'Nobody Here Cares About Anyone Else’: Indian Woman Says Life In New Zealand Is Boring, Misses Gossiping Aunties

A woman living in New Zealand talks about her life abroad and compares it with India in a video that has caught people’s attention. At first, she sounds unsure about staying there, but as she continues, her point of view becomes clearer and takes an unexpected turn.

The video starts with the woman saying, “I’m thinking of moving back to India. I just can’t seem to settle in here in New Zealand; my heart isn’t in it.”

She then talks about her surroundings and daily life. Pointing to her area, she says, “You see, the people here are, well, they are quite strange. This is the neighbourhood in New Zealand where I live, and right there is my neighbours’ house, people whose faces I haven’t even seen to this day. Honestly, nobody here cares about anyone

else.”

She continues by explaining how people behave there, adding, “If someone were to encroach upon even an inch of their land, they wouldn’t bat an eye. If a Lamborghini were parked right in front of someone’s house, they wouldn’t give it a second thought. If a relative became a millionaire overnight, they wouldn’t feel a shred of envy. I mean, the rest of the world can go to hell for all they care; they are solely concerned with themselves. No jealousy, no competition,” she adds.

At this point, she questions the lifestyle, saying, “Seriously, is this even a life? It’s so bland, so dull, there’s absolutely no excitement in it. There’s no one here stirring up trouble, no aunties sitting in the lanes gossiping about one another, and nobody cares who ran off with whose daughter, whose daughter-in-law wore “revealing” clothes, who’s getting a lavish necklace made, who got married, who had a baby, or who’s still waiting for a son. I mean, nobody cares at all. So guys, I’m actually not going back to India,” she further states.

She then clears her point towards the end. “I was simply trying to tell you that life here is so peaceful that concepts like comparison and competition simply don’t exist in people’s minds. You won’t find gossip or drama here, but the sheer joy you will experience living in harmony with nature, that is where you will truly discover the real meaning of life,” she says.

As more people watched it, many shared their thoughts. A user said, “Same vibe here in Australia! No nosy questions, no gossip about who’s driving what car or how big their house is. The best part? People genuinely don’t judge you, no matter who you are or what you do. No jealousy over success. It’s peaceful, live-and-let-live energy. Miss the warmth sometimes, but this non-judgmental respect? Absolute blessing for the soul.”

Another wrote, “Sarcasm on its peak.”

“I am not moving to New Zealand if they won’t do chugli. Chugli is the favourite pastime of elders,” a person joked.

“Absolutely true. My friend said the same thing about New Zealand. Same thing in the US also,” an individual stated.
