The best health decision I’ve ever made didn’t involve a six-pack diet, a fitness app or a gym subscription.
It was choosing to live in a home that felt like peace.
I stretched my budget by 30–40% to rent a place in Juhu, a lush, quiet area five minutes from the beach.
In a city like Mumbai, where noise, chaos and pollution are part of the daily package, this felt like rebellion. Breezy mornings, birdsong instead of honking horns and air that doesn’t feel like punishment.
I often joke that you blindfolded someone and dropped them here, they’d never believe they were in Mumbai.
Every evening, when I head home, it doesn’t feel like I’m escaping the day, it feels like I’m returning to myself. In fact, I look forward to coming home every day.
That calm? That clarity? That’s health, too.
