and people think diarrhea is because of spicy food , this guy explained it better !

I was once cycling and i fell , this bunch of teenager from India who is sitting nearby quickly ran over and help me and they keep asking , r u ok uncle .. I was really touch by their compassion

8:52 he's right, 95% of the seats offered to my mum on the MRT are the Indians, my mum was very grateful for this when she had a knee injury and had to travel to get treatment. Now that she's healed up well, she accepts their nice thoughts instead and tells them to take back their seat because they paid for it too, and needs it more than us (often they're otw back home after work or had a long day).

I like this guy, his attitude towards life is priceless and he explains things better. If there is more people like Andy the world would be a better place.

I have lived in singapore for 1 years. This guy totally understood and adopted to indian culture. And he is right I also got sick in my first week when I moved to singapore

Respect this guy! He invested his time in India and he is truly understand Indian and India.

I like how he had a slight Indian accent and even does the head movements, Indians are truly magical people. They really understand how to make a stranger feel like family right away!

His last sentence is truly meaningful:" if the world ends tomorrow, you should not have any worries today".

Andy is gem of a man and he teaches us Indians about the country more than our eyes might see. Proves how a willingness to be evaluated and seen by the perceived others makes us all better and opens new horizons for everyone. Great work from Max too that he deserves to be thanked for.

Andy is a class act..if there are more like him the world would be a better place..

Rightly said, The diarrhea is not because of air or any such thing. It’s a person’s micro-biome in the gut. The ecosystem of digestion enabling bacteria are different across people living in different regions and based on the food they consume.

Thank you, Andy. We (Indians) can learn a lot from your experience of living in INDIA. Thank you, Max!

His respect and understanding of Indian culture and people is a far cry to most people today. Really liked his calm energy and respectful and empathetic way he spoke.

Andy dont have a degree but he has wisdom, Happiness /= Money, and Life = Death. Many still don't realise

Smartest Singaporean with great wisdom. What a life he has had and learned from his travels. Very inspirational.

This is the best interview so far on your channel. This man deserves an award for the most humble Singaporean I have seen to date. God Bless you ...

His observertion of foreign workers giving up MRT and public bus seat to those who need it is absolutley true, not many Sporean do it. This is also my observersation.

After a lifetime of living abroad because of my parents jobs I decided to come back & settle down in India. I like the thought that I'll be contributing a very small part in re-building 21st century India. Anyone who knows our history knows we have gone through constant societal restructuring every few generations. And now is the post-western/post-capitalism restructuring. Thats why we get to see so many remnants & different phases of the past just sitting and collecting dust. Plus there's a lot more room for economic growth when you're a developing country; lots of opportunities for jobs, new architecture & just in general new development all around. Also I don't know why but I like the chaotic-laxness, the sweet to spicy, the old & new etc etc. It's diversity that's been bred through ages of being on this land.

I met Andy when we were both in the Air Force. Lost touch with him after. Always wondered what happened to him and was surprised to come across this video. Thanks for sharing!

He came to India for work in 2006 and i went to Singapore for work in 2006 I lived for 15 years there and came back to India. I think we both took great decisions.

Andy by living in India for many years giving a truthful account of India . I express my deepest thanks for his honesty .

It was a great interview. I love his extremely mindful way of living. His words encapsulate all the Buddhist philosophy books I've read.

He got what real india is about, especially south india. Life equals death. That is a quote which summarized what India is about. Spirituality and belongingness ❤ Kudos to you Andy🙏

Even Indians living in same state ,will find something new whenever we visit another place , every 100 Kms there are change in food ,tradition, language dialect etc

What a gem , this Singaporean, he actually has it right about life, just relax man…. love it. This is proof, that India is the spiritual hub of the Universe.

I understand Andy's predicament as a working adult with a diploma holder in Singapore as I am in the same shoes too. But I stuck to the quest of acquiring better academic qualifications, transiting from manufacturing to IT back in the early 90s. I spent 8 years to study part-time while working full-time for my diploma, degree and masters. Eventually I did managed to transit into IT and work as a senior IT engineer. But my journey didn't end there, I managed to qualify for skilled migration to Australia so I took the plunge to move. That was back in 2006, since then I spent another 7.7 years to study part-time for my postgrad and PhD in AI while working full-time as an IT engineer and graduated at age 55. I am confident to say that the difficulty that I face in Singapore, motivated me to move and seek better avenue to improve myself given the lack of education opportunity that is available to me back in SG. Reflecting back on my past, I always think that I can be of something better, and I took the arduous path to actualize it despite facing a multitude of obstacles.

