#mumbai #India
Dude when you asked those 2 guys about the direction to Malabar hill, in hindi they said ‘I’m sending him to a longer route because it’s beautiful from there’ as he assumed you as a tourist. That’s why you got different directions.
seems like mumbai people are like lahoris they too never give the right directions lol
Hassan Rasheed Pakistanis have the same culture/nature as Indians, it’s just that religion divided us. Before the British came we were all living peacefully and happily.
@@jaychdy peacefully and happily? Bro sorry to burst your bubble but peacefully, happily and even united for that matter wouldn't be appropriate words to describe conditions of india pre british raj. Rather you should be thankfull to british for uniting the remaining india otherwise there had been many countries originating from it not just Pakistan. Kind of like eu. Here's a cool video on this topic ruclips.net/video/UQdMxXcfMRc/видео.html
Indians like to believe religion dived india but the fact of the matter is there has never been a united india... just deal with it
@M.A Alam that’s just bs. The British never wanted to unite India as one. Their own policy was “divide and rule”. It was thanks to Sardar Patel that India is what it is today, otherwise it would be looking like what Europe is today.
@ also of bihar, manipur, nagaland, sikh movemnet, underclass, muslims, and probably 100+ seperatist movements in india... pretty impressive right?
When a policeman asked you not to shoot, the reason for that is during the attacks in 2008, the areas which were attacked were first videographed and studied before. That is why the police nowadays are taking more care. Happy to see a vigilant police officer! Hope you enjoyed your stay here in India!!

I am turning 65 next month and I can’t tell you how many people I told, “Work as a server in a restaurant when you are young and the people skills you learn will serve you well the rest of your life.” I firmly believe that!
I so agree I worked as a server in many resturants in my teens and early twenties. It was very eye opening to human behavior I am 65 now also and it definitely gave me people skills that lasted me my whole lifetime!!!
Out of context people
In India people think it is a shameful job as a Server in a restaurant.
Lovely
no need to belief in it when its a living experience

Mumbai is like the epitome of diversity. You go on a road, on your left side, there will be lavish buildings of 20 floors, and to your right side, there will be small houses. To your left, there will be fancy restaurants. To your right, there will be roadside food stalls.
You can live with the highest cost of living and at the same time you can live for the lowest cost of living.
you mean inequality not diversity
Most Indian cities are like that because Indian authorities do not kick out people for being poor. You can live in a railway platform, put up a store in the roadside without any permit. Build a hut in some unused government land and no one will bother you unless necessary.
@@ctyctnn1907 it’s not inequality.

Mumbai looks like a nightmare for introvert people, with all the random strangers staring and approaching you in the streets, including extremely pushy street vendors

I was in Mumbai several years ago. It was very interesting. I just stayed in the old part and walked everyday. There was so much to see and people were very friendly.

Mate, got it in one, I took my family to India and lived for 2 years, we lived in the suburbs not in an expat compound, we traveled throughout the country and met some of the most engaging beautiful people imaginable, the difference between the haves and the have nots is huge, and always in your face, I fell in love with people first and the country side and villages are just so welcoming, I rode an Enfield from Pune to Goa with my youngest son on the back of the bike, took 4 weeks stayed in villages and had to force myself to go home
That's beautiful
@@issbelvillastella5063 I am sorry no! That’s such a generalisation!

@@issbelvillastella5063 well you are partially right but not everyone do that, only a few and kids get stolen every where not only in India, almost more than half of Syrian refugee kids are missing from camps but this is World and it isn't equal for everyone
I lived in Mumbai for 1 year... The vibe of the city is different which I never felt in any other cities.. i don't know how to explain.. As you said one feel "more alive" in Mumbai.. Very diverse city indeed ❤️
Where are you from actually then??
It is like being in London or New york
Mumbai is a nightmare for students. Most of the college buildings are dilapidated and I don't think the government will ever do anything to rebuild them....atleast in this century. Most of the colleges don't provide hostels and even if they do, they resemble the houses u get to see in Dharavi (world's largest slum).......and renting out an apartment is again too costly. If your accommodation is far away from your college than u need to go by the local train, which again is a nightmare. There are scammers all around trying to fool young and naive students telling you that they will provide you a PG in low price. Mumbai is good for tourists who get to see the city only superficially for one week or so. For the vast majority of middle class people who live here, this city just drains out your energy and turns you into a depressed and aged person.
Delhi, Bangalore, Poona, Hyderabad, Chennai are much much better cities. Ahmedabad is by far the best.
Diverse? Sad...

