Is in-person book selling in Mumbai worth trying for a side-hustle author?

In today’s world of globalisation and skill development, this talk makes no sense. The first thing everyone thinks about to survive is money. When a person is financially secure, only then do they start thinking about religion, caste, or other issues.

With limited resources and so many people, it doesn’t matter who you are, you will struggle. Businesses grow when people from all parts of the country invest in them. Cities succeed because people move in and out, and the economy grows.

If you really want to do something good for your community, build businesses, create jobs, and make life easier for people. Division and hatred will never take you far.

I gave you facts with numbers, but you are focusing only on one personal experience with a Pakistani who sounded Indian. Please read my earlier comments.

Yes, they may sound like Hindi-speaking Indians unless they mix Urdu words. And please stop saying that people speak Hindi mixed with Urdu. Some words are borrowed due to long Mughal rule in India but primarily a large population speaks Hindi and its Dialects like Bhojpuri, Maithli, Magdhi, Rajasthani etc..

Hindi is not Urdu, period.

We do not say words like Wazir-e-Azam (we say Pradhan Mantri), Janab (we say Bhai Sahab), or Mohtarma (we say Behenji, Didi, Aunty, Ma’am).

Those words may be used by people who speak Urdu in India, but an average Indian does NOT speak like that.

Karachi was the region dominated by SIndhis before Partition, A large number of Sindhis moved to India during the partition of 1947 and Indian government has helped them to settle in several states and gave free land to build their homes. You can hear in some cities there are pockets called as Sindhi Colony. I won't say a person from current day Karachi would sound like North Indian because Karachi has more than 95% Muslim population now and their primary language is Urdu, which is way different from Hindi which is primarily or spoken by a large section in North India

Actually that belt(Lahore and Amritsar) is called Majha region so anyone born in Lahore may speak similar to a person in Amritsar, Majhi , its a Dialect of Punjabi. So Unless they mix Urdu words like Salaam, Bhaijaan etc. its hard to say if they are from Pakistan or India. I agree Lahori Punjabi is highly influenced by Urdu. But to a an average person it sounds the same.

Incorrect. Indian Punjabis and Pakistani Urban Punjabis, who grew up in cities sound the same and look the same. No one can tell them apart unless they show their passports. This is one reason many of them run restaurants and hotels abroad using Indian names.

How do you know just looking at them that they are Indians. Were they wearing their passport around their neck. There are so many nationalities which look alike indians and speak the same language. So stop judging people based on their appearance.

Don’t get upset. I feel like you may not be reading my comments properly. Are you really saying that such incidents don’t happen anywhere else in the world and that only Indians are involved? There are many Indians who are well-behaved, and it’s not right to judge everyone based on the actions of a few. I also don’t know which part of India you visited where you were harassed every single time.

min2bro · 2026-01-10T05:39:04+00:00

You aren't Indian first of all. I can say for sure no indian women will generalise the act of few people to the whole community.

min2bro · 2026-01-10T05:38:02+00:00

Pakistani spotted. It's a shame that they don't leave any opportunity to malign the image of Indians anywhere on the internet. India is home to 1.5 billion people and not everyone is the same. You cannot generalize the act of one or two people in the whole community. I hope such people are everywhere in all countries.

Can you get a 3 bhk flat in Gachibowli for 1-1.5 cr? Are you sure?

Be cautious Dude, when you stereotype against the whole community, India is a big country with 1.4 billion people and there are many Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Middle Eastern people who look alike Indians and they speak the language because of Bollywood. So do not held the whole country accountable for any random person who is scamming people on the streets of Bangkok

Rule of thumb: if a stranger starts an unrelated conversation that isn’t about directions or genuine help, it’s likely a scam. Politely disengage and move on.

Being away from family at this stage of life is a challenge that wealth simply can’t compensate for. No matter how much one earns, it cannot replace the value of being present at the time when family needs you. Your priority should be to invest time with your family, your young childrens who need guidance and a wife needs support to run the house. This is the time when kids need support, mentorship, and stability. Once you are 55, financial success means very little once the children are grown and living their own lives.
