She named her space Bab Beti Farm, a place she now shares with her father.The second step was planting fruit trees. Rajguru says fruit trees require relatively little ongoing labour once established and can continue producing for years.She also decided to grow food on the property. Her argument is straightforward: having access to home-grown food can provide a degree of independence during situations such as lockdowns, wars or other disruptions.Flowers form another important part of the farm. For Rajguru, the idea is not simply about making the property attractive. She believes living around natural beauty can contribute to a calmer state of mind.'Retirement isn't about age'The larger message behind her lifestyle change is about redefining what retirement means.Rather than waiting until a traditional retirement age, Rajguru argues that people can choose to step away from a stressful lifestyle when they are able to create a sustainable alternative.Also Read: Archana Puran Singh’s son Aaryamann Sethi is buying a 3.5 BHK sea-facing apartment after YouTube success: All about his dream home“Retirement isn't about age, it's about choosing peace over pressure,” she said in the video.She also urged viewers to think beyond simply earning enough to survive. In her view, a home or farm should be a place that supports both physical needs and emotional well-being.Her Instagram caption invited people who dream of a similar lifestyle to follow her journey and consider where their own transition might begin.Social media users respondThe video has crossed 4 lakh views and generated a stream of comments from people attracted to the idea of leaving the conventional work routine behind.One user said they loved the name of the farm and described a similar lifestyle as a personal dream. Another said they also wanted to “choose peace over pressure.”A third commenter praised Rajguru's farm and said they hoped to create a space of their own one day.Some viewers were more practical, asking about the location of the property and the cost of land in the area.For Rajguru, however, the farm appears to represent more than an escape from a corporate job. It is an attempt to build a lifestyle where food, nature, family and personal well-being are part of everyday life.