Bruhh, Seems you're very familiar with indians🤔
When I was in India (for business) I was told to stay near to Powai Lake Hotels and it was so luxurious I was shocked by the contrast with the surroundings, hotel was all gold and marble and I have never experience such as ostentation not even in the most developed countries, I really understand the feeling of your experience, at some point you just adapt to the different realities people live in India
Yes this is typical india. The private establishments like these hotels and private homes are palaces. The second you step outside their grounds you will see exactly the opposite. This by the way has been there for centuries, the haves of India are in a totally different planet than have nots, despite being neighbours
That why some of these places are so expensive and still look like that, its like private rich space, and block out all the poor stuff. going in and out is difference of world.
Sorry but I don’t like countries like that because I feel bad for all the people that have less… Just because I was born in a different Country…

Sadly the economic disparity means that the rich wall themselves in making their world inaccessible to the rest. This is why you’ll notice that the expensive hotels are way more expensive than the West. The high price is to keep the massive number of non-rich people out.
The slums near the rich towers house people who provide services to the rich.
Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Otherwise if you don't wall yourself if you have wealt you will see a thousand beggars standing day and night on your door they might even rob your blhouse protect yourself from all that chaos rather than facing those ScSt acts the poor usually impose on the rich

True, in only few hands and rest rest of the population lives under the line of poverty. Specially in villages. This is pretty bad.
@@BeHumanWithOutBorders hahaha. Just few hands of India are more than your whole country. Trust me. Making few million population rich is not a big deal. But when you deal with billions. Number of rich people here in India are far more than most of the developed country. But few people like you with box mindset will think that there is no money in India.

@@Vijay.1234-h3j Husky Boy your country comes at 86th level according to transparent International, and 84 millions Indian live under “ extreme poverty” . I wish you knew before telling fairytale, you shouldn’t be proud this situation. India is a developing nation. It can go up if people like you would work rather than just boasting about theirselves .
And I don’t have to come and dream about living in India. I live where your Indians dream to come and spend millions for getting visa and sometimes loose their lives while trying to access here through traffickers. My ex government divided India into Pakistan and India. I just support and stand with good cause.

If people say "don't know the route" then you might think like being Indian they don't know? Waste fellow". So they want to act like "smart". So they will say some random route instead of saying "I don't know". That's why you will get different answers from different people in india. You need to ask many people and if majority of people say same answer then route is valid. 😀

No, we are actually interested in meeting white people, it's like a cultural flex, talk to them, take selfies, if you're black or Asian, you won't receive this kind of behavior. Also these people have enough empty time to stare at foreign people, in the West people are busy.
My journey to India was also incredible , I liked the way culture varied from South to North , even languages and skin tones . At last I
got that India has many cultures and everyone there is different , some r friendly some r very rude , some always bother others some are totally ignorant .
I agree as an indian
@Everything Of Indian Cinema. yeah but only a few form a nation, like the United states, likewise Union of India or India. Remember European Union, African Union and OPEC r still not unified Nations
@Everything Of Indian Cinema. I said that India as a nation has all of the things the guy mentioned. Many major cultures, major religions, some of which even originated here.
@Everything Of Indian Cinema. yeah nvm, ig I am not able to convey or either I am shitposting, I dont know man, sorry for wasting ur time
But much better than anywhere else in the world
you went deep into the roots of india. you navigated with ease. Displaying how deep one of the mumbain culture is. hats off man.

"Half of the population lives in slum" but they still own flat screen TV, fridge, and very often Air Conditioner. They live in slums because land is at massive premium in a densely populated city. Our plumber in Pune who runs a big plumbing business in high-rise luxury apartment blocks, his wife owns 2 eateries for IT-Profis, used to live in a Mumbai "slum" just 2 years ago, doing nearly the same in Mumbai.
Same with my family 😂😅
That’s right .. some people in the slums may have net worth more than this guy. They choose to live there for the convenience and the camaraderie .
@Muhammad Talha Hahaha nice joke
I do live in a slum but a 1bhk slum. I have a.c, refrigerator, car, bike. Not only me but 80%people in slums. The young children here are all going to good private school and one day they will buy a good house for their family.
I live in California
This is the 0.001 % of Mumbai. Life for the remaining 99.999% is a 2 hour one way commute in bone crushing crowded trains without AC in 99% humidity. Crushed roads during the rains, water logged rails and roads which make commutes twice as long. Working 30 years of your life to own a 200 sq foot apartment somewhere far away from these lavish suburbs. Everyone who moves to the West view it with rose colored glasses till they have to move back and work in the city.

