the head we'll find out now but it feel like she is a writer I switch to English but you will hear everything just introduce you as far as I know you're a famous writer and you recently in the last years had a tour through the central asia and i want to ask you to introduce yourself if if you may and say more about books which right and who is the audience who rested and primarily I'm a traveler on the Silk Road I love to travel and I have been traveling all over Asia Central Asia the paths of Gandhara that was Pakistan and Afghanistan and parts of China and my subject has been Buddha on the Silk Road and the audience is the general audience because it is a travelogue so people love to read how a person is traveling all along the Silk Road in Asia and of course the specific subject is the Buddha are you Hindu I'm a Hindu yeah but you're writing books about Buddha yes yeah because I love the Buddha I loved what he taught but I'm not a practicing Buddhist and as far as you know you have a special place here like a sacred place where you pray every day yes I play to all the gods and not only Hindu gods not only Buddha but I have got Jesus Christ I have got a small Quran also so I believe in all I believe that there is one God we may call him by any name but there is one God can I get some more details where you were born how you met your husband and what different adventures you had in on the way of your life together I was born in Kushinagar this book is about the Buddhist edited sites of India so there is one place called Kushinagar and Buddha attained his nirvana mahaparinirvana that is he died passed away at Kushinagar I was born in Kushinagar and it that time it was a small village and from Kushinagar my mother brought me to Allahabad is a small that is also a small city I studied in Allahabad and he was also in Allahabad so we met in college and that is how we came to know each other and later on after six seven years we got married which traditions the local traditions Indian traditions do you still stick to and you want your kids and grandkids mmm first tradition that we followed for many years 20 years after marriage that we lived in a big joint family for 22 years of my married life I have spent with his brothers their wives my mother-in-law and nine children in the family and when he decided to move to the Supreme Court only then be separated from the family and they came to Delhi otherwise that was but that I like that tradition because for children it is very good and even for us all we can share the work I mean we can share companionship because if it has a large family then I think it is better for everyone to be together and especially for the children if you had an opportunity I think you you have to change three things in India what would you do first and foremost I would like to implement free and compulsory education for all children because India needs all her children's to be in school to study and be educated first is education and with education will come cleanliness because if you leave some of the good localities other localities are not clean so second thing is cleanliness hygiene and third thing virtually say these two are the most important for me and in schools if children go to school and they are taught about equality of gender then whatever crime is taking place against women I think that crime rate will be cut and the places will become more safe for women we were New Delhi and now we're in sunny spring ki and small break just to tell you if you want to find cheap flights see for 30 euros you can go to kragov Stockholm Regas 4 euros Helsinki 4 euros alumni 5 euros en masse 5 euros and so on yes or no it's really cheap and if you want to find such cheap flights go to

fourth floor this is the third floor third floor because there is a ground floor this is first place I can blow them this okay and there's one more upstairs and after that these terms okay this is my apartment all right then this is my bedroom this is your bedroom your dining room yeah this is my storeroom dressing table this is my wardrobe uh-huh and this is my kitchen okay so it has like I think 12 up to 14 square meters this and yes how much do you pay for this apartment per month per month five thousand five hundred for rent three hundred for water and them we have two on the pump that is that bill we have to pay extra that that can be around three four hundred then electricity bill comes up to four hundred so how much that internet internet I have all we don't have Wi-Fi so on I just charge my phone like you can say five hundred power for me can we drink water in analogy no I have to buy this water for tea look for a forty rupees for this twenty liter it goes for two three two two three reasons but the water is not good is it true that is like whatever which goes from the toilet and then it comes back here but it's all know sometimes the it gets like the pipe is next to each other the dirty pipe and the clean pipe is to each other so sometimes it gets like broken or anything then it mixes up otherwise but before coming here they get clean and all but still it is not good to drink before purifying are you using this water for washing no yes for washing teas cooking washing teas yes yeah is it safe yes it's not bad dirty it is safe because they add that chlorine chlorine is kills the bacteria you told me that you I Christian now you used to be Hindu your husband is Abu yes and can you tell me something more about religion in Delhi and what people do related to religion now as these traditions are still captives yes definitely now like now people to celebrate everything now the value also everyone is celebrating Christmas also everyone celebrating and even Eid it is for Muslim everyone celebrates all the festivals now it has become more of more like fashion than really like tradition has become fashion so everyone wants to celebrate everything how come you became a Christian what happened yes because I got peace after I got to know Jesus Christ I felt peace and my friend was Christian so I used to go with her to church and but at that time I was not Christian so she left later on and then I was like I stopped going then again after a few years you know Jehovah's Witness the I found Jehovah's Witness and then like I went I started studying Bible with them I got to know but again