A secret you discovered about Mumbai...
I discovered the colour and festivity.

An Indian product or service you can’t do without?
I have become very fond of sweets, like soan papdi and several others. I am also more appreciative of the cuisine. This will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Any fashion tips?
I wish the women here would wear saris. As an artist, I enjoy the folds and feel of fabric.

Dared to try street food?
Oh, yes. I stick to the vegetarian food and eat at what I consider “clean” stalls. You can eat very well for Rs 20.

A phrase you’re bound to hear?
“Hello, what country are you from?”

Your road experiences?
I never thought a car stops for a pedestrian. That’s why I’m still here.

What is sexy about Mumbai?
The saris worn by women are amazing.

Truly, madly, deeply, Mumbai...
This city is full of life and active all the time. There is a lot of colour and music everywhere.

What are the similarities or differences between Mumbai and your hometown?
San Francisco and Mumbai are both big cities along the coast. There is a big Asian population there. Mumbai has quite a few westerners.
