We are so engrossed in our lightning-fast lives that we forget to be grateful for whatever we have and keep seeking more and more.When seeking wisdom, we think that wise advice only comes from books and philosophers, but sometimes, it shows up in the most unexpected places, even coming from the middle of the hiss of steam and the smell of fresh linen, and quite literary!

‘Presswala’ gives valuable advice to be grateful and keep going
Recently, an Instagram influencer named Krishan Presswala, who goes by the bio “Your mom already knows me (as a press wala) 😉 I make better content than your avg influencer,” posted a reel, where he reminds us to be grateful for whatever we have.The clip shows him at his ironing setup, pressing clothes as usual, while sharing a piece of everyday philosophy on his account. According to the video posted with text overlay “Be grateful for whatever God has given you”, captioned as Stay happy and stay grateful for everything❤️☀️”, he says,” whatever is written in one’s fate will happen on its own, but nothing comes simply by wishing for it endlessly without effort”.He goes further, saying, “Khush rehna chahiye, jo kar rahen hain wo karte rehna chahiye,” meaning people should stay content doing whatever work they’re already doing, rather than getting stuck wishing they’d done something differently.ID@undefined Caption not available.ID@undefined Caption not available.
The message about mental health
What stands out most is the practical warning in the middle of the clip. According to Krishan, dwelling on what didn’t happen or what one couldn’t achieve only ends up damaging the body, and one worry left unchecked has a way of turning into another kind of illness altogether, which means that unresolved stress doesn’t just sit quietly; it tends to multiply.
Social media response
The video has received numerous comments, likes, and reshares online and has been going viral ever since.One user wrote, “Rich from heart”, another added, Don’t skip low-quality video 😍”, a third user wrote, “Bhai ne khush kr di dil 😢🙌❤️”. Another user wrote, “I needed to hear this today.”.