later on because of in a family problem like they don't like me becoming Christian and they wants me to be involved in the tradition huija not so I again quit I had not taken baptism but I stopped studying also but later on again there was me and my husband always every day we were fighting after some time even we stopped like talking to each other also we were staying staying in same house but we were not talking to each other only if there is a work we were talking other you are not talking so I could not even take divorce because I have a son so I don't want him to feel bad or left alone because he is still young he is only 9 years old so again I don't know I didn't know what to do but I used I then I started meditating and in meditation I used to think tell God like guide me know what to do him to pray because this only this is true and that's only that is true so I was like confused I was no there at the end and then again that my friend came back which had gone like 10 years back she came back to visit Delhi so I went and met her again I went with her to church and as soon as I went that I felt like this is what I was looking for now my search is over I felt from inside that and I felt at peace so after that regular you look very happy now you know and very peaceful things were started about food can you tell me do you cook here no I get my lunch at the restaurant but but yes I want to eat at home also so yes I cook here mostly when I'm at work he is the one who's cooking husband is cooking what we mostly we eat rice dal and vegetable like any vegetables sometimes Spinney sometime beans peas he's non-veg pure knowledge and pure vegetarian and where do you sleep you sleep here your husband and the kid my kid is in sick him he's in second is not in Delhi so here with you he comes on his holiday December he will we like to go and bring him keep with us for one month and again take back so in my holiday I go there for 20 days and stay with his living with your parents no his parents with his parents yes do you miss him I of course so you call him every day yes is he going to school yes it is a school and the whole education good here in India better no it is good it is good yes even in Sikkim also they are very very good schools happen in India is a very good school buddy but I mean in Delhi it's very the boot schools are very expensive very very expensive and cheap schools are not as good but it's not bad do you have a medical insurance here yes there are in sir but I don't have mine so if something happens can you go to hospital and get free care yes but it is that too many people it takes months and months to get to see a doctor yes and be treated yes the free one other small small hospitals are here which is cheaper which for like emergency they will take care and then you can go to the government hospital for the longer process but smart small doctors I everywhere can you tell me a bit more how your ordinary day starts and ends and what you do during your day so you wake up what time you wake up it took like I wake up so it took log I wake up 8 to 9 I study the Bible and watch video pray whatever I do daily yes 9 to 10 I just get up get ready and 10 o clock I live I don't eat anything so I just get ready and leave to work Levin o'clock I reach work from 11:00 to 9:00 is my shift so I'm there working Levin to 9:00 from 11:00 in the morning to line the evening yeah you work at the restaurant yes do you take us to your restaurant today yesterday I will take you good and from if it's very busy then I have to stay longer also and if it is not busy then sometimes I come early also say from 9:00 to 10:00 by the time I reach here it's already 10 o'clock o'clock 10:00 to 10:30 so after coming I just get fresh and I'm exhausted so I just sometimes eat food cook eat food sometimes he cooks and I ate and just rest and again I want to go through the talk of the Bible and also I do all that by the time I sleep is around 1 to 2 o clock [Music] [Music] guys now the older system josma is with us we will now talk to the Radian measures books yes which of them do you particularly like I think the first one is was the very special one the Silk Road yes why because that was the first book she wrote and she worked very hard and for us it was like for the entire family it was something that of a project because we supported her through the book and we experienced her being away from the house for a very long time going through these a very adventurous you know holidays where she's studying the sights and so for us for all of us I think that was the first very big event okay okay yeah you were burned in the family where a father is a famous lawyer and as far as far as I understood he used to work in a Supreme Court yeah and the mother is a famous writer so it looks like both of them spent much time hardly working hardly working all the time did you get enough warmest and edges from them so the thing is that because we were in a joint family and my grandmother was there and we were attached to the other members of the family we did not feel the absence of the parents so much and they were working through the day but at night and in the evenings they were always there so for my father he would go to the court in the morning but in the evening he would always make sure that he's spending at least an hour with us before he heads to the office so we always had quality time from them do you leave all together in this in this big house no I live with my husband in our house oh and you have a daughter two daughters to the audience well girls I have two daughters and did you study here in India yes you seen that the education the current educational system is it good or could be improved as far as higher studies is concerned it could be improved but my image is experience with the education is because of my daughter's and I think some of the schools are very good in India they are on international standard so primary education for everybody in India definitely there is a scope for improvement but is it the free school or a private school this is a private school how much should you pay for a private school um quite a lot actually there are some workers here in this building do you also have the workers in your house I have a worker or help in my house do they cook for you what they do they just clean the house and I do the cooking [Music] [Applause] so what do you do for living for living like you walk in the restaurant yes yes

