I was there about 10 years ago and would like to go back.  I don't know 
about living there but I want to spend more time.  Incidentally in a 
western astrology technique called astro-cartography my Saturn line 
which is believed to show an ideal place to live ran right through 
Bombay.   Bombay smells, but that line also runs through a lot of neat 
places in India.

People in Indian regardless of status in life were friendly.  They are 
curious about westerners.  Even the airport security people would take 
time to chat often talking about how they wanted to visit America and 
that they had a cousin working here.   I actually dreaded coming back to 
the US as people would be uptight and assholes.  I wasn't 
disappointed.   Due to a flub-up at the Detroit airport we were delayed 
a couple hours as our luggage froze because they couldn't hook the plane 
up to the electrical conduit.  Needless to say people were not amused.

India's economy is booming and the new head honcho won on a platform of 
spreading it around a bit so the folks in the rural areas benefit too.  
When I was there some areas had not changed since the British were there 
and many of the buildings still had ancient early 20th century 
electrical wiring.  Also "Baywatch" dubbed in Hindi was one of the most 
popular TV shows.  :)