Wow, this was a reminder for me to be more human, look at life differently and much slowly, be open minded and adapt to changes. Need more people like you

What a great interview and also that Andy is so selfless to sharing his experiences and philosophy. He may not have known but i believe many viewers here are “touched” by some good pointers he has had made. Thank you Max for posting this.

Very good interview. Andy is so down to earth, and clear even headed. Hope our authorities listen to this interview and make the necessary changes to improve our tourism competitiveness and also general business competitiveness.

His thoughts and directions in his life is very clear and humble. He is already getting enlighted about the meaning of life❤

Such a smart yet humble guy.. his open mindedness and curiosity can and have taken him further than the degree would have

You've had some great guests on, Max (thank you and thanks to them as well), but this was an unexpected true gem. Much - MUCH - appreciated. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this interview, Andy is an amazing person with an open mind and love his outlook in life

Andys POV on our existence and life in general in the last 5 mins of this video is THE BEST!!

I'm learning a lot from Andy who really has got a lot to share about the meaning of life, the journey and, success etc. He's so inspiring because he managed to breakdown those minute details about success which I myself could not have thought out.

Max you have a knack for finding wise people to talk to. I love the people you talk to and the way you draw them out. The Bollywood Expat was awesome too!

Very positive guy, who made good without academic credentials. Respect.

Another awesome video Max! I salute n respect Andy for his candid views n see through the complexity of life. End of day, we need to find a balance n be happy in life. Yes, nobody escapes death ... the end game.

This will be the highest viewed video for max.. all Indians truly appreciate this. Thankyou for this video. Will definitely visit his restaurant

Thank you for sharing your experience about SOUTH INDIA

What an honest and heartfelt review of India!❤

Wow really enjoyed this interview! Love Andy’s perspective on life and his experiences. Do more of this!

What a sensible, humble person, loved listening to his pearls of wisdom, very good understanding of the situations he was in, most impressed by his ultra quick responses, even for deeply philosophical questions!

At 10:00, small correction: Sundar Pichai graduated from Vana Vani Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Chennai, India, in the 12th grade. He then attended the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur to study metallurgical engineering

REALLY LOVED THIS VIDEO, the attitude of this guy towards life and what I was searching for was answered by him actually.THANK YOU. ALSO, LOVED THE VIEW OF SINGAPORE IN THIS VIDEO.❤❤❤

Andy is such a genuine guy, who wouldn’t want to be his friend, good vibes . I wish you all the best Andy - continued success and happiness.

The interview sure took place in Singapore, I never saw such clean and designed place in India.

Totally agree to his notion about meaning in life! I have come to live the moment every day after losing three young friends during 3-year this pandemic..learn to be grateful every day when we wake up!:)

He has, in very simple terms, explained what real development is and what is needed for India to become a vishwaguru. Human development has to be prioritised, making sure that people have education and the skills to work, not just in south but also in northern India.

Great interview, what a great education travelling and working with different people from different countries gives you....more interviews please....really enjoying the content!

So much of sense came from this interview... thank you.❤

Wonderful Wonderful video. As an Indian living in Singapore for 15 years this was thoroughly enjoyable. Am sure lots of people will comment and defend some of the things he has shared about India, but he is quite measured and clear.

This was a really good interview. As Always Thanks Max for the awesome work and A Very Merry Christmas.

He sounds like a wise sage.He has a old kind soul and the journey just enhanced his outlook in life.Makes me appreciate me😊

I like the way the interviews are conducted where the guest speaks and finishes before being asked another question :) great channel ...

This man is absolutely correct about few things, I am from Bangalore and when I went to Singapore I could not sleep well, it is hot and humid, all time AC drying u up, No sleep no good digestion and no seasons. It was hard for me and I could stay only 2 years after which I ran back to India.

SUPER, NICE TO HEAR POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT INDIA FROM A FORIGENER, WHO HAS SPENT QUITE SOME TIME IN INDIA. EVERY COUNTRY HAS ITS OWN POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES. WE ALL SHOULD GRASP THE POSITIVES ALONE LIKE THE SINGAPOREAN....... HATS OFF TO HIM

This became more of a philosophical interview and he made a lot of sense. Really enjoyed the video.

I like this interview. Especially towards the end. Happiness don’t need a lot of money. That’s very true. Adjusting one expectation and managing that I guess is what success means

He is a gem of a man… ❤

Super liked the video and Andy’s thought process towards India and life.

One of the best episodes, so organic...so real and an honest interview. Thank you, Max and Andy.

