Indian woman in Singapore compares life after moving from India: ‘Still not over how it functions so well’
An Indian woman shared glimpses of life in Singapore and praised the city’s order, safety and green spaces.
Published on: May 03, 2026 9:04 PM IST By Mahipal Singh Chouhan Share via Copy link An Indian woman living in Singapore has shared a glimpse of what daily life in the city state looks like after moving from India. Taking to Instagram, the woman, identified as Prachi, posted a video capturing several everyday scenes from Singapore, from its clean footpaths and green buildings to its busy streets and public spaces. An Indian woman compared India and Singapore after moving there and said the city functioned remarkably well. (Instagram/traveltalesbyprachi) (Also read: Domestic worker in Singapore alleges British Indian family made her sleep on yoga mat: ‘I felt uncomfortable') In the text overlaid on the clip, she wrote, “I moved from the 5th largest economy to the 32nd largest, and this is how it looks. More dogs than kids. I mean, look at the bus stop. Green buildings. View from the balcony. What are these footpaths? Movement is therapy. BRB, crying. Organised chaos. Always on the go. Safest. None other but Singapore.” The video was shared with the caption, “4 months in this city and still not over how it manages to function so well.” (Also read: Indian man in Singapore says corporate culture sold ‘a big lie’: ‘It’s just exhaustion with a salary slip’)‘Movement is therapy’
Prachi’s video appeared to focus on how a city’s planning and public infrastructure can shape everyday life. The phrase “What are these footpaths?” especially stood out, as many viewers interpreted it as a comparison with the condition of pedestrian infrastructure in several Indian cities. Her comment “movement is therapy” also suggested how walkable spaces and organised public areas can affect a person’s mood and lifestyle. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Prachi | Travel & Singapore (@traveltalesbyprachi)Internet reacts
The clip attracted several reactions from social media users, many of whom related to her observations. One user wrote, “Singapore is proof that a city can be fast paced and still feel peaceful.” Another said, “The footpaths alone are enough to make any Indian emotional.” A third commented, “This is what happens when urban planning is taken seriously.” (Also read: ‘Works from 5 am to 9:30 pm’: Domestic helper in Singapore alleges limited food, forced to buy essentials) Several users also spoke about the contrast between India’s economic growth and its civic challenges. “Being the fifth largest economy means little if basic public spaces are not usable,” one person wrote. Another added, “India has the scale and talent, but we really need better city planning.” (Disclaimer: This report is based on user-generated content from social media.
