Trips don’t spoil us. They remind us what we’ve accepted as “normal” - Chess grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi shares an alarming message
Every time I come back from a peaceful place, the city feels harsher. Same roads, same traffic, same AQI. The only thing that changed was my awareness. Trips don’t spoil us. They remind us what we’ve accepted as “normal”. Ever felt this post-vacation whiplash?

Trips don’t spoil us. They remind us what we’ve accepted as “normal”.
After his recent exit from the FIDE chess world cup which is currently underway in Goa in India, the Indian super chess grandmaster shared an alarming yet thoughtful message on his Instagram handle @viditchess
The early exit for the Indian superstar player was a disappointment for all his fans but this social media post was also equally concerning.
Vidit shares the sharp contrast between places which are close to nature, silence and peace and places which are overflowing with population and pollution. He also shares his concerns over the detonating conditions of the air quality and how people honk without a reason.
Did you watch the video? What are your thoughts on this?