most senior they're above us is owner usually in other restaurant they have assistant manager after supervisor assistant manager manager and general manager but here we don't have a boss he takes care of everything so above us it was below us with other team small team member and you walk from 11:00 to 9:00 every day or you have weekends yes we have one day off in a week so my office on Tuesday and I happy with the work you do yes I'm happy and I tried in between I tried working to adapt like for in a showroom in the sparse but I was not happy so in I think I made for the hospitality so I am

University any course whichever I will get to admission there I will go there if I'll get it [Music] France is rotten with us rotten is the husband of Tanja who is one of our main characters of the episode experts from New Delhi I am sure you have already watched this video if you didn't have time to be sure to watch Rohan and I will now talk about his daily about the features of the city especially when you have not lived here for 20 years in India itself and then came back to the country how the country looks like after you saw the whole hi Rohan can you please make a short introduction about yourself and then we'll continue sure so my name is Rowan basically from Darjeeling it's the tea capital of the world I was born and brought up in Darjeeling I studied in Darjeeling and jazz in Bangalore which is in the southern part of India I left the country for about 22 years moved back to Delhi in 2015 and since then I've opened a restaurant and I'm now settled here in Delhi how old are you I'm not 40 you're not worried okay so you traveled the world for 22 years why did you make this decision to travel all around the world and how you find this work doing the travel business so you're in travel business so basically when I was a kid I was always interested in joining the hospitality industry I thought it looked really nice it looked a little really glamorous so I was always interested in joining hospitality since I was maybe 12 13 and during that age I was more interested in cooking so similarly normal that after I finished college I afford my education so basically I did my +2 which is your 12th standard normally people would spend 3 4 years in college to specialise in what they want to do whether it's arts or commerce or science I saved those 3 years and specialized immediately after college into hospitality so I went to Switzerland I did my diploma over there and since then I started travelling to all different who paid for your education are you from rich family my father had paid for my education and that's something a lot of parents in India do they take care of the kids even after they have passed the age of 18 not very wealthy then but my father made the sacrifice he made the arrangements he made sure that I got the education that would help me do good in life what did your parents do for living so my mom is a housewife she took care of us my father is an interior designer and architect based in Darjeeling and then when I left for Switzerland in 1997 he moved the entire family and business to Kathmandu Nepal and that's where he started his new phone nowadays you can compare educational system in Europe and here in India which one is better and what's the difference between them see my education goes way back I mean I finished my high school in 1997 we're now in 2018 a lot has changed since then I'm not very familiar with the current process but what I can say to my personal experience the Indian system from when I started you had a lot of information they teach you a little bit about of everything and the specialization only happens very later like when you go to college and even then you're not sure what you want to do so it's a little bit of everything so you do a little bit of business of Commerce of science so it's overwhelming with a lot of information but I would say in the long run I think if people were able to specialize at an earlier age they would have more focus on what they want to do because a lot of people in my batch in my age group we left college we left school and they had no plan they didn't know what to do in life so I guess that's the downside is there's so much of information but there is no specialisation but I think that has changed now so let's go back 22 years ago when you firstly left India I believe that was the first time and what was your impression when you relocated to Switzerland or for studying there for me I mean you heard the word culture shock a lot of people come to Asia and they get culture shock I got quite a shock when I went to Switzerland because I couldn't imagine a country that was so beautiful and perfect so for me it was amazing to see that people followed all the rules everything worked like clockwork no matter where you took a picture it looked like a postcard you wouldn't see hanging wires you saw no garbage on the street so for me took 3-4 months just to adjust to understand how could people live like this because coming for a country that had so many people and you see a lot of other things yeah that was a big shock for me so my first culture shock was going to Switzerland and I would say my second culture shock was when I moved back to India in 2015 that again was a shock because I spent 22 years abroad and then to come back to India and to start living here again it felt very new that's going back to India and can you compare the Europeans and the Asians what really differs them because I understand that there are good people everywhere and very good people everywhere yeah but we if we compared the mentality the traditions the culture what really differs Europeans and Indians from my perspective and I could be wrong because everyone has a different experience so going back to 97 when I first went to Switzerland my entire batch was mixed there were people who are as young as me between the ages of 17 going up to 27 and I felt I was very immature I was in the classroom I was the only Indian student and we had maybe about 10 nationalities we had people from France from Switzerland it was an English school the course wasn't English and as interacting with people for the first time from different