People from Goa, Ladakh, Chandigarh, Himachal, and few other less populated places, avoid to travel densely populated cities and states. Bcz those places very well educated and very quite and clean. Unlike populous India.
To be fair, most of her points are about Mumbai itself, and not about India. I know she can't speak for entire India, not even Indians can, but I just want to remind you that India is not only about Delhi or Mumbai. I am from North-East India and here pollution, slum, traffic are almost non-existant. Weather is pleasant, people can speak more English, women are safe here etc. India is just too diverse.
@@SimpsonsClipsHindiI didn't said women are not safe in India. I just counter her argument that she thinks only Mumbai is safe because of it's rich and costly neighborhood, but I just gave a example of North-East India as reference to women safety in India.
It's mumbai centric just like how Immigrants in the US would portray the NYC lifestyle/LA lifestyle as the norm representation of the entire US. xd But you're right xd
@@rs-dp6prit was beautiful too other than spiritual but you have to look in history too for why things changed, but change is the only constant. India is growing and things will improve..
@@WTFuzzzz I wish India the best.. as for right now.. it needs 30 years to catch up with even Vietnam. hopefully they will be better.. past experiences haven't been great..
As an Indian living in Europe from last 7 years i can totally say that Europeans are not friendly at all. Sometimes you can feel lonely but being foreigner in India you can be treated as celebrity. Europe has everything but it's difficult to find a good social life. I am honestly saying i m here to make money but i miss India every single day. We may have lot of problems but there is no country better than India ❤
My god...The western Europeans are SOOO UNFRIENDLY...especially Germans. Can't befriend them. They judge you hard (still have that hitler xenophobia inside). I like their socialist policies but...that's about it
India in itself a different planet altogether. The good, the bad, the contrasts, the harmony, the pleasant and the non pleasant.......a mega cocktail of everything and there is absolutely no one way to describe about Bharat......Jai Bharat
Patricia is amazing. She has understood the soul of Indians and India is also lucky and enriched having people like her living and working here. If she wants green spaces, she needs to travel 80-100 kms away from mumbai city, you can find quiet localities in mumbai as well.
I’m Singaporean and stayed in Mumbai for a year. It is safe, people are really fun and cool. And there’s lots of money to make :-) but it’s better to raise a family in Singapore.
As an Indian who has travelled and lived in different parts of the country, I can say , she is the first foreigner I came across who completely gets it. The nuances, the variation, the layers everything, the good, the bad...the biggest thing about India is, you can't generalize ANYTHING, even the most stereotypical and recognizable and widespread thing may be completely unrecognizable or unfamiliar somewhere else. While most of what she said is true in Mumbai and a large part of India, some things may not be. For example, that stereotypical headbobbing is completely unfamiliar in the parts where I belong(East and North East), we used to have the same trouble just as the foreigners do when we first visited the southern part of the country.
Agreed, stereotyping an entire nations population (especially large ones) into one…category, mindset, ideology is ridiculous. Simple analogy for the broader premise… food. The differences in flavors, regional cuisine, ingredients, cooks… all nuanced and very specific. Apply that to other aspects, music, humor, customs, history etc. and you have a truly unique experience. I only become wary of globalization if a side effect is if fast food chains and shopping malls all over the world are your only choices… …good insight brother, reminds me of an American saying “You’re not in Kansas anymore” 🙏
I m very Proud, that our Country made her one of us and she loves it. Vande Mataram❤🇮🇳 India is our Mother to all of us and she will take care you like a daughter always.
What an amazing woman, the use of the word "we", the optimism, the sense of comfort in her own skin, the compassion...she would be happy and will create happiness in any country or culture that's lucky to have her.
What an incredible human being she is! So much depth & nuance in her understanding of India as she experiences it. Ofcourse some things are city related - Mumbai is exceptionally safe for women, this may not be true in some other cities. Mumbai is also exceptionally crowded & the landscape changes every few seconds from modern high rises to slums. Other cities are often not that extreme. But Mumbai is a wonderful experience for Indians & foreigners alike. Its hard not to love India after you have experinced life in Mumbai.
What I admire the most about this video is the level of understanding about India. She has gone beyond the things that are wrong in our society to appreciate what is good. That's what helps you appreciate cities. Also, on the subject of Paris vs Mumbai, I was robbed of my luggage in Paris airport ... but that never happens inside an airport in India. In general, I felt more safe in Mumbai than whenever I visited Paris.
Getting robbed in an airport is abnormal. I have visited more than 43 countries in the world and transited through many more airports. The only place where I got robbed is Paris CDG. In a different trip, my boss got robbed as well. In Singapore, I lost my sun glasses, Singapore Changi guys couriered the glasses to me on my request. In Dubai, my daughter lost her gold bracelet. They located and returned it. I am not saying this in air but out of practical experiences. @@ZaWarudo69
@@murlimohanrao well then that’s a ‘you’ problem rather than the country’s security. One is expected to learn from mistakes in different experiences but from what you described, it seems you kept making same mistakes and were never cautious. Also, you just happened to not get robbed. Your not being robbed doesn’t objectively declare the entire security status of the whole country, because by your original comment, you’re making it seem as if the world revolves around you and if YOU didn’t experience a negative experience in india, the whole tourism/citizens don’t as well ( for confusion you used : *but that ‘never’ happens inside an airport in india.* ).
She is too precious. Her thoughts are so positive and well thought out and the fact that she is so gorgeous adds to the whole experience of listening to her
Patricia I think you are really an epitome of definition of India. You did express that you may stay elsewhere, but don’t worry you will not let India out of yourself. All your points are valid and truth. Loads of love.
This is true. The convenience and efficient services we can have which is just few taps away on the phone in today's India is awesome. Thanks for uploading this video. My views would be similar to her's, the only exception would be, do not leave your phones unless you have a close friend or family guarding your phone. Even though cities are generally safe in India, it is still wiser to stay vigilant and reasonably guarded.
