Bedeutung
To do things as one prefers or based on one's own judgment.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In cities like Mumbai and Delhi, 'अपने हिसाब से' is a mantra for the 'hustle culture'. It signifies breaking away from traditional career paths like medicine or engineering. Indian cooking is rarely about precise measurements. Most home cooks cook 'apne hisaab se' (by estimation/andaaz). Many iconic movie characters are defined by this phrase. It represents the 'rebel' who doesn't follow society's 'hisaab'. In very traditional settings, saying you will do something 'apne hisaab se' to an elder can be seen as slightly disrespectful, as it bypasses the elder's authority.
The 'Opinion' Shortcut
Use 'Mere hisaab se' at the start of any sentence to say 'In my opinion'. It's easier than 'Mujhe lagta hai'.
Don't over-calculate
If you use this phrase too much in a single conversation, you might sound a bit self-centered or stubborn.