countries and I felt that my I was very mature and I couldn't I didn't have the confidence to talk to people to have a conversation and that was one thing that I found very similar with the other Asian students that we had from China and Indonesia and Singapore and Brunei so that is for me was the initial challenge how I felt that there had matured earlier than I had and after 22 years of experience I can say that I would say the way we are brought up over here I wouldn't say it's close but it's protected your family is always a huge part for you in the States for example at the age of 18 you declare that you're independent you leave your house to do your own job and own work but over here people stay with their family they find a job but they stay with the family to get married but they stay with the family and that evolves everything is around the family and that's something that's variation and something I've learned from my wife is that our culture and Russian culture is not that different at the end of the day that you will see a lot of similarities because the family is the nucleus and everything happens around the family but that's how I found it very different same in Canada in the u.s. because those people were more independent and life was more about an individual person it is what they wanted to achieve what they wanted to do in life and the family was on the side the family was not as involved if you wanted to make a decision if we wanted to get married the family was not so much a part of it right so your family was there in the background to support you when needed but over here in Asia the family is more in the center and you are part of that friends now our was the head of the family dad's name is Rakesh and now we will talk and learn a lot about his life I will just ask you to introduce yourself please for the viewers so I'm Rakesh Trivedi and born in the city of Allahabad and my childhood my schooling my part of the university and then I started my practice as a professional lawyer in Allahabad High Court and after about 20 years then in 1997 I shifted to Delhi to practice in the Supreme Court of India and incidentally I had done my law also from Delhi University law faculty at a time when my father laid just shriya's in the way they was judge of the Supreme Court of India Wow so he died while he was in office and I was just completing my law course so when I finished my and got my law degree then he was not there so I decided to go back to Allahabad and start my career from there so finally in 1997 I shifted and initially in Noida now in Joburg that's where you are so it looks like the whole your family like your roots are down to the law and all of your family lawyers yes my father and his brother elder brother they were the son son now yeah so yes so son my son will be the third generation but my father and my uncle they were the first generation lawyers would you go the same path which you did in the last many 40 years or would you like to change something in its past which you had till this day to change if I have another chance yeah no I if a second chance is there maybe I am NOT a lawyer I would like to work more actively and fully for the change of my development of my country as a lawyer you can contribute of course but not in that way so I really can't say for second chance but more or less I'm fully satisfied with the course which my life took in fact in between my practice as a lawyer I had the switch to poly politics also for some time and I was working with the utmost downtrodden section of the country the tribals and the horizon's' so as a communist party member so I had worked for about six or seven years and I also was sent to jail twice Wow for what for for trying to improve the lot of the poor so like there was land distribution laws were made in India we call them ceiling laws they imposed ceiling on land holdings so farmers cannot own beyond 20 acres so the surplus land excess land is distributed to the poor but the poor people were not getting that land so I participated in that struggle and twice in that connection the police arrested me and they sent me to jail along with the farmers and poor people so that's how that struggle was going on so what after six seven years then I came back to the profession and then progressed and finally landed in Delhi what are the three things that inspire you in India or make you happy about India the first thing which inspires me is the freedom struggle against the British colonialists which led to the gaining of independence in 1947 and then our elders framing the Constitution of India and converting into a India into a constitutional democracy on a circular basis where there is room for diversity so as javelin aru said unity in diversity so but that's what the Constitution framework is but the real struggle which is going on still is to realize it so that's the second part which is the most relevant part today in India is how we stabilize India as a secular country as a democratic country just I mean again we find that those who are in power they want to muzzle the freedom of the press muscle the freedom of writers freedom of the opponents so nobody people in power don't like different views they want compliance obedience discipline so that's the Democratic part of the struggle then India is so diverse that if you move from north to south from east to west different languages different cultures different for cuisines different lifestyles somebody eating beef somebody not eating beef and people worshipping different gods so how to keep them the unity of India preserving the freedom of people to live the way they want and our courts have contributed quite a lot in that direction because they have interpreted the fundamental right to life and liberty to mean that everybody has the right to live the way they feel like where do you see the future of the country our future of the country is definitely bright because conflict between the different organizations show that people want change there are litigations also for fighting against pollution the litigation also that in the valley there should not be firecrackers and we saw that children are coming out they are abstaining from firecrackers so as a consequence the consciousness amongst the people for cleaner India and that is growing that's one of