*_It's amazing how expensive neighborhoods and slums coexist in one country! India is an amazing place!_*
The concept is simple. India has too many people. Majority of them are not even middle class. Successive govt policies specifically prioritise urban development over welfare of rural industries due to which all the money is in the citiies. So poor people from villages migrate in humongous numbers to the cities.
Given this background, consider that rich people are busy working 9-7 and need domestic help. Poor people who come from villages are happy to do anything to earn decent wages, so they get into services like domestic help, security, food and medicine delivery, catering, fast food, selling vegetables, basic necessities, trades like plumbing, electricians, appliance mechanics, etc. And all of these serve the rich / upper middle class.
So you have the "servant" class living near the "master" class.
In other words, the slums near the skyscrapers.
In short, it is because well off Indians do not do menial labour at home and outsource it to the rural poor who migrate for a living because all govts have ensured that a supply of rural labour is never ending.

You were strolling in the neighbourhood of prominent indian industrialists, polititians and bollywood actors. Bandra-Juhu is where actors like Shahrukh Khan & Amitabh Bachchan reside.
Yep.. It's called white privilege, I guess Mumbai still hasn't learnt its lessons when a white guy like him called David Headley recce the important locations in Mumbai and gave, it to his Pakistani handler who trained the 26/11 Attackers of Mumbai. Good job Mumbai.

4:43 "You have to adapt to India or you hate your life here. But if i'm going to pick one place in the world, i say India; is place where you just feel more alive as a human being than anywhere else"
I completely agree with you !
I had a similar reaction when I went to Mumbai and someone told me that I was living in the poshest neigborhood in the city. I am from Chandigarh in Indiam a city that is much more cleaner than Mumbai and the wealthy vs non wealthy areas are very easy to distinguish. I was staying near Jaslok Hospital, and the buildings looked incredibly shabby from the outside but the moment you stepped in, it was luxury reeking from every inch. Ceiling to floor teak, expensive china and silverware. I guess folks in Mumbai dont really care about public spaces as much. You'll see the difference in Delhi as well. The rich parts of Delhi, ie Lutyens delhi/South Delhi are clearly so much more better than the worse parts of the city.
Very right point.
The population density (which translates in to heavy building density) and the heavy monsoon ensure that the exteriors fade away in a few years. Too many people on the streets takes a toll on the beauty of the streets. You will have a similar reaction if you lived in a smaller city in North America and visited NYC, SF or Chicago.
India is an amazing place I’ve only visited south India Goa region but still amazing such an experience! People are beautiful and the culture is incredible.
I really like your perspective, I see what you see man. Thanks for this
18:04 "this is when you know you are in wealthier neighborhood when there is a dog walker" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

While poor people doing nothing wasting time quarreling about their wealth
this place is great example of the gap between rich and poor

*It's not just Mumbai. Every south Asian city has a rich side and a poor side. Example:* Mumbai, Dhaka, Delhi, Karachi, Lahore etc. Etc.
Correction. Every CITY has a rich side and a poor side. Ask this guy to vlog skid row in LA, the undersides of bridges in Las Vegas or the homeless populations of New York and San Francisco.
People like this guy rely on the ignorance of Indians. His own country has poverty and slums. Bet he won't show them in a video.
@@numbera112 Yes just Like Hong Kong also has a poor side along with Beijing etc it's not only Mumbai
blue fairy yes! every major cities, towns in South Asia have its modern & under-developed side but nearly all westerners don’t show them because they want the world to know this place is only deprived.

