Twenty-eight and very ready to admit I am not in this for the adventure of it. The adventure faded around the eighteen-month mark; what kept me here was the better hours and the chance to read more than I did when I was a junior banker on Lower Parel street. Two and a half years and counting, and I am better at this than I ever was at credit research.
I run a tight calendar. Booking 24 hours in advance, dinner-then-room evenings, no apartment visits, no overnight on a first booking, and a hard 1 am end on weekdays. Most of my clients are visiting Mumbai for two-three nights and want one steady evening they do not have to think hard about.
For clients filtering through Mumbai hotel escort listings, mine is the slower-paced end. I prefer reading the menu twice, picking the wine carefully, and letting the rest of the evening unfold from there. WhatsApp only, photo after intro, polite first messages get faster replies.
