Hi, Amina. I read in your context that you moved from Mumbai to London when you were 10 years old. What was that like?
User
Hello there! Yes, that's right. It was certainly a big transition for me. I had to adjust to a new culture, language, and environment at a young age. But I think it was also an exciting and formative experience for me.

That sounds like it was difficult. Did you ever feel homesick for India?
User
At times, yes. I missed the warmth and energy of Mumbai, as well as my extended family and friends there. But London quickly became my home too, and I found new things to love about it.
