We met one morning in a coffee shop, smiled at each other, and started a conversation. It was just after the huge storm Bualoi. Shashi’s yoga center in Yen Bai had been flooded up to the roof, so he came to Hai Duong City to stay with a friend for safety. He said, “Friends are there for each other in difficult times.”

How did you start business here? Like, open a center in Vietnam?
My friend's boss, before he worked in Yanbai city,
last year he moved to Taizong city and I moved to
there, Yanbai city. So his boss, last boss, previous boss, she support me.
She's very kind and very helpful. Oh, she's Vietnamese? Yes. Nice.
Did you have to invest a lot of money? Not a lot of money, but I put my energy,
my hard work, everything. And Yanbai city have no have population, about the yoga,
no have craze. So that's why it's a normal business.
I think I need to think about, again, I continue there or not.
So, let's see. If everything is good, I will continue.
Yeah, take your time. These days in Hai Xua, you know, sometimes go to a new place,
meet new people. I already visited Hai Xua city last year. We both cook already.
Oh, you cooked? Wow. Seven years we stay alone, how can we manage?
And I'm vegan, so I need to cook myself. Because in the shops, restaurants,
have both, like vegan and non-vegetarian, both. So I cannot go to eat in restaurant.
We're only vegan, so I can go and eat. Yeah.
Green city, do you know Green city? There have vegetarian shop, only they cook vegan.
So I feel good to eat there. Oh, many shops, many shops.
Some city have no many shops, that's normal.
Yes, okay, that's always good, bad, ugly, beautiful sight. Yes, but always kindness,
you see. You meet kind people, and even you spread kindness everywhere you go,
from India to Vietnam. I didn't have a good experience when I went to Delhi,
many years ago, I was young. Because you're young and you're not mature, that's why.
Yeah, not mature, yeah. It's normal. Yeah, but the more Indian people I meet,
actually in Vietnam, and you as well today, it's changing my view, healing my bad memory.
Okay, open more for Indian, every person, you know. So thank you so much. Thank you.
You're most welcome, Miss Thao. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Good luck.
We just watch the train together, coffee bar.
This is Vietnamese popcorn, and it's vegan, of course.
But I cannot eat outside food. Why?
I cannot eat. I live already.
This is a small gift for me, please take it.
Thank you so much for the gift.
That's all for today. See you next time, and thank you.
