Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is…
I know there are a few of you reading this who never thought I’d do it – but I DID! In YO FACE! haha…
About 1.5 years ago I started visiting Mumbai for business and I absolutely fell in love with the city. Why? I have no idea, I just did (isn’t that enough).
A few months back I started declaring that I was going to eventually MOVE to Mumbai and spend most of my time there. Of course I still have to frequent the US, my entire life and business started there. However, I wanted to spend most of my time in Mumbai.
I wanted to get my own place and really experience living in India.
A LOT of people thought I was just “talking out of my ass” and not really serious – even my friends in Mumbai. They’ve lived here their entire life and could not imagine why anyone would want to leave US (where everyone fights to get to) and come to a overly polluted and traffic jam filled Mumbai.
Well – guess what people…
I don’t have an answer for you but I will say one thing.
When I say I’m going to do something – I do it. I don’t care what it is.
It’s a mistake to doubt me! I can be persistent as he** and I like doing *different* and weird things that many would not have have a chance or the balls to do.
What’s the lesson here? Or Am I just bragging about myself?
I’m not bragging, there is a lesson. The lesson is that you need to be open to experiencing different things.
Come on, do something crazy – what’s the worst that can happen? Just do it! (as Nike would say).
Take some risks…that’s the only way life can bring you something different and special.

Hi. Frankly speaking, I did not like the begining of the article (move to Mumbai or somewhere else that is your business). But after reading few lines and reaching the end, I wanted to jump out of my chair and FLY. Oh I like that. Go man and do it. Move to Mumbai and do what you want. I agree fully with what you said, and… YES… Such move is a must. I want to do similar thing too, but dont know why I cant. I just cant and that make me feel worse. I have that place where I want to move to. Mere thinking about that makes every my whole body reacts.
Good luck.