@@MaxChernov😊So we have to be very careful about our own belongings 😁😁when and where your Belonging will be others you won't know 😁😁. I am an Mumbaikar but staying 80 kms away from city by Local Train it's Badlapur Station 😊😊
I am an Indian. And when I visited Ukraine, I visited this beautiful little town called Kolommiya, and some people there wanted to take pictures with us (me and my Taiwanese friend) same happened in Kosiv. So, humans are curious basically.
12:23 her point about covering up is so important. I have a European friend who often pushes the idea that people should just accept that it is a ‘body’ but it is pretty disrespectful and culturally blind to not realise you are in a different place and should adapt to their customs as needed. This lady is in india and has accepted that the country is as it is. I love moving and travelling but i do miss home a lot even though it is crowded and crazy!
What a beautiful and relaxed interview! Thanks for this. These are the criticisms India needs to told and does take seriously. I hope Patricia settles here! Take care...
Specially Ganesh festival.The crowd dance from Bindi Bazar to Gate of India and throw Ganesh in the see. Diwali is nice too.Holi a bit too much.Oh forgot Shivaratri.
India is no Japan or South Korea. DO NOT leave your phone or anything expensive outside unless you wanna lose it. Saying this as a born and raised Indian currently living in Europe. Also, she is right. India is amazing at services. I find India to be more convenient than Switzerland, the country I'm currently in due to my partner. Switzerland is physically beautiful (stunning landscape & tip top cleanliness) but Indians are unbeaten when it comes to how friendly, accepting and kind the locals are (generally speaking) and also procuring services as a customer is WAY WAY WAY MORE convenient in India. They have apps for every type of service including medicines and groceries that get delivered either on the same day or next day and basically everything. I'm always amazed at how efficient India is in terms of services whenever I return. I don't have to wait 2 weeks to see a specialist. In India, I can see a specialist on the same day if I want to . As much as I enjoy Switzerland and the affordability and convenience of being able to travel to neighboring european countries, I have actually been considering returning back to India. My swiss partner loves India too and is totally onboard with the idea of living in India. I've travelled to many countries but no one is friendlier than us Indians. My partner says the same thing. He says the people is what makes India amazing.
I completely agree with what you said. just wanna add, There are areas in India that are just as picturesque, just as serene and clean as switzerland, This includes vast areas of Arunachal, Northern Sikkim, Remote Ladak, Some remote valleys of Kashmir, entire Lakshadeep and some Islands of Andaman. and if you calculate the total areas of those places, they would actually be more than the area of Switzerland. But, yes, the difference is, these places are largely untouched by humans, while in Switzerland human curation and natural beauty go hand in hand.
well because we have been brought up with that fear but remember we always always get back our stuffs easily if we forget somewhere. people do real effort to return things if it is important like some documents or id cards without expecting anything return. if there is accident or someone in need of help people come and help with every possible way they will even leave their work drop you to hospital and stay there until unless someone is not arrive without expecting anything in return. this kindness is no where in the world visible. it is only and only in india because we believe in "seva"
@@MaxChernov Soon the airport that you are currently landing in Mumbai on will be exclusively for domestic flights. International travel will happen from the new airport coming up in Navi Mumbai. Mumbai is under construction. there are lots of new construction happening. 350 km worth of new metro is being built. With underground stations, underground road tunnels. I ask my foreign friends to not give up on India just yet. We are still in an infancy phase or I should rather say we are just getting started. There are also new greenfield cities coming up all across the country. If you have visited Mumbai and other Indian cities now (where a lot of these projects and constructions are happening) please also come to visit the Mumbai of 2030 when all these projects would be complete. Also the slums that you see in Mumbai would be gone.
I love all ur videos .. being a Indian seeing an outsider views about India is something amazing ..we Indians complaint not happy with our politicians but sometimes we forget to appreciate what we have .. I always believe things will get better and it’s getting better in 5yrs
She’s such a beautiful soul! Really insightful interview that really captured the nuances of Mumbai🥰 She has a very French character- poetic, artistic, articulate way of seeing the world.
@@abrahamlincoln6704 I'm not appeasing anyone. It's the same for most of us. As long as our perception of the places we live in is acceptable and good in our eyes, we'll love it.
WOW!! A good video from someone who got use to Mumbai. This city has lots of energy and multi-dimensions. Enjoy your stay and make Mumbai more popular.
Fantastic to see this max. Love your unbiased and open conversations. If possible visit Hyderabad, Delhi, Chennai, Pune to get different perspective. Mumbai is a completely different world ( good way) compared to all other cities in India.
One of the MOST 'wholesome' content that I have seen in recent times! The lady is absolutely gracious and open minded, the host is very non intrusive and relevant!! India is not perfect...but that's part of the charm! It's the litmus test...if you can adjust with the chaotic balance here, you will love this place. Else, you will think that this country is impossible to live in. Either ways...ITS INDIA!! 😊 It was absolutely worth the time watching the video till the end!!
She started giving advice to other foreigner just like an Indian.... " don't come and kiss each other. Because that's not what we do here".... She started being just like an Indian... I appreciate this lady and feel that she has become Indian herself... Cheers
Mumbai and Pune are the safest cities. Very cosmopolitan and Maharashtrians are very accepting of migrants from different states or countries. You respect the language Marathi and culture and you will be treated with utmost respect. You get everything what you would in any major city in the world. May you have a safe, happy and healthy life here in India.
A great video ..well done Max….👍👍🤩🥳 This lady’s perception on the Indian ppls good naturedess is spot on. They don’t like confrontation and avoid them usually. But she didn’t elaborate on the aspect of community living in an apartment complex .The Indians are inclusive in having group celebrations especially during festivals and the hospitality can be heart warming to the soul. Also …the spirituality of the nation is inspiring and unmatched and not found in many other countries… India is truly beautiful and unique…👍🌺❤️
The community living has both good and bad sides. For people whose lifestyles matches with the community expecations its a match made in heaven. For others who have slightly different viewpoints its hell.
