On a beach in Mumbai, a person is listening to people’s problems with money. He charges Rs 250 for small problems, Rs 500 for serious ones and Rs 1,000 for crying with him. This unique business idea has gone viral on social media.
Often you must have heard people complaining, ‘Oh man, there is no one to listen to us’. Be it women at home or men working in the office, everyone feels like this sometimes. In today’s busy life, people have time to talk, but do not have the patience to listen to others. One person has converted this problem into a business idea. By now you must have heard about a friend or partner on rent, but in India now the business of listening to your sorrow for money has also started. For this reason, the video of a person from Mumbai is making rounds on social media.
Man’s new business on Mumbai beach
Yes, on a beach in Mumbai, a person is ready to listen to people’s personal problems for a fee. In today’s era, time is money. Spent money can be earned back, but not lost time. In such a situation, if someone is giving his precious time to listen to you, then he is also recovering the price for it.
This person named Prithviraj Bohra has started this unique work on the beach of Mumbai. He stands with a board in his hand, on which it is written, ‘If anyone wants to express his grief, I can listen’. Someone who came to the beach made their video and posted it on social media, which has now gone viral. In the video, Prithviraj has also told the rates of his service. He charges Rs 250 for listening to minor problems. If the problem is more serious then they charge Rs 500, and if someone wants to sit and cry with them then they charge Rs 1,000. When he was asked whether people really come by paying money to voice their problems, he replied, ‘Yes, people come and pay also’.
What is people’s reaction?
Prithviraj Bohra, who started this new business, also has an Instagram and YouTube channel. His unique work has sparked a new debate on the growing need for mental health and emotional support in busy cities like Mumbai. Many social media users have praised him for being a ‘listening ear’ to people struggling with loneliness. At the same time, some people raised questions on the idea of taking money for such conversations. However, many people also believe that if someone is giving his valuable time, then there is nothing wrong in taking money. After all, he also has to run his house. What is your opinion about this?
