Hi guys, I'm Priyanka from New Delhi India. I want you all to know that becoming a vampire is not ritual or spiritual, as all these imposter’s are saying here. Last year I was scammed twice and I lost a lot of money, because of all these imposter’s here. Thanks to Vincent Muller the vampire Lord who later made me a vampire, which I later found out that becoming a vampire is not ritual or spiritual. You can contact Vincent Muller the Vampire Lord for more info: vampirelordcenter@gmail.com

Modi Narendra was trying to convince Trump about over 800,000 India citizens have waited some up to 10 years to live in the United States but that's not going to happen. During Trumps visit to India he said India is a sht hole and Trump was right.

Jatt. I'm a mayonnaise and I couldn't agree more. I'm checking this for a friend, but I'll move from the US to Chile soon. Same issues there, Spanish pushes the indigenous out and not there is a huge conflict to get some of their land back.

Mumbai like all of India is a dump like its people are. Everyone worldwide already knows that though. It's rat infested among many other downsides.

As a world traveler I cannot recommend Mumbai or anywhere else in India. Infrastructure is severely lacking undrinkable water very high utility costs and insufficient undependable transportation.A note on safety security is insufficient.