I am mumbaikar now living in Singapore. The reason to choose Singapore is safety. There are more things also. I can totally relate with her view, she was completely honest when she said she might not go back to france. That is charm of mumbai. The people and small little convenience you get at fraction of price elsewhere.
08:32 The sideward head nods is neither Yes nor No. It is "I Understand", "It's Okay", "I Agree", "I can do it", "I am Fine". Lifting both the shoulders is "May Be". Truly, Love the interview 🥰
As an Indian who recently came back from Russia, I would say that India is much more lively and beautiful place compared to any Russian city or village. Although Russians will become as kind of warm like indians after few drinks. But thanks for making this video. Will suggest you to make more videos on india from different regions , like Ladakh, South India, Himalayas, Sikkim, North East India, Bengal. Good video documentary by the way. Keep up the Good job. желаю тебе здоровья брат.
Its the climate , cold weather WILL make you more colder, Russians are incredibly kind and warm people,the weather and lack of sun makes you moody and even angry
@15:40 - .. and you're sorted. That's a sign someone's lived in Mumbai for a bit. 😉 Great content. From Mumbai, but I live in Canada and I indulge in your videos to reminisce my city. A city of buzzing LIFE. Thank you so much brother.
I am an INDIAN and i learned one thing from this video before choosing the clothes which to where see around what they are wearing and you can where accordingly, Because of so much diversity it will be easy that way, this is the best ambassador to represent what genuine INDIA is, INDIAN government should make them tourist ambassador to represent INDIA in world stage it will increase tourism in INDIA
Just recently found and subscribed to Max’s channel. Amazing content on India. I am an American and have been bullish on India since 2008. Definitely think that India is on a massive growth trajectory.
I would like to appreciate the lady, her observations and thoughts..really practical ❤ not so much afraid of the rawness that India comes with other smooth things....
Yes, you are definitely right. I really like all the people Max had interviewed especially from Malaysia and Singapore. Now that he's going global, we can anticipate more wonderful interviews. 😄
The pollution after Diwali is actually not due to fireworks, Firework pollution stays there for maximum of 2 days, after that it's all due to burning of paddy fields. She might not know this because media only focuses on blaming the 1 day of joyous festival. Fireworks are not unique to India but only Diwali gets the blame and the actual reasons are ignored.
Not really. Not everywhere it's paddy burning. That is in Delhi Noida region. What she really meant about pollution in India during Diwali is reality. Indians don't realize how worse to an extreme level diwali fireworks pollute the climate. And our religious sentiments alongside political pampering for it blinds us to not realize the intensity of it or accept this fact as we are so accustomed to even traffic pollution and this feels just a level up, so we don't truly understand the gravity of situation. It's just like slums are great, they are happy living there during heavy rains, they are used to it kind of justification many give. India needs to revive a lot of situations like better livelihood for people in slums, fix pollution, population, infrastructure and traffic situation. It's worse than many Indians think it's not.
@@bickynt7930 The smoke does travel from interior areas of Maharashtra and MP, it gets carried away to far off distances and gets mixed with the winter fog
She has become Indian in just 8 years, her understanding of Indian culture is astonishing. Great to see her positive feedback about India! CNN, BBC should watch this for sure. Mumbai is not just about gateway of India, slums but it’s also about food, culture, support system etc.
India is a massively diverse country. Plenty diversity of languages, cultures, clothes and foods. The only thing that unites us the love for our nation. Westerners portray it negatively as Indians being ultra nationalistic, but that is the ONLY thing that unites us. We all love our motherland and it is our birth right to do so.
Max, you have a wonderful knack for asking great questions, the right ones, to draw out amazing insights from those you interview. I'm Indian, grew up overseas, have lived in India for decades but your interviews help me understand my own country even better... ❤thank you!
The way she has understood India, it's people, the culture and the city precisely with all its nuances is commendable. As someone who has forever lived in Mumbai couldn't agree more and how refreshing to hear from her perspective
Pune is best. Far less crowded than Mumbai. Very laid back. Very safe. The weather is probably the best in the country. I being from Kolkata fell in love with Pune. Living here for 7 years.
Very insightful video ❤, just love it. More importantly India is not a perfect place compared to devloped country but we are trying to make it a better place. ❤
I am a Mumbaikar staying in Germany since past 1 year and I was so able to relate to her comment that in Mumbai you feel tired even when you do very little work because your senses are engaged actively all the time due to the noise pollution , air pollution and what not . I can totally relate to it after having lived in both the worlds now.

I’m so happy I stumbled over your channel, thank you so much for this interview that is so enlightening and valuable for me as I dream of coming to India, exploring it and living in Mumbai ❤🙏
I live in Budapestfew months every year, and will be spending increasing more time here . I find Hungarians very friendly. All one has to do is take initiative in smiling first. It has always been the case that whether I asked for the route, or any other advice they are really supportive. Further I have made many friends including neighbors who don't speak English . Unlike what is believed Europeans are very family oriented. I think the problem with some of us is that we are too sensitive (easy to take hurt) and do not take initiative. if you do that Europeans are very friendly - especially because they have no agenda. It is also very very safe
Loved this interview ❤ especially what she was like "theres so much life happening". I lived in Mumbai, and I felt such an energy and vibe that was amazing to live amongst.
21:55 she is wholly solely Indian now. She learnt how to express the emotions by facial expressions and gestures. And that facial expressions said it all. Brothers and sisters of Bharat, she is one of us now. Welcome sister into our big giant family. You are one of the 1.45 billion now ❤
I am impressed that the whole time she was true to herself. All the words were coming from her soul. I think living in Bharat makes to know who you actually are. That is why maybe, people around the world come here to get their own self.
She is extremely positive and true to herself, so it’s naturally come out in the universe by her. And we all must learn this from such being. She comes from outside still knows the nation and the people much more than some creatures live here in the country like a cancer in the body. I am her fan now. What a great soul she is.
