Behind the lens: WhatsUpTenant's rise
An social media video showing a foreign tenant paying ₹4 lakh in monthly rent for a home near Bengaluru has triggered both admiration and disbelief online. The house, located near Nandi Hills Road, is nearly a two-hour drive from the city's core.The tenant, a Mexican national, appears relaxed in the video as he shares the rental price with the host of WhatsUpTenant Rentomojo , an Instagram page known for documenting rental homes in Indian cities. '₹4 lakh, and it's worth it,' he says casually, before walking viewers through his expansive home tucked away in greenery.The home's location may be remote, but its setting is undeniably scenic. Surrounded by rolling hills and trees, the property features a private swimming pool and a compact but well-kept garden. Large windows let in sunlight, and almost every room looks out over the natural surroundings.One detail caught particular attention: a quiet water body visible straight from the bedroom. It's a view that seems designed for still mornings and long evenings.During the tour, the tenant points out that his living room furniture came all the way from Mexico. Every corner of the house reflects the tenant's personal touch—from the open, breezy layout to the imported interiors.As the video gained traction, viewers responded in their own ways—some admiring, others sceptical.'A couple of months' rent will get him land out there no? Where he can build something bigger with a koi pond moat if he wants,' one user commented. The remark summed up a broader sentiment about the cost-benefit balance of renting in such a distant location.Another chimed in, 'Technically that's not Bengaluru,' pointing to the commute from the city centre as a downside. The home's serene location, while charming, raised questions for those who need quicker access to the city's business and social life.Still, plenty were captivated. 'It's Prestige Golfshire near Nandi Hills. I had a chance to see the furnished model apartment a decade ago. Still preserved in my memories,' one user recalled.Others saw it as something to aspire to. 'Every hardworking, intelligent individual deserves this kind of after-work relaxing home,' wrote another.The platform behind the viral clip, WhatsUpTenant Rentomojo, has carved out a niche by sharing unique rental stories from Indian metros. According to its Instagram bio, the page focuses on 'unique house stories, society tours, and more' across Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai.Its popularity lies in its straightforward storytelling. No filters. No real estate jargon. Just a look inside people's rented lives—and, sometimes, the choices that come with them.The video has since sparked broader conversations about where cities end and suburbs begin, what people are willing to pay for solitude, and how personal tastes now shape India's evolving rental market.

International Yoga Day observed in Japan's Toyota City
Bhubaneswar: As India celebrated the International Day of Yoga on Saturday, over 6,000 km away, many Indians and Japanese came together in Japan's Toyota for a three-hour event at the Takahashi Community Centre, featuring an hour of yoga, 25 minutes of pranayama and guided meditation, and 10 minutes of stretching accompanied by music. "We started with the standard yoga protocol designed by the Indian govt, which all teachers are expected to follow. The aim is to make yoga accessible to everyone," said Nivedita Sahu, a yoga instructor. After the yoga session, Japanese artistes performed an Indian semi-classical dance. Their graceful movements to the chant 'Asato Ma Sad Gamaya' and a soulful Rabindranath Tagore song showed their respect for and understanding of Indian culture. Shomon Akita, a Buddhist monk from Guzeiin Temple in Toyota, explained the essence of the Patanjali Yoga Sutra. He also shared insights on the shloka 'Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah', emphasising universal well-being and compassion. A thoughtful and informative presentation by Subha Kokuba Chakraborty highlighted the cultural similarities between India and Japan, exploring shared values such as discipline, inner peace and reverence for tradition. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo She also led the energetic 'stretch with music' session.

'India changed my heart forever': US woman ditches ‘average' American life for something 'bold and extraordinary'
A New Chapter The Business of Living Differently That's the question Kristen Fischer asked herself before taking a life-altering leap. Leaving behind what she called an 'average' but comfortable life in the United States, Fischer moved to India with her husband Tim and their three daughters in 2021. Four years later, she says she has no regrets—only a now-viral video posted to Instagram , Fischer shared the soul-searching moment that spurred her family's move. 'I knew I had control of which direction to take my life. I could choose an average life in the USA, or I could choose to do something bold and extraordinary,' she said. Their decision, as it turns out, became a story of purpose, reinvention, and heartfelt connection with a country they now call settling in India, the Fischers have documented their life through vibrant videos showcasing their cultural explorations, street food trials, small-town joys, and even the emotional journey of adopting a daughter with special needs. 'In these past four years, I have met some amazing people, seen some incredible places, had some awesome food, and changed my heart forever,' she wrote. 'India has changed my life, and I will never be the same.'The couple's content, shared through their joint Instagram page, offers more than just picturesque visuals—it shares a worldview that places meaning over routine, and courage over bold relocation wasn't just emotional; it made practical sense too. In another video, Fischer broke down the financial logic behind their shift to India. She and Tim run a web development agency that serves mostly Western clients. 'We earn in US dollars and spend in Indian rupees,' she explained. 'It's simply easier for someone from the West to move to a place like India, where the cost of living is lower. It allows us to stretch our earnings and grow our business.'Their strategy highlights a growing trend among digital nomads and young families: reimagining lifestyle and work in ways that break the mold of traditional success. 'Plus, we get to live in a country we love. Seems like a win-win to me,' she and Tim Fischer's journey from the suburbs of America to the vibrant chaos and calm of India has resonated with many online. 'You only get one life,' Kristen reminds her audience. 'How will you live it?'