the good things which this government has done is to increase the consciousness of the people towards that but so there are there is awareness also for fighting against corruption it is still high here corruption is very high and it seems to be growing and some it's the only feature which is common to all countries it seems some last questions you live in this house for him for how many years oh we came from noida to Delhi in 2010 so it's about do you rent it or your own it maybe you own it you own it what would be the cost of this particular house and in Delhi or today it should be in dollars maybe 400 million rupees or something 400 million rupees that's that's enough well we can calculate it easily so the cost would be 400 million rupees and the very last one I were happy person now I've been happy throughout my life with whatever I was doing at every point of time and you may call it God's grace or whatever if you believe in God but I'm happy I've achieved much beyond I could have dreamed why did you decide to start your own business in Delhi come back to Delhi and started in Delhi so if there was one moment that I still remember this day like it was yesterday we were studying I'm sorry I was working in the Bahamas I was the director for food and beverage with sandals results very popular especially in the US and their health properties all over the Caribbean so had been at sunless resource for four and a half years and you want to grow you want to know what's next right and that's probably when I have my live my midlife crisis I woke up one morning and I was shaving and I look at myself in the mirror and I just told myself like talking to myself I said Rohan today is today meaning today is the day that you will resign with no second thought I went to work and I attended in my resignation and I gave them two months notice so you just did it just did it guys just do it because my thing was there's never a right time but what I didn't want is to look back 20 years later and have regrets because I was working for someone else but you need to have the guts to do something and you can only do something if you make the effort there's no right time you just have to make a commitment the time is now because we have enough of excuses right tomorrow's a good day we'll do it another day so I just took that chance and I said well today's the day fine today's today I went and I resigned and my now wife not then wife was not very happy because she was thinking of leaving the company too and I'm moving on but I managed to steal her thunder I resigned before she has a chance to resign so yeah so that's how what happened I moved to Delhi I lived in Kathmandu for nine months because I never spent so much time with my parents and my brother so it was nice to come home not have a job but I was still financially secure because I had enough of savings I spent nine months at home we live with my parents got to know the family again because for 22 years you haven't really been around I used to have vacation time but vacation is like three weeks four weeks and then you go back for a year so Kim spends nine months in Kathmandu then came to dog to Delhi didn't have a plan didn't know what I was going to do but knew it would be food-related because that was my experiencing hospitality and it took me one year of market research to finally understand that I wanted to open a restaurant and it took a year in planning and we opened this in December 2016 so you invested yourself a lot I used the only one owner or you're like several owners here so Roadhouse is a brand from Nepal so we have a very interesting story there as well so Roadhouse is an extremely popular brand in Kathmandu Nepal they have a lot of restaurants in the PAL in Kathmandu they have a resort in Pokhara which is a beautiful destination they have opened another restaurant and this last week or two weeks ago they opened the Roadhouse in Tamil a hotel a boutique hotel so we have been friends for the past twenty five years during this entire time when my parents moved to Nepal so Chandan Chandan and Ranjan are the two brothers who own the brand so they were interested in expanding the business so what I did was I took the franchise is photo brand and brought the brand to India so in India I'm the director for old house we want to expand we want to go into more cities in India and I represent the brand but Chandan and Ranjan are the partners who owned the business in Nepal and I have the franchise contract for the whole of India what had been the cost if I would like to open the same quality of a restaurant with the same name famous name name from the pal here in the same districts in Delhi it comes back to a lot of variable so you would have to have a very good understanding of the market and the market keeps changing based on environment in the market in 2016 is very different from where it is now so ballpark figure you're looking at it will be about 300,000 u.s. not that much is it including the tables everything everything but in all the equipment's you basically need to have a ballpark budget and India will deliver okay you can make anything possible over yellow within your budget if you want to spend 10 times more you can spend 10 times more and make it bigger and right better or you can spend ten times less and open up place for ten thousand us and you can still make a living and settle here tell me some stories about how is it for you and not only for you for for for everyone doing business here the atmosphere and what your face so doing business in India was a challenge more for me because I don't I didn't have any background in business I worked in hotels but in hotels you do your job you get a fixed salary that's going straight into account you can spend it freely so you have a secure income but when you enter into business there is no secure income you have to spit you have to meet all your expenses and if anything is left you might get some even nothing is left you have to say for the next month because you have to pay your rent you have to pay their salaries you have to pay your staff you have to buy your food so you don't become the priority anymore you're the last thing that's important when it comes to business because the survival of your business is everything to you this is your bread your bottom right I'm doing