Guwahati's Young Couples Embrace DINK Lifestyle, Redefining Parenthood

In the city of Guwahati, some young couples are deciding not to have children right away, or maybe not at all.

They are a bit like a team where both people have jobs and make money, but they are choosing to use that money for things like traveling, building their careers, or just having more free time.

This is called the 'DINK' lifestyle.

They feel it's important to live life on their own terms before taking on the big job of raising a family.

Some couples say it's because life is expensive, and they want to be sure they can give a child a good life.

Others enjoy the freedom to do what they love.

However, older people in the community still believe that having children is very important for a full and happy life and worry that young couples might regret their choices later.