She is absolutely true i wouldn't argue on anything what she said and people over here telling that not to leave your phone like that i would say you can leave your phone in a closed space like that restraunt where you are sitting with someone you know it's all about your sense of awareness and coming from Mumbai i can say that and whether you love or go any where around the world you have to always be aware about your belongings because if you are carrying something valuable it's gonna catch someone's attention so be careful be safe and it was really a lovely video.
Epitome of a beautiful, intelligent, sparkling bright slim, elegant French woman. A delight to watch and listen to, and a compelling interviewee. She wears no rings, a sign of a balanced independent practical mind. A treasure of a video and a pleasure to see. Thank you.
Mumbai is overburdened right now that's the reason our government built Navi Mumbai next to it which has better infrastructure overall & you have big parks every 500 meters 😎👍
I have never been to India in this life, but i have a feeling for it , i believe in reïncarnation, i feel i lived there in past lives greetings from the Netherlands
India is like ASEAN, with a little bit of Egypt, bit of Morocco, bits of Caucasus region, bits of Tibet and bits of Yunnan. However, there is a section of tough backpackers and Bohemian mavericks who visit India and they do the following: 1) Stay in cheap hotels costing US$ 5 to US$ 15 2) Roam around in slums and street markets 3) Eat only street food They say that like this you will see the real India and then some of them end up falling sick or disliking India and saying that India sucks. India also has a ski resort called Gulmarg and Asia's largest tulip garden. Produces tropical fruits like Mango and Banana and temperate fruits like Pears and Apples. However tough backpackers are not interested in these aspects of India.
You're right. Indian should stop being over emotional with foreigners. Taking selfies with foreigners won't make us any better. I see people thanking foreigners for liking their country. Do we need their appreciation to know and love our country. When some foreigners are charged extra or are misbehaved by some local, all Indians go on to apologize and sympathize with foreigners. I know this is a good thing and such mischievous people must be reported and punished. But how many Indians show up when something similar happens with an Indian? And how many foreigners do that when these incidents happen with Indians in other countries? In simple words, respect and help people where it's required. But don't just blindly over hype foreigners.
It's really something that she made an effort to learn the language and made a place for herself. Many years ago in the 90', while I was staying at Mumbai University campus, I had come across a French professor who had been staying alone in Mumbai as an expat. This story reminded me of those days. Thanks and big love to these expats❤
Indian here… thanks for making such an amazing interview. Pls do more like this. This kind of videos gives real perspective of a place. As she said, you see one neighbourhood look like 1950s & another looks 21st century. This is so true and key problem of India. Development is not for everyone here. If you’re wealthy, the place you live will be much cleaner & developed. If you poor or from middle class, govt never cares for you.
I won't really so far and say the govt wont care, cause they are the one who cast vote. You need to understand the dynamics here, rich fund the political parties so that they can participate in elections & then they appeased the poor to get into power. The leader come from the people. If the poor are satisfied with what the political leaders are offering, they won't work more. Now if every family member earns in a poor family, they would actually earn more than a single white collar job in middle class. Opportunities are there, loopholes are there, everything is there. It just depends on what you see & wanna make use of.
@@ShubhamBa If singapore people thought the same like this in their 70s, you don’t get to see the singapore what you see now. Problem with Indians we never acknowledge that we need development. Rather we normalize how poorly we live. That is the curse, our country will be far behind in development even after 100 yrs.
@@rayees.ahamed Comparing apple to pomegranate & concluding it as both are fruits is bad logic. Developing a city vs a diverse country as India has different challenges. You can say that a particular model of a particular sector can be adopted or keep them as example, but cannot say that why arn't we like them is a bad logic. No one is India is ignoring the challanges, u need to handle them individually or bring a solution which has cascading effect on other issues, and mind it that its a 7 biggest country by geography, with most complicated history, culture, terrain, geo politics, economics & local politics. Here two companies can't make same revenues & percentage profit in simple products as Salted Chips & u want to compare India & Singapore seems ignorant.
@@ShubhamBa I don't see any solution here. I just see another reason to convince ourselves why we are not developed. A city state like Singapore with less than a million population could able to surpass GDP of India, should make us think why with a billion population still we are far from getting basic infra like roads, clean streets, water, healthcare. Instead, we stack reasons we are different, we have history, culture, bla... bla... Tell me... building a pothole free road, good foot path, clean water requires history & culture?? How many times you visited a government hospital for a treatment? How many of your kids study in govt school? If you start thinking why... you will get to the problem.
Growing up in India was like being part of a big, friendly family. I never felt lonely because there were always people around to share life's ups and downs. Then, I moved to Europe, which offered a better lifestyle and clean surroundings. But I started to miss the warm, close-knit community of India. In Europe, it's more isolated, and I sometimes feel lonely. So, while Europe has its advantages, I still long for the emotional connections and friendliness of India. It's a bit like balancing between two worlds, and I miss the one I grew up in.
Yes. I've been to Mumbai, Delhi, Agra, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kovalam, Alleppey, Goa, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Udaipur, Shimla, Manali and many more places in Maharashtra.
Interesting to hear from Patricia, a Parisian living in Mumbai. Learning the local language is like immersing in the local culture, is what my French teacher said in Paris, Patricia here has still superficial view or experience of Mumbai from what i hear in the interview or discussion, her heart ❤️ in Paris and physically struggling with the weather ☁️, pollution of Mumbai. Good luck 🤞
She showed the positives and negatives of living in Mumbai and she’s gorgeous. I wish people would be more conscious of throwing litter on the beach or on the streets. If they love India or Mumbai, stop littering on it.

As an Indian who has travelled and lived in different parts of the country, I can say , she is the first foreigner I came across who completely gets it. The nuances, the variation, the layers everything, the good, the bad...the biggest thing about India is, you can't generalize ANYTHING, even the most stereotypical and recognizable and widespread thing may be completely unrecognizable or unfamiliar somewhere else. While most of what she said is true in Mumbai and a large part of India, some things may not be. For example, that stereotypical headbobbing is completely unfamiliar in the parts where I belong(East and North East), we used to have the same trouble just as the foreigners do when we first visited the southern part of the country.
