her "Girl Math"
Everyone has different packing styles. The number of outfits we pack tends to depend on the weather, destination, length and purpose of travel and several other factors. To finalise how many clothes we need, each of us may come up with our own "math" or calculation style. Recently, the "girl travel math" used by one vlogger for packing for a weeklong cruise went viral on social media and sparked a debate in the comments section. The reel features content creator couple Ashley and Derek Hartig. The now-viral video shows Ashley leading her husband into a room where many items of clothing have been neatly arranged on the floor. She tells him that she has picked out 100 outfits. Derek tells her that their trip is for seven days, and she reminds him that she is packing for 5 people. Derek is still not convinced. "Look at everything I did. I just need you to get it into these two suitcases," she tells him. He replies, "I need you to go get your brain checked because I think you're insane." Ashley doesn't agree with his perspective. She admits that it may seem "crazy," but claims that it is "actually organised." Derek asks her if she thinks all of the clothes will fit in the two suitcases. She says, "I don't know. You let me know in the morning if you can do it. I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going to go." Derek cannot believe that he has to pack all 100 outfits. But Ashley insists, and we get a brief glimpse of his efforts. Watch the complete viral video below. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ashley Hartig (@ Also Read: These Pre-Trip Travel Hacks Are Your Guide For A Hassle-Free Journey In the comments section, many people felt that 100 outfits for 5 people for a weeklong trip was a fairly sensible decision. Others thought that it was overpacking. Read some of the reactions of Instagram users below: "She dressed the entire family, bro, make it fit." "The math is mathing girl!!!!! You did amazing!" "Okay, but actually the girl math is pretty close here! 100 outfits for 5 people is 20 outfits for the trip. For 7 days, that's about 2-3 a day. Cruises, you usually have a day outfit, and a dinner outfit, + maybe suits, pjs, and excursion outfits. It's not too crazy!" "Imagine doing all this work, and a man can't even be bothered to try and make it fit into two suitcases." "Okay, sounds crazy at first, but for 5 people who pack 1 regular outfit, 1 nice outfit for dinner and then 1 pyjama set or swimwear ... and you're looking at 105 outfits! right on!" "He's complaining? He got a much easier job. The mental and physical load of all the laundry, and sorting, and figuring out what each person needs is waaaaay harder than packing them in a suitcase." "Vacuum seal them!! Everything will fit!!" "This man does not understand how amazing she is for doing this!!!!" "I was gonna say that's crazy, but I heard 5 people and it all made sense. Dang, that's a lot of work, good job!!" "You won't need 3/4 of that. You'll end up in your bathing suit most of the time. Seriously, been on 18 cruises. You are wayyyyyyy over packed." "Ok, the math makes sense once you think about the number of people and the likelihood of wearing 2-3 per day. The crazy eyes can be attributed to the exhaustion after the hard work and the satisfaction of a job well done. So, hate being the one to ask... why just TWO suitcases for FIVE people?"
