Humbling moment in first week of coming to Mumbai Mumbai is home to many billionaires and millionaires, but hearing about money and wealth on Instagram and in the news is one thing, and witnessing it is another.

He checked the machine, it hadn't even printed the damn tickets despite the system deducting the... 3 1 replies

I... 1 0 replies