Agreed, stereotyping an entire nations population (especially large ones) into one…category, mindset, ideology is ridiculous.
Simple analogy for the broader premise… food. The differences in flavors, regional cuisine, ingredients, cooks… all nuanced and very specific.
Apply that to other aspects, music, humor, customs, history etc. and you have a truly unique experience. I only become wary of globalization if a side effect is if fast food chains and shopping malls all over the world are your only choices… …good insight brother, reminds me of an American saying “You’re not in Kansas anymore”

I m very Proud, that our Country made her one of us and she loves it. Vande Mataram❤🇮🇳 India is our Mother to all of us and she will take care you like a daughter always.
I'm amazed how beautifully she described India and especially Mumbai. . .
This is perhaps the most perfect depiction of what India is all about. Just loved it.🙏
What an amazing woman, the use of the word "we", the optimism, the sense of comfort in her own skin, the compassion...she would be happy and will create happiness in any country or culture that's lucky to have her.
What an incredible human being she is! So much depth & nuance in her understanding of India as she experiences it. Ofcourse some things are city related - Mumbai is exceptionally safe for women, this may not be true in some other cities. Mumbai is also exceptionally crowded & the landscape changes every few seconds from modern high rises to slums. Other cities are often not that extreme. But Mumbai is a wonderful experience for Indians & foreigners alike. Its hard not to love India after you have experinced life in Mumbai.
Indeed she could easily blend into the spirit of India😊
How about korean woman getting harassed at mumbai or japanese girl at delhi during some color playing festival ?
When she says "we". She's one of us❤️
What I admire the most about this video is the level of understanding about India. She has gone beyond the things that are wrong in our society to appreciate what is good. That's what helps you appreciate cities. Also, on the subject of Paris vs Mumbai, I was robbed of my luggage in Paris airport ... but that never happens inside an airport in India. In general, I felt more safe in Mumbai than whenever I visited Paris.
Paris is horrible and so far up its own ar**
Happened to me too
Are you seriously generalising the level of safety of an entire airport just because YOU didn’t get robbed there? LMFAO.
Getting robbed in an airport is abnormal. I have visited more than 43 countries in the world and transited through many more airports. The only place where I got robbed is Paris CDG. In a different trip, my boss got robbed as well. In Singapore, I lost my sun glasses, Singapore Changi guys couriered the glasses to me on my request. In Dubai, my daughter lost her gold bracelet. They located and returned it. I am not saying this in air but out of practical experiences.
@@ZaWarudo69
@@murlimohanrao well then that’s a ‘you’ problem rather than the country’s security. One is expected to learn from mistakes in different experiences but from what you described, it seems you kept making same mistakes and were never cautious. Also, you just happened to not get robbed. Your not being robbed doesn’t objectively declare the entire security status of the whole country, because by your original comment, you’re making it seem as if the world revolves around you and if YOU didn’t experience a negative experience in india, the whole tourism/citizens don’t as well ( for confusion you used : *but that ‘never’ happens inside an airport in india.* ).
She is too precious. Her thoughts are so positive and well thought out and the fact that she is so gorgeous adds to the whole experience of listening to her
I am a South Indian, from Kerala, I have also not been to Mumbai. After watching your RUclips, I also feel like going there
Well, you should definitely visit Mumbai soon!
I like how she says "we" when referring to India or Indians. Yeah she is one of us now.
Because she is white. What if she was different?
@scarledz93 she is not white.
@@ravishingravi for indian eyes, yes, she is.
@scarledz93 ok. My eyes are pretty Indian. Anyway this is just lame point.
Patricia I think you are really an epitome of definition of India. You did express that you may stay elsewhere, but don’t worry you will not let India out of yourself. All your points are valid and truth. Loads of love.
This is true. The convenience and efficient services we can have which is just few taps away on the phone in today's India is awesome. Thanks for uploading this video. My views would be similar to her's, the only exception would be, do not leave your phones unless you have a close friend or family guarding your phone. Even though cities are generally safe in India, it is still wiser to stay vigilant and reasonably guarded.
maybe depends on your phone 😂
@@MaxChernov😊So we have to be very careful about our own belongings 😁😁when and where your Belonging will be others you won't know 😁😁. I am an Mumbaikar but staying 80 kms away from city by Local Train it's Badlapur Station 😊😊
@@MaxChernov if she has a problem at the time of diwali here in India why don't she just go back to her country france? 😑
I am an Indian. And when I visited Ukraine, I visited this beautiful little town called Kolommiya, and some people there wanted to take pictures with us (me and my Taiwanese friend) same happened in Kosiv.
So, humans are curious basically.
12:23 her point about covering up is so important. I have a European friend who often pushes the idea that people should just accept that it is a ‘body’ but it is pretty disrespectful and culturally blind to not realise you are in a different place and should adapt to their customs as needed. This lady is in india and has accepted that the country is as it is. I love moving and travelling but i do miss home a lot even though it is crowded and crazy!
What a beautiful and relaxed interview!
Thanks for this. These are the criticisms India needs to told and does take seriously.
I hope Patricia settles here! Take care...
I think the one thing missed being mentioned is the festivals throughout the year which makes India so much colourful and lively
Specially Ganesh festival.The crowd dance from Bindi Bazar to Gate of India and throw Ganesh in the see.
Diwali is nice too.Holi a bit too much.Oh forgot Shivaratri.
India is no Japan or South Korea. DO NOT leave your phone or anything expensive outside unless you wanna lose it. Saying this as a born and raised Indian currently living in Europe. Also, she is right. India is amazing at services. I find India to be more convenient than Switzerland, the country I'm currently in due to my partner. Switzerland is physically beautiful (stunning landscape & tip top cleanliness) but Indians are unbeaten when it comes to how friendly, accepting and kind the locals are (generally speaking) and also procuring services as a customer is WAY WAY WAY MORE convenient in India. They have apps for every type of service including medicines and groceries that get delivered either on the same day or next day and basically everything. I'm always amazed at how efficient India is in terms of services whenever I return. I don't have to wait 2 weeks to see a specialist. In India, I can see a specialist on the same day if I want to . As much as I enjoy Switzerland and the affordability and convenience of being able to travel to neighboring european countries, I have actually been considering returning back to India. My swiss partner loves India too and is totally onboard with the idea of living in India. I've travelled to many countries but no one is friendlier than us Indians. My partner says the same thing. He says the people is what makes India amazing.
