Average life in US vs Bihar: Man's viral video on what's 'normal' in both places sparks internet debate

Moving abroad often changes the way people look at everyday life, and one Indian man living in the United States has sparked a discussion online after sharing his experience. Arham Ishteyak, originally from Bihar and now living in the US, recently posted a video on Instagram comparing what he calls the "average life" in America with the lifestyle many people back home consider a sign of success.

His video has struck a chord with social media users, with many joining the conversation about quality of life, opportunities and living standards.

What Did the Bihar Man Say in His Viral Video?

In the video, Arham explains how people's perception of success changes depending on where they live. Sharing the clip on Instagram, he wrote, "Average life in Bihar vs average life in the USA. Same person... completely different reality."

According to him, many people in India might assume that someone with a good job, the latest iPhone, regular travel plans and fashionable clothes is living an extraordinary life.

However, he argued that these things are fairly common in the United States.
