20210820 : Peer pressure


My nurses were discussing today about their phones. How old it is, etc.

One of them remarked that she would buy a new phone next month. She mentioned the make/ model as well.

The phone she mentioned probably costs 2 months pay she must be getting from the agency.

She is from north india, is staying away from home, working 24x7, most of the time indoors, not exactly a pleasure of a job, letting go of dietary longings, etc.

Now, I am no judge what anybody should desire or have. But on the surface, it seemed to me like a very disproportionate reward for the hard work and sacrifices she makes.

Peer pressure can be a real bummer!
