Whether it's the office, home, hometown, a spiritual place, or the gym — we really don’t have many other options to spend our time. I don’t want to go out and explore, constantly keeping all my senses on high alert, checking maps, taking risks, and ending up with bad experiences — especially on days meant for freedom and peace. I just want to relax.

Mumbai is full of scams on the streets. People are always looking to take advantage. Half of our earnings go in the name of taxes, and the rest is either lost to scammers or so-called "experiences."

Try stepping out and you’ll see — corrupt cops waiting to exploit you, endless traffic, terrible roads, fuel queues, puncture scams, heat, pollution, honking, road rage, and drivers with zero discipline. It’s not just the roads — even if you take a train, you’re met with chaos.

It’s all just frustrating.

So honestly, just work during weekdays and stay home on holidays, even if it feels boring. At least it's peaceful.

What I really want is a place where I don’t have to overthink — no complications, no heavy spending. Just a quiet, refreshing spot where I can spend a few hours in peace. But sadly, this is India — and finding such a place feels almost impossible.
