The author critically laments India's "development," which he perceives as introducing hardship and making major cities like Gurugram, Bengaluru, and Mumbai unliveable due to poor infrastructure. He argues that even idyllic places fail to meet standards, making internal relocation more expensive and futile than leaving. Concluding India has become a "mofussil hellhole," he resolves to move abroad for a better life, highlighting the decline and challenges of escaping the nation.
