Personal Choice: How Everyday Decisions Shape Your Life

Ever wonder why you pick one dish over another or decide to speak out on a taboo topic? Those moments are personal choices – tiny decisions that add up to big changes. On this page we bring together stories that show how Indians tackle food, fashion, work, and social pressure in their own way.

Food, Flavor and Freedom

Think about the last time you ordered a plate of biryani or tried a new street snack. One of our writers asks, "Why is Indian food so famous?" The answer isn’t just spices; it’s the freedom to explore flavor without a rulebook. Another post compares the tastiest Indian dishes, putting biryani, butter chicken and gulab jamun side by side. These pieces remind us that choosing what to eat is a simple act of personal expression.

Social Norms vs. Individual Voice

Some choices clash with tradition. A contributor asks, "Do you feel okay drinking alcohol as an Indian woman?" The response is clear: drinking is a personal decision, not a cultural dictate, as long as it’s done responsibly. Another article debates the beauty of news anchors, showing that personal taste varies widely and isn’t bound by any single standard.

Even bigger questions appear: should a public sector company like Air India be audited after a private takeover? The answer reflects a belief that transparency is a shared choice for all citizens, regardless of ownership.

When it comes to career moves, a custom Google Data Studio dashboard can boost ROI in just 24 hours. The writer’s choice to use data visualization turned a boring spreadsheet into a powerful decision‑making tool.

On the tech side, the iPhone 17 Pro’s new Cosmic Orange color is a design choice that lets users stand out. It shows how personal style extends beyond clothing to the gadgets we hold.

All these stories share a common thread – they’re about people making choices that matter to them, no matter what anyone else thinks. Whether you’re picking a snack, deciding on a career tool, or speaking up about alcohol, the power is in your hands.

So the next time you face a decision, big or small, remember you’re joining a long line of Indians who turn personal preference into a statement. Your choice, your voice, your story – that’s what makes it worth sharing.

Why don't you want to live in India?

Why don't you want to live in India?

Despite India's rich culture and history, I find living there challenging due to several reasons. The country struggles with pollution, overpopulation and inadequate infrastructure which can make daily life difficult. Corruption and bureaucracy also hinder progress and can make simple tasks, like setting up utilities, unnecessarily complicated. Safety, especially for women, is another serious concern. Lastly, the high level of poverty and socio-economic inequality is disheartening.
