Techie chooses Hyderabad over Gurugram as job location, calls Gurgaon 1 of ‘5 sisters of agony’: Social media reacts

Tech professional Hashir opted for Hyderabad over Gurgaan, citing weather, living conditions and road safety concerns. In an Instagram video posted on September 9th, he garnered over 2 lakh views since then, criticizing Gurgaan's extreme heat, winter cold, flooding, heavy smog, and potential for air quality to drop to hazardous levels.

Hashir also deemed Gurgaan, along with Delhi, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Noida, as "the five sisters of agony and despair." He expressed sympathy for Gurgaan residents but voiced doubts about whether conditions would improve. The video drew varied reactions, with some users sharing similar experiences of depression and loss of appetite in Gurgaan, while others defended the city or defended North Indians' preference for its proximity to their hometowns.
