As an Indian I appreciate his perspectives and how respectful he was. He didn't put down any country and only spoke of the positives. This shows he doesn't have any prejudice which is why he is so satisfied here.

I fell in love with India in 2019, Mumbai in particular. I've been lucky to travel around much of India and spend time living in Mumbai too. Currently planning a business move to Mumbai from England with my Metal Art business, wish me luck! Jai Hind🙏

This is an extraordinarily open minded Britisher. You are very welcome sir.

This is so positive. I wasn't expecting it. He really loves India.👍

As an Indian residing abroad, it's so nice to listen to people living in India. Thanks for bringing in these interesting prospectives. I very much miss my city of Mumbai but due to the constant construction i was compelled to leave, at least for a while.

In all videos you have spoken to, the common theme is Family. And therein lies the essence of Indian culture. Once you understand that and the role family plays in people’s lives, India is an open book.

Thanks for this. I’m of Indian descent but born in the UK, looking to move to India and connect more closer with my roots and culture. Also feel India is at a beautiful spot right now where it’s going to witness a complete transformation, and I would like to be part of that and contribute.

Our society building in Hyderabad is full of East European people as well as many Spanish & Taiwanese. I asked many of them the reason - it is almost always their work forced them to come to India and now they don't want to go back. They have "easy life". This gentleman probably explained some of the things like delivery, UPI etc which, I personally have taken for granted

Misconceptions abroad should not bother us Indians too much. As long as we steadily enrich our human resources, we can just shrug and prevail while letting the outsiders wallow in their idle misconceptions and ignorance.

Nice to hear other peoples experiences of India as an expat or long term resident.I'm Australian and spent multiple years living in a small village in Goa with my Goan husband in the 1990's. I also found that my use of english changed to suit the local grammar style and my accent became slightly 'Indianised'. I was unaware of this until my sister mentioned it to me later. I also had difficulty with the Konkani language though finally managed to have functional Konkani after a couple of years. It made local travel and day to day life less isolating. Not many people I knew spoke english at that time. Now when I go back to Goa, the percentage of native Goan's living in Goa seems less than the that of Indians from other states and Hindi seems to the dominant language used 'on the ground'. I love the food but never got used to the really really hot dishes - this didn't matter as we cooked most of our own food and I learned heaps of wonderful recipes. The only time I fell ill from food was from a cup of chai while staying in a cheap hotel in Old Delhi. My favourite thing was to bus into Margoa for shopping and stop for idli sambar and chai or puri badjo and chai before catching the bus home again. It was a simple life, I loved it. Mind you there is a lot of paperwork and bureaucratic hurdling to do with utilities, bill paying, council interactions and transport which can be time consuming and tiring if limited to buses.

For all the expats in india, checkout the local park in morning hours for a walk. 6 am to 0830 am. Lots of Indians go for a morning walk and it so peaceful (most of the time). Also you do get to meet a community.

My best buisness colleague from UK is living in Bangalore for 25 years, he loves it!!! As everyone he do complains but the journey he has seen from 2000-until is mind boggling. He thinks it will be the epicentre for innovation and technological progress

Wow, this channel is bridging the misconception about india! as an indian am amazed, helps build good reputation and remove negative stereotypes that actually dont exists, yes i agree the movie slumdog millionaire did a lot of harm for our reputation and the fact is it was directed by a foreigner, you earned my sub, good job keep it up!

What a beautiful world it would be if everyone just embraced each other without boundaries. Absolute Gentleman!

I like how he said that there are misconceptions about how people and the west portray India in the media and that every place on earth has problems. Loved the unbiased opinions of so many things he has seen, experienced and tasted.

I'm Asian American and I am not from India. I thought the same about Slumdog Millionaire and I saw it in the US in a university town which appreciates Indian culture very much. That movie was actually made by a British director who lived in Mumbai and was touted as someone who knows the city very well.

The most beautiful part of living in India is that if u feel cold in North you can go south to make you feel warm . And if you feel too hot in South you can go to North.

Not even Indians can describe India so well. Wonderful!!

India now is pretty globalized. If you go to Google and type restaurants in Kohima and restaurants in Aizawl, you will be recommended several restaurants with google ratings above 4. Then you will find a whole lot of Italian, Korean and Chinese restaurants and you will even see pictures of funky mocktails. You can type restaurants in Hakha and Kale, Myanmar nearby across the border, what you will see are only some local joints serving Burmese food. However, there are foreigners only visiting slums in India and eating street foods, then they fall sick and an impression is created that India only has street food which makes you sick. Then I was seeing the list of 50 best restaurants in Asia, Odette from Singapore is ranked 6, Meta in Singapore is ranked 17, Masque in Mumbai is ranked 16th and Indian Accent in Delhi is ranked 19th. One of the best chefs in the world is Gaggan Anand who has opened a fine dining Indian restaurant called Gaggan Anand in Bangkok ranked 5th in Asia.