As a northeast Indian completing my schooling and graduation in Kerala kochi and Chennai TN, I i totally agree with his words. I have stayed in north India for some years, the main difference is the way how to get along with the locals. South Indian is easy to blend into social terms and its hard in north india. Superior and inferior thinking are more into North Indian. Nevertheless we are Indian Jay hind.

Eye opening. Thank you Andy and Max

Thank you for the interview!

10:07. Sundar Pichai is from Chennai but graduated from IIT Kharagpur, just as I did 15 years before him. Educational loans are available at low interest in India. It used to be 4% back then in the '70s. The telephones were not available easily or cars not affordable back in '70s unlike today. Education in prestigious government premium schools are subsidized heavily.

This guy has such a great observation!!

Andy is a interesting person to interview and engage. Very intelligent from candid talk, emotion skills high score! Kudos, Andy!

I like this guy's attitude to life. Unpretentious, honest, and direct. When he said life = death I just went blank. Amazing video.

This kind of insight from a foreigner is very very rare. He has gotten it right!!!

Indian food scene has changed a lot in Singapore, in 1990s Indian food in Singapore meant Roti Canai, Ayam Kurma and Ayam Mutarbak. Nowadays in Singapore there are fine dining Indian restaurants serving Warqi Paratha, Kakori Kabab, Basket Chaat, Aaloo Chaat etc.

What a gentleman he is, I could listen to him the whole day, so kind and compassionate!

Superb talk , straight forward , and to the point !

I am an indian who moved to singapore ten days ago... And already noticee that the locals here dont give their seats even to very elderly people in thw mrt or buses.. We indians have a different level of respect for elders... Our food is amazing... Already missing indian food and so many things here... Although singapore is cleaner and more organised but its so expensive cost if living is very high

There's a very positive vibes around this person. He got the perspective on life spot on. He got facts about India pretty accurate

Thank you , i really liked this video / discussion. There is so much to understand, to learn.

This guy is a gem 💎. Can learn life and happiness from this guy. Singapore protect him at any cost.

not many talking about death. kudos to our brother Andy

Beautiful host and interview done well.. all the points and questions well spaced and heard

Another wonderful video, Mr Chernov.

It is also land of spirituality, peace. And last but not the least it has unity in diversity. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 I am 19 and I as Indian went to every State of India but still every city to city and village to village are different region, wonderful cultures and Architecture you will get to see, Even in Languages and food also. You have to spent many years to explore whole India.

Being an Indian Expat, I was looking for something like this for a long time , to understand how do they view such a country with broad bandwidth or say 2 or multiple extremes of economy , culture and positive/negative transformations. He is tremendously intellectual on what he shared. One thing I personally learnt the most in Singapore, may be its predominantly only in my company cause its a robotic company tranformed from startup , here People dont whine / badmouth behind , no pointing fingers without clarity and solution seeking without excuses with resources. That aside Pretty much recent generation (whoever got the job they wanted) are so workoholic and towards salary now unlike 2009 he was talking about, the software developers in India are bit more grinded / stressed , wheras in this island Country , from shop keepers to fintech Employees, its racy day always.

He is really a nice and sorted man about life. Very inspirational.👏👏👏🙏

Very nice interview...if u hv spark within u ....u are unstoppable ....a humble successful person makes u great.

The north south point he mentioned is absolutely on point and i agree so strongly with that.

That overcrowded train shot seems like from 1940s during partion of India when people were fleeing for their life from one place to the other.

omg...he's such a soothing person to listen to....i'm very captivated n inspired by his POV on life n happiness....Don chase the $$,n lose the 😌...my nxt Sg visit will defientely stop by his shop,just to meet him in person!Aura of a nice person!Tq for the wonderful interview!

Great Interview. really appreciate it Max.

Having stayed in Singapore more the 4 years and batam around 2013 .. it still amazed me there was so much cost difference .. in everything ….. but yes Singapore should opt for free tourist visa , of course it has to be regulated with heavy penalty etc … It will give tough completion for other south east Asia tour capital

i feel this guy knows more about india than people living in india.

Spontaneous yet very much on the spot observations!

OMG Andy Lim, you are so amazing. Love the way you explain of your knowledge/experience. Nicely said :)

What a wise man! Indeed, Covid taught us a lot of meaning in life.

If u will have come to Northeast you will have experience somehow the same hospitality as South India As a part of Northeast I can say here in Northeast as well people are so kind and helping to each other

Omg ..this s d best interview I watched ..I just became a fan of this man ...he spoke my mind

I enjoyed this interview and Andy's take on life. Keep it up! And well done....

Andy has great insights into Bharat or India even if he is just 60% accurate on his observations. But I love his infectious enthusiasm for our Bharat. Thank you Andy.