People in Mumbai were actually super chill and cool (except the airport staff haha)
I completely agree with what you said. just wanna add, There are areas in India that are just as picturesque, just as serene and clean as switzerland, This includes vast areas of Arunachal, Northern Sikkim, Remote Ladak, Some remote valleys of Kashmir, entire Lakshadeep and some Islands of Andaman. and if you calculate the total areas of those places, they would actually be more than the area of Switzerland. But, yes, the difference is, these places are largely untouched by humans, while in Switzerland human curation and natural beauty go hand in hand.
well because we have been brought up with that fear but remember we always always get back our stuffs easily if we forget somewhere. people do real effort to return things if it is important like some documents or id cards without expecting anything return. if there is accident or someone in need of help people come and help with every possible way they will even leave their work drop you to hospital and stay there until unless someone is not arrive without expecting anything in return. this kindness is no where in the world visible. it is only and only in india because we believe in "seva"
Services one is simply cuz you are rich in India. There's not as much demand at that cost
@@MaxChernov Soon the airport that you are currently landing in Mumbai on will be exclusively for domestic flights. International travel will happen from the new airport coming up in Navi Mumbai. Mumbai is under construction. there are lots of new construction happening. 350 km worth of new metro is being built. With underground stations, underground road tunnels. I ask my foreign friends to not give up on India just yet. We are still in an infancy phase or I should rather say we are just getting started. There are also new greenfield cities coming up all across the country. If you have visited Mumbai and other Indian cities now (where a lot of these projects and constructions are happening) please also come to visit the Mumbai of 2030 when all these projects would be complete. Also the slums that you see in Mumbai would be gone.
She sums it up brilliantly when she says that you have a feeling of living in different types of dimensions when you are in india. Absolutely correct.
She "slums" it up brilliantly.....
@@amolbp5415wow genius!
I love all ur videos .. being a Indian seeing an outsider views about India is something amazing ..we Indians complaint not happy with our politicians but sometimes we forget to appreciate what we have ..
I always believe things will get better and it’s getting better in 5yrs
I worked with Patricia for a year at the school she's at. She's so nice!!
She’s such a beautiful soul! Really insightful interview that really captured the nuances of Mumbai🥰 She has a very French character- poetic, artistic, articulate way of seeing the world.
That's her perception of India by living in Mumbai. Good for her that she loves her life there. I'm sure India has its charms.
Nope, that's the TRUTH. You're not an Indian, so you don't know anything.
@@abrahamlincoln6704 I'm not appeasing anyone. It's the same for most of us. As long as our perception of the places we live in is acceptable and good in our eyes, we'll love it.
WOW!! A good video from someone who got use to Mumbai. This city has lots of energy and multi-dimensions. Enjoy your stay and make Mumbai more popular.
I love how so many people in the comments are happy that she has become part of India. Beautiful.
Fantastic to see this max. Love your unbiased and open conversations. If possible visit Hyderabad, Delhi, Chennai, Pune to get different perspective. Mumbai is a completely different world ( good way) compared to all other cities in India.
Very soon!
One of the MOST 'wholesome' content that I have seen in recent times! The lady is absolutely gracious and open minded, the host is very non intrusive and relevant!! India is not perfect...but that's part of the charm! It's the litmus test...if you can adjust with the chaotic balance here, you will love this place. Else, you will think that this country is impossible to live in. Either ways...ITS INDIA!! 😊
It was absolutely worth the time watching the video till the end!!
She started giving advice to other foreigner just like an Indian.... " don't come and kiss each other. Because that's not what we do here".... She started being just like an Indian... I appreciate this lady and feel that she has become Indian herself... Cheers
Mumbai and Pune are the safest cities. Very cosmopolitan and Maharashtrians are very accepting of migrants from different states or countries. You respect the language Marathi and culture and you will be treated with utmost respect. You get everything what you would in any major city in the world. May you have a safe, happy and healthy life here in India.
Where are you from ?
Cities in Gujarat - Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, RJkot very safe.
A great video ..well done Max….👍👍🤩🥳
This lady’s perception on the Indian ppls good naturedess is spot on. They don’t like confrontation and avoid them usually. But she didn’t elaborate on the aspect of community living in an apartment complex .The Indians are inclusive in having group celebrations especially during festivals and the hospitality can be heart warming to the soul.
Also …the spirituality of the nation is inspiring and unmatched and not found in many other countries… India is truly beautiful and unique…👍🌺❤️
The community living has both good and bad sides. For people whose lifestyles matches with the community expecations its a match made in heaven. For others who have slightly different viewpoints its hell.
I am mumbaikar now living in Singapore. The reason to choose Singapore is safety. There are more things also. I can totally relate with her view, she was completely honest when she said she might not go back to france. That is charm of mumbai. The people and small little convenience you get at fraction of price elsewhere.
Bro u just went to Singapore just because safety
Enjoyed this video, quite insightful. Mumbai is a wonderful city, love the food there.
Mumbai is a super interesting place!
Very nice to see this lady living in Mumbai for such a long duration.

There is one Dutch lady named Ivana also who lives in Bangalore for the past 5 years and have been enjoying her life here in India.
08:32 The sideward head nods is neither Yes nor No. It is "I Understand", "It's Okay", "I Agree", "I can do it", "I am Fine". Lifting both the shoulders is "May Be". Truly, Love the interview 🥰
As an Indian who recently came back from Russia, I would say that India is much more lively and beautiful place compared to any Russian city or village. Although Russians will become as kind of warm like indians after few drinks. But thanks for making this video. Will suggest you to make more videos on india from different regions , like Ladakh, South India, Himalayas, Sikkim, North East India, Bengal. Good video documentary by the way. Keep up the Good job. желаю тебе здоровья брат.
