A SNIPPET OF LIFE IN MUMBAI | Niomi Smart

[@bebekeou]

Niomi is the type of person that anywhere in the world you put her, she will only see the positive and have fun and this is who I want to be in life...

[@2marelle]

Brilliantly said!

[@Traumatised311]

Ikr, she looks only at the positive side of India when there's so much to complain about and not like

[@musicforyou7648]

[@dinda7056]

We dont know whats behind the camera tho

[@cjm5151]

It's called being privileged. Never having a worry in the world, not wondering whether or not you'll be able to pay bills/ rent. Just skipping through life plucking daisies. It's quite clear this girl comes from an extremely wealthy family, and has been presented with far more opportunities than the average person could even dream of. Boring.

[@karthikaunni8734]

OMG!!!! I’m the viewer they bumbed into!!! Omg! I met them that day and they were the sweetest!!! AHHHHH!! I cannot believe she said I was sweet cause I was freaking out!!!

Niomi you're freaking incredible I love that you're doing your own thing in India and building your new life with the classes and new friends very inspiring!!

[@taytayqueen7024]

Kayla Naidoo Very very cool people in Mumbai. I have met and made friends and family from every corner of the world in this city.

[@natatatt]

I feel like you're showing a great way to get settled and comfortable in a new place. Exploring the city, finding new fave coffee shops etc, and taking a class seems like it would be a good way to help you start feeling like you belong and lessen homesickness.

[@tristaross2735]

I’m really enjoying these vlogs. I’m completely fascinated. You’re filming from the other side of our planet and I can enjoy it all from my phone!

Hmm Latin? 🤔😅

[@mrskfk6492]

You’re the sunniest, most positive, optimistic person, Niomi. You’re a joy to watch! x

[@rosiemcbloom5135]

It's so nice to see how well you're adjusting.. How positive you are.. You're not even complaining about the heat, the crowd, the traffic :D wow.. You're so positive. Me being an Indian I lose it and get so annoyed by the heat, people and traffic but you're like so nice 😍😍😍

[@PersianPowergirl]

Rosie Mcbloom, same here. 😁😅

[@sarahrose576]

As an Indian, I used to resent going to Bombay ever single time. Seeing this beautiful perspective from Niomi is so refreshing and makes me want to go back and explore without being angry because of the heat, people and traffic haha

[@cobalong]

@Anna Smith I think Rosie means is that she gets annoyed with the heat herself, not with other people getting annoyed with the heat.

[@tundereinhardt4676]

I think I would get annoyed with all the people beeping the horn. I think that would drive me crazy.

[@rosiemcbloom5135]

@Anna Smith girl, why you lying? I never said that. I was born and brought up in India studied in London for 2 years.. After coming back here initially it became so difficult for me as the traffic was insane and the crowd and the noise especially the honking.. It took me a while to adjust here.. So I find it really impressive how she is adjusting here and being so positive

[@ShaliniDaisy]

Just FYI, Anoushka Shankar is the daughter of the world renowned Sitar player Pandit Ravi Shankar and half sister of Grammy winner Norah Jones.

Hey niomi, I definitely recommend you visit "No borders", owned by a very close friend. "No borders" is all about locally and Internationally curated art and design. You will love it.

[@PersianPowergirl]

I love how you've settled right into Mumbai life. The noise doesnt eve bother you anymore. Well I've been here for 40 years...born in Mumbai...and I still havent gotten used to it. 😂

[@eke2952]

I love watching this! I traveled in India with my boyfriend for 4 weeks and we started out in Mumbai. It was the craziest and best thing I experienced, and your vlogs take me right back ❤

[@knowthyselfandyoullknowthe8216]

Lucky you Anouschka Shankar WOW I know nothing about India but I LOOOOOOOOOVE Anoushka's music (just like I love her dad's music and her sister's Norah Jones)....my favorite of hers is "Dancing in Madness" (blends indian music and flamenco) by the way that whole album of hers "Traveller" is an absolute masterpiece :)

[@kaesmithmusic]

I agree! She's amazing! Thank you, Niomi, for including that clip!

[@mridul7639]

My mom absolutely loves her!

[@sarahporter7769]

Wow, you were so privileged to have the chance to see Anoushka Shankar live. Her half sister being Nora Jones and what's soooo very special, her father being the late and amazing Ravi Shankar.

[@juliajoy3305]

I am from Australia and I have been to India myself, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Agra. I loved it, except for the heat as I much prefer cold weather. I would have loved it even more if it wasn't a school trip. I am hoping to go to Mumbai one day and this video has made me want to go even more.

[@taytayqueen7024]

Julia Joy Definetly go to Mumbai. It is the coolest. Completely different vibe from that side.

[@suhridguha2560]

Well if you like cooler temperatures visit the north eastern states or any of the many many hill stations throughout the country

[@lauramiller1124]

your mumbai videos have been my absolute favorite !!!!! your energy is amazing

[@dhwanimehta3354]

I feel so connected to your videos about Mumbai (spent 22 years of my life in Mumbai). You should visit Grand Mama's cafe in Dadar/ Bandra. Also one tip coz I have noticed many people new to Mumbai do not know... when you are purchasing things in festivals, on roads (bandra, andheri), Colaba you can bargain the price down upto 30%-40% percent. Hope you fall in love with Mumbai ..cya

[@nidhibhattacherjee8284]

Beautiful Vlog Niomi. I’ve also been learning about Ayurveda in the past year and fascinated by its ancient wisdom.... Mumbai looks like such a vibrant and amazing city, would love to visit one day. X

Sorry I have never written to you before but I have been following you for a while now. I feel you hardly show your struggles and I am sure there are many especially when you move to a country where you don’t know many people, no family or friends around. But in saying that you have settled in like it was your home, may be in the past life or something haha. You are doing a great job Niomi. And thank you for portraying my country and its culture the way you have. After watching all the mumbai vlogs I feel like you might have to show me around when I visit home next. All the best.

[@MindfulMya]

I love this so much. I thank you for taking the time to show India and how many people have misconceptions about foreign countries. I love that you are sharing so much about your life and how things are going. I can't wait to see how your move goes and hope your new apartment is cozy. I still can't believe the noise pollution so noisy...lol

As a nutritionist I need to desagree with the part regarding plant drinks/milks. Plant milk should be fortified with calcium and B12 to avoid deficiencies. It's hard to achieve in your own kitchen. That's why supermarket plant milks have the advantage over anything made at home. Before the plant milks started being fortified with calcium vegans had a high rate of fractures

[@deepblue3682]

Vegans can always take sesame and poppy seeds for calcium.. Ayurveda insist usage of sesame candys in case of calcium defficency and fractures (although ayurveda promotes milk/ dairy product intake of indegenious breeds producing A2 milk, as in india cows are generally treated well..!.)..

Ive lived in the UAE where the driving is, lets say, questionable, and anything you can do to keep you safer is a must believe me. Ironically we have just had what we believe to have been a fatal accident (possibly multiple fatalities) outside our house this afternoon on the A55 on Anglesey. Keep safe!