business in India it's getting better I think there's more transparency now than there was 22 years ago and the current government has has done a lot of in to put more systems in place to make sure that things are a little more clear we just came back from a trip to Bali and we were just there for two weeks with the family and we have friends who have lived in Bali and they said that Roman the corruption in Bali is probably much much higher than it is in India or really but I don't know because I don't live that I don't work that from a personal experience my dear friend Anand he and I studies in Bangalore so I've known him for 27 years there's a lot more and when I came back to India he was really scared as a good friend because he thought that I had become a foreigner I didn't why wasn't adjusting or I would not be able to manage India so one day he said Rohan I need to sit you down and I need to teach you a very interesting word like okay Anand he's like what Rohan remember this word for the rest of your life like what is the word Anand he's the word is jugaad you go to God so every Indian who watches this video will probably boys are laughing right now because jugaad means contacts contacts networking networking everything in India have ensued you got everything because when everything if whenever you want something to get done if you don't have the right contacts your life will be so much harder the contacts will not make it will save you time basically it's not that the work will not get done but if your people work gets lost in the system you could be looking for the same table for the next 20 years of your life and you would never get the file but through Dugard the only thing it gives you is some form of getting things done in a timely manner because things never absolutely on time over here things are very laid-back did you operationally breakeven yes operationally yeah and in terms of investments any break-even yet ah no because right now we're looking at expanding the business whatever we get we're putting it back into the company to mention your universal serene mess okay can you tell me something more about the revenues you get here like a mouth low daily revenue and was there ever checking how many people you have here in the restaurant so in terms of stuff I have 19 stuff right that's between the housekeeping people to keep the place clean to my ships and to my service stuff because we are open 7 days a week and we open from morning or close to noon till till half-past 12:00 at night initially when we opened we do not have an alcohol license because of government rules and regulations that took a long time to happen so in terms of that the primary expenses over here will be in terms of rental salaries and these are your fixed costs in terms of electricity which is pretty much the same it gets a little more expensive in the summer because consumption of power is higher in the summer but a lot of the elliptically equipment is running on power and power is not as cheap and I'm not comparing it to other countries because I don't have those figures again I was working in the hotels but you don't look at the electrical bill we just know that but it half-birthday ballpark a ballpark figure would be anyways between seventy two hundred and fifty seven to two hundred and fifty was the average chuck so the average check in indian rupees varies because some people see over here we are looking at at doing italian food a little bit of fusion elements because it has to go with the indian palates because alien palate is very complex they don't like bland food per se by the end of the day we are trying to bring in true authentic Italian flavors so a pizza for two or three might suffice or a table might order some alcoholic beverages couple of pizzas and pastas so the average check can vary between 500 rupees and can go up to about two thousand rupees it varies are you happy with your decision to come back to India and Delhi and open a business here every time I meet people at the restaurant we meet a lot of people right and and they said so you look oh you sound like because I still have a little accent right and when I speak Hindi I don't speak Hindi like a local people think that I am not from India that have moved to India because my MV is not the accent gives me away so when I talk to people they're like no you're not from here and then I tell them the story that I was from Darjeeling and then I studied and lived abroad and then I moved back to India and they're like what's wrong with you why did you come back because when I tell them they're like wait did you come from I like from the Bahamas they said you'd left the Bahamas and you came to India and for me I mean for many people it's it sounds funny a lot of people want to leave the country to move abroad because they are fed up they don't like the education they don't like the family circumstances they feel there's no opportunity in the country so a lot of people every day they migrate right they go to Canada they go to Australia they go all over the world and then there are few people who haven't lived abroad come back to India why because no matter how crazy and chaotic it is this is what I missed in my 22 years Switzerland was too perfect too boring at the end of the day just feels like home to me the chaos the confusion the pollution the traffic it makes sense to me when you take all of that out of the equation you lose something it's hard to explain but a lot of people would understand that as well that it's the chaos and it's a good chaos and you actually enjoy it at the same time it's a little bit of stress but it's like you like working in a pressure environment and it's complex but it keeps it interesting and that's another reason why I change so many jobs in my life is once I don't like routine once it becomes too routine you know that every day is going to be the same it gets boring but in India every day is never the same in India every day is different and it keeps it interesting oh thanks a pleasure friends as you understand you should always do in life what inspires you when you shave whether you are I don't know coming or just drinking coffee make decisions and comply with them as I like to say just do it in English it sounds like the Nike brand statement and that man just did it he left the Bahamas and
