Doctor moves from Mumbai to small town

Dr. Garima Chauhan left Mumbai for a small-town medical practice, citing peace and balance over big-city hustle.

Her new role provides a free 2 BHK apartment with two balconies and hospital-provided transport, contrasting with Mumbai's cramped ₹30,000/month rental and exhausting train commutes.

She described daily train commutes in Mumbai that required waking up early, standing in overcrowded trains, and facing salary deductions for delays.

Chauhan stated that success is not about living in the biggest city but about choosing a life that gives peace, time, and balance.

Her Instagram post on this decision went viral, resonating with many social media users.
