Mumbai trip comes to an end. Watched 9 movies over three days. did a lot of solo going out and solo socializing. met a lot of interesting people by randomly initiating conversation at bars and theaters (this is probably because Mumbai!). Watched theater for the first time!

met a dj at a bar and he invited me to the pub where he was doing a set the next day! (I got in for free by saying I’m friends with the dj! Cover was 3k). Met a girl at that pub who said she could get me into bastian for 2k and who said her psych encourages her to take ozempic 😭😭. met a person who invited me to do lines in his car 😭😭 (I declined). Met a VP at Morgan Stanley and we discussed debt markets (he said when he normally tells people where he works they ask him which stocks to buy 🤣🤣).

Mumbai what an insane place ❤️❤️