@@cuporange7867 You must be thinking that because you have never seen good souls in your so called developed country.
Realestate is expensive in Mumbai, and most areas are old in Mumbai. I saw Benz, Bmw and Jaguars
I like old areas you can relate to it. For aesthetic purposes I think they need to redirect funds like putting up tiles on pavements, using machine to clean roads every morning. Homeless could be relocated to makeshift homes. A lot can be improved with little investment.
@@alternateaccount4868 nice suggestion
@@alternateaccount4868 457k people visits mumbai every week and not everyone comes with money. Nobody who is living in Mumbai is forced to stay as a homeless because there are thousands of jobs waiting !!! Ofcourse, locals in the city are relaxed and expect soft-spoken employees. Yes more funding for pavements will be good in old part of city too.

15:00 to 16:20 Maximum crowd was college students who were bunking classes 😂
Been there two years ago.... very hectic place. Wouldn’t like to live there but I do like huge cities...Mumbai is one of them. There is power💪
More like corruption than power
Totally would live there
Yes so I am a foreigner living in Mumbai. There is indeed not much to see here in terms of architecture, yet there is so much money in this city. And I realised that the cost of my living here is just as much as it was in Switzerland, if not more in fact.
From the outside, most of the buildings look ugly, but once you enter, the interiors can be really lavish.
People take very good care of their property, indoor. Whatever belongs to them. That's how it goes and that's how it ends.
And the thing is that the prices of real estate here are so high compared as to what people earn that owning your own 2 bedroom apartment is already a huge luxury in itself.
People do have good cars but they rarely take them out of the garage, by fear of having them scratched by wreckless drivers.
People put a lot of money here in their children's education by sending them to colleges abroad (mostly to the US).
Now no matter how dirty and shabby the city might look, you end up getting terribly attached to it over the years (weird I know hahaha...)
The various areas of the city are like small separate towns or villages with their own style, their own charm.
And yes, there is not much to do activity wise with children here, but since people are so friendly, children end up having loads of friends to play with every day. So the leisure is spent mostly in socialising within the housing society premises or at the nearby park.
We are also lucky to have a lot of greenery in Mumbai dependingvon where we live and the proximity of the ocean makes it much less polluted than Delhi for example.
World's second most expensive house @12:40 and then within 50 meters or less there's a small stall selling chips right beside it- that's Mumbai
I love how friendly the kids are ❤️
They're just excited to see a white guy lol. Won't get the same treatment if you're african or other dark skinned ethnicity.
Thank you for sharing! I was waitress. My next thing is to go India 🇮🇳. You’re so right on!
I am going to India next month and it has been 20 years since I went there and am excited and scared at the same time🇺🇸🇮🇳
If you want to see cars and bling you have to explore northern part of India like Delhi and Punjab because people in western and southern part are more shy and loves simplicity even though they filthy rich
Interesting observation. Thank you :)
I say this with the deepest respect for India: The thing that best prepared me to visit India was my many trips to Burning Man.
They seem really nice. It's shocking to see such drastic differences in quality of life. It's also so crazy to see so much private security. The vibe was really good there. It looks absolutely fantastic.
Alot of Indian actors and actresses live in Mumbai, thats what the security is for
interresting, thank you for the video 👍
The reason for you being asked these questions on stay is cause 12 years back a slimy chap called David Headley did the same style of reece.
Dead Soul I usually don’t reply to idiots but since it’s about my country, I’ll make an exception. I never said all foreigners. I was specific to the person making the video being asked about the reasons of filming by the cops. As for the security of our nation, we are the fastest growing economy with the 3rd strongest military in the world and with 2 snakes as our neighbours: Porkistan and corona virus China and we still manage to do better than all EU nations and the strongest economy. Now I don’t know which country you belong to Mr. idiot but if you do get a chance to ever visit India I’m quite sure you won’t shit your pants like you would do in Saudi Arabia, China, Pakistan, Syria, Afghanistan or the likes of many such trigger happy countries. Hope you could find the logic in my answer. If not, you are more than welcome to raise another doubtful remark which since you are the same idiot, I’ll be happy to comment back. Namaste 🙏🏽

do give your comments and replies but best to remain civil. india is a rich and great country which needs fair wealth distribution and a proper management of its population. those two things does not cost millions to implement but millions will be happy as a result and then india will not be known as a third world country struck with poverty. happy days.
Overpopulation is one of their greatest problem

What he is saying in the video several times is very true, there are no "rich neighbourhoods" in India. There are small gated communities that are really nice, there may be pockets of development in certain areas but while taking a stroll you're bound to see filth and poverty no matter where you are.