Good suggestion 👍

@15:40 - .. and you're sorted.
That's a sign someone's lived in Mumbai for a bit. 😉
Great content. From Mumbai, but I live in Canada and I indulge in your videos to reminisce my city.
A city of buzzing LIFE.
Thank you so much brother.
I am an INDIAN and i learned one thing from this video before choosing the clothes which to where see around what they are wearing and you can where accordingly, Because of so much diversity it will be easy that way, this is the best ambassador to represent what genuine INDIA is, INDIAN government should make them tourist ambassador to represent INDIA in world stage it will increase tourism in INDIA
A fair assessment of what India is all about; madam clearly is honest and precise of judgment whether cultural or otherwise. Enjoyed the interview
She is 100% right about Mumbai!
Just recently found and subscribed to Max’s channel. Amazing content on India. I am an American and have been bullish on India since 2008. Definitely think that India is on a massive growth trajectory.
India is crazy India is chaotic India is beautiful India is serene India is loud but u know what INDIA IS HOME ❤
Patricia has a very clear thought process ...it's a learning point.
Nice show, thank you madam for your love for Bharat and its people...❤
I would like to appreciate the lady, her observations and thoughts..really practical ❤ not so much afraid of the rawness that India comes with other smooth things....
Bravo Max..ur channel is getting more n more interesting.👍👏 I love all the ppl that u interview. Thnk u so much
thanks so much! we are going global!
@@MaxChernov God Bless🫡🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you are definitely right. I really like all the people Max had interviewed especially from Malaysia and Singapore. Now that he's going global, we can anticipate more wonderful interviews. 😄
She has the best lesson's for the people who would like to visit this country.
The pollution after Diwali is actually not due to fireworks, Firework pollution stays there for maximum of 2 days, after that it's all due to burning of paddy fields. She might not know this because media only focuses on blaming the 1 day of joyous festival. Fireworks are not unique to India but only Diwali gets the blame and the actual reasons are ignored.
Truly said....
True
Not really. Not everywhere it's paddy burning. That is in Delhi Noida region. What she really meant about pollution in India during Diwali is reality. Indians don't realize how worse to an extreme level diwali fireworks pollute the climate. And our religious sentiments alongside political pampering for it blinds us to not realize the intensity of it or accept this fact as we are so accustomed to even traffic pollution and this feels just a level up, so we don't truly understand the gravity of situation. It's just like slums are great, they are happy living there during heavy rains, they are used to it kind of justification many give. India needs to revive a lot of situations like better livelihood for people in slums, fix pollution, population, infrastructure and traffic situation. It's worse than many Indians think it's not.
Where in Mumbai or nearby areas you can find paddy fields burning?
@@bickynt7930 The smoke does travel from interior areas of Maharashtra and MP, it gets carried away to far off distances and gets mixed with the winter fog
She has become Indian in just 8 years, her understanding of Indian culture is astonishing. Great to see her positive feedback about India! CNN, BBC should watch this for sure. Mumbai is not just about gateway of India, slums but it’s also about food, culture, support system etc.
India is a massively diverse country. Plenty diversity of languages, cultures, clothes and foods.
The only thing that unites us the love for our nation.
Westerners portray it negatively as Indians being ultra nationalistic, but that is the ONLY thing that unites us. We all love our motherland and it is our birth right to do so.
Max, you have a wonderful knack for asking great questions, the right ones, to draw out amazing insights from those you interview.
I'm Indian, grew up overseas, have lived in India for decades but your interviews help me understand my own country even better... ❤thank you!
I have some friends from Europe and Russia living in India for more than 10 years. I thought it’s totally normal.
The way she has understood India, it's people, the culture and the city precisely with all its nuances is commendable. As someone who has forever lived in Mumbai couldn't agree more and how refreshing to hear from her perspective
Another good video. Very meaningful conversation. ❤
As an ex- Bombayite, I can say this interview can be considered a good guide for anyone to get to know what to expect in Mumbai😊
Climate wise you should try Pune or Bangalore... i personally loved Pune climate...
Pune is best. Far less crowded than Mumbai. Very laid back. Very safe. The weather is probably the best in the country. I being from Kolkata fell in love with Pune. Living here for 7 years.
@@PriyaK-cu1fz😂😂 why
From this interview, one thing I can say for sure is she would make a very good damn teacher … she is very receptive and also very clear ..
Very insightful video ❤, just love it. More importantly India is not a perfect place compared to devloped country but we are trying to make it a better place. ❤
She is lovely and full of positive energy, I loved her interview and glad she has such good remarks towards India.
I am a Mumbaikar staying in Germany since past 1 year and I was so able to relate to her comment that in Mumbai you feel tired even when you do very little work because your senses are engaged actively all the time due to the noise pollution , air pollution and what not . I can totally relate to it after having lived in both the worlds now.
😅 Of course Mumbai is highly populated (almost the entire Germany).
So Germany is no where near Amchi Mumbai.

I live in Budapestfew months every year, and will be spending increasing more time here . I find Hungarians very friendly. All one has to do is take initiative in smiling first. It has always been the case that whether I asked for the route, or any other advice they are really supportive. Further I have made many friends including neighbors who don't speak English . Unlike what is believed Europeans are very family oriented.
I think the problem with some of us is that we are too sensitive (easy to take hurt) and do not take initiative. if you do that Europeans are very friendly - especially because they have no agenda. It is also very very safe
Loved this interview ❤ especially what she was like "theres so much life happening". I lived in Mumbai, and I felt such an energy and vibe that was amazing to live amongst.
