For the majority of people like us, residing in a major metropolitan area has become a necessity in recent years. The cities full of skyscrapers, busy streets, liberal society, and many opportunities seem like a dream for anyone who is not aware of that kind of development.
However, life in a major city is very different in practice from what most people think. Those who live in cities often feel alone, anxious, and in a constant battle for survival, making urban life a dystopian nightmare.

Many individuals might not completely comprehend what a dystopian world entails. In essence, it’s a civilization that seems ideal on the outside but is actually controlled by evil forces, such as a totalitarian government or a domineering and judgmental society.
If you have dystopian dreams, it may be a sign that, despite your outward appearance of happiness and fulfillment, you are actually fighting with inner problems that are causing you to be miserable. Even if you could appear to be leading a flawless life, a deeper inspection would show that things are not as great as they seem.
Sounds similar?
Not so surprisingly, it’s the story of the majority of Indians who were living in major cities such as Noida, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and many others. And one such story was recently shared by one Noida resident whose ordeal is going viral on social media.

Netizen compares Noida’s high rise to be similar to a “dystopian” dream
Social media is a popular platform for people to express their opinions about the places they live. In the same way that this Noida-based Twitter user did. He said on social media that he views living in a high-rise in the neighborhood as living in a “dystopian” fantasy.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote,
Living in Noida high rise societies is like living in a dystopian fever dream, the security is tighter than an airport, getting entry in these societies is as difficult as getting a visa appointment.

There’s toddlers playing in the park with 7-8 yo girls, (who are mostly the daughters of their full time house helps) tagged to each of these toddlers with a water bottle for the kids.
He went on to add,
The (nearby) areas are inaccessible to you if you don’t have a car, the nearest petrol pump is always 10 kms away. Drive thru culture is so normalised that people don’t park their cars, they just sit in their cars while the helper of the food truck comes with the menu first, then again to take your order, then again to serve you food, then again to take away the plate, then again to collect the pay.

It’s true and needed for any gated communities in India!
Especially for large gated communities which have 100 to 500 properties in a cluster, for them it’s necessary to monitor the footfall
Small gated communities who can’t afford security guards switching to automated systems

Well about the security, it’s needed. With more people, means more crime. And we have all types of people visiting this society. Everything is a click of a button. So better safe than sorry
