C1 Idiom ニュートラル

अपनी खाल में मस्त रहना

apni khal mein mast rehna

To be self-content

意味

To be happy and satisfied with one's own situation, unconcerned with others.

🌍

文化的背景

The term 'Mast' is a technical term in Sufi mysticism for someone who is 'God-intoxicated.' Such people often ignored social norms, which is why the idiom carries a sense of being 'unbothered by the world.' With the rise of social media anxiety, this idiom is being reclaimed by mental health advocates to encourage 'self-validation' over 'likes.' In a culture where 'Log Kya Kahenge' (What will people say) is a dominant force, using this idiom can be a sign of either great wisdom or great stubbornness. Many Bollywood songs use the word 'Mast' to describe a carefree, almost divine state of love or self-joy, reinforcing the idiom's positive vibes.

Gender Check