I love Mumbai ❤ "Mumbai meri jaan" Mumbai is not a city it's a Emotions 🥺
Yeah, Amchi Mumbai🤘🏻
Mumbai meri Jaan but I don't like uddhay thakray and Aditya thakray I hate them
This lady explained the life in Mumbai perfectly well ! She is quite immersed and humble
21:55 she is wholly solely Indian now. She learnt how to express the emotions by facial expressions and gestures. And that facial expressions said it all. Brothers and sisters of Bharat, she is one of us now. Welcome sister into our big giant family. You are one of the 1.45 billion now ❤
I am impressed that the whole time she was true to herself. All the words were coming from her soul. I think living in Bharat makes to know who you actually are. That is why maybe, people around the world come here to get their own self.
She is extremely positive and true to herself, so it’s naturally come out in the universe by her. And we all must learn this from such being. She comes from outside still knows the nation and the people much more than some creatures live here in the country like a cancer in the body. I am her fan now. What a great soul she is.
She is absolutely true i wouldn't argue on anything what she said and people over here telling that not to leave your phone like that i would say you can leave your phone in a closed space like that restraunt where you are sitting with someone you know it's all about your sense of awareness and coming from Mumbai i can say that and whether you love or go any where around the world you have to always be aware about your belongings because if you are carrying something valuable it's gonna catch someone's attention so be careful be safe and it was really a lovely video.
Epitome of a beautiful, intelligent, sparkling bright slim, elegant French woman. A delight to watch and listen to, and a compelling interviewee. She wears no rings, a sign of a balanced independent practical mind. A treasure of a video and a pleasure to see. Thank you.

India is like ASEAN, with a little bit of Egypt, bit of Morocco, bits of Caucasus region, bits of Tibet and bits of Yunnan. However, there is a section of tough backpackers and Bohemian mavericks who visit India and they do the following:
1) Stay in cheap hotels costing US$ 5 to US$ 15
2) Roam around in slums and street markets
3) Eat only street food
They say that like this you will see the real India and then some of them end up falling sick or disliking India and saying that India sucks.
India also has a ski resort called Gulmarg and Asia's largest tulip garden. Produces tropical fruits like Mango and Banana and temperate fruits like Pears and Apples. However tough backpackers are not interested in these aspects of India.
True bro every single f*king foreign vlogger are like this.
You're right. Indian should stop being over emotional with foreigners. Taking selfies with foreigners won't make us any better.
I see people thanking foreigners for liking their country. Do we need their appreciation to know and love our country.
When some foreigners are charged extra or are misbehaved by some local, all Indians go on to apologize and sympathize with foreigners. I know this is a good thing and such mischievous people must be reported and punished. But how many Indians show up when something similar happens with an Indian? And how many foreigners do that when these incidents happen with Indians in other countries?
In simple words, respect and help people where it's required. But don't just blindly over hype foreigners.
If you see there are pigs who like taking bath in mud, they enjoy that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's really something that she made an effort to learn the language and made a place for herself. Many years ago in the 90', while I was staying at Mumbai University campus, I had come across a French professor who had been staying alone in Mumbai as an expat. This story reminded me of those days. Thanks and big love to these expats❤

Indian here… thanks for making such an amazing interview. Pls do more like this. This kind of videos gives real perspective of a place. As she said, you see one neighbourhood look like 1950s & another looks 21st century. This is so true and key problem of India. Development is not for everyone here. If you’re wealthy, the place you live will be much cleaner & developed. If you poor or from middle class, govt never cares for you.
more is on the way!
I won't really so far and say the govt wont care, cause they are the one who cast vote. You need to understand the dynamics here, rich fund the political parties so that they can participate in elections & then they appeased the poor to get into power. The leader come from the people. If the poor are satisfied with what the political leaders are offering, they won't work more. Now if every family member earns in a poor family, they would actually earn more than a single white collar job in middle class. Opportunities are there, loopholes are there, everything is there. It just depends on what you see & wanna make use of.
@@ShubhamBa If singapore people thought the same like this in their 70s, you don’t get to see the singapore what you see now. Problem with Indians we never acknowledge that we need development. Rather we normalize how poorly we live. That is the curse, our country will be far behind in development even after 100 yrs.
@@rayees.ahamed Comparing apple to pomegranate & concluding it as both are fruits is bad logic. Developing a city vs a diverse country as India has different challenges. You can say that a particular model of a particular sector can be adopted or keep them as example, but cannot say that why arn't we like them is a bad logic. No one is India is ignoring the challanges, u need to handle them individually or bring a solution which has cascading effect on other issues, and mind it that its a 7 biggest country by geography, with most complicated history, culture, terrain, geo politics, economics & local politics. Here two companies can't make same revenues & percentage profit in simple products as Salted Chips & u want to compare India & Singapore seems ignorant.
@@ShubhamBa I don't see any solution here. I just see another reason to convince ourselves why we are not developed. A city state like Singapore with less than a million population could able to surpass GDP of India, should make us think why with a billion population still we are far from getting basic infra like roads, clean streets, water, healthcare. Instead, we stack reasons we are different, we have history, culture, bla... bla... Tell me... building a pothole free road, good foot path, clean water requires history & culture?? How many times you visited a government hospital for a treatment? How many of your kids study in govt school? If you start thinking why... you will get to the problem.
Loved it! Thankyou for the honest review of India! Hope, you guys feel like Home in India❤
Our pleasure!
Growing up in India was like being part of a big, friendly family. I never felt lonely because there were always people around to share life's ups and downs.
Then, I moved to Europe, which offered a better lifestyle and clean surroundings. But I started to miss the warm, close-knit community of India. In Europe, it's more isolated, and I sometimes feel lonely.
So, while Europe has its advantages, I still long for the emotional connections and friendliness of India. It's a bit like balancing between two worlds, and I miss the one I grew up in.
Chup bkl....
Leaving home is important to know it’s true worth.

Good luck 🤞
She showed the positives and negatives of living in Mumbai and she’s gorgeous.
I wish people would be more conscious of throwing litter on the beach or on the streets. If they love India or Mumbai, stop littering on it.
