Hi all,

can anyone suggest good hotel stay. Either in Andheri West or in Santa Cruz under Rs: 6000

Thanks.

I have seen that flyover stay the way it is for the past 2-3 years I believe, does anyone know what it is and where is it meant to go?

It's parallel to line 6

So to preface with, my qualifications is I recently finished a bachelors in chemistry (3 years). Now my problem is, I actually didn't have any passion or interest in Chemistry. I was rather peer/family pressured into going for Chemistry and it showed in my grades (I got a poor 7.8 GPA) and I want to move away from it, pursue a career/study path that's not related to Chemistry yet at the same time I don't know what or how to find out what it is I would like to do or something that would earn well. Where can I find good career guidance?

Hello! My husband is going to be in Mumbai for a business trip and our baby and I will be joining for (at least) the first 2 months. We'll be coming from the UK. I'm worried about figuring out what to do with the baby while he's at work!

During the week here, I take the baby to a lot of like... baby sensory, music, and swimming classes. How do I find these in Mumbai? I'm not having much luck googling!

Are things like baby play cafes common?

Are there nice parks that are good for crawling babies? Or is it better to spend time indoors because of the heat/sun?

Or any other tips please!! Thank you for anything/everything!!!

So I live in a 1bhk in an old building in Goregaon on my own. I brought my own washing machine and fridge to this house. After 10 months of living here the landlord called and asked if he could keep his old fridge here as he’s getting a new one in his house. After some hesitation I said yes because the hall area is empty and he mentioned that it was in working condition and I could use it too. Now two days ago I plugged it in to switch it on so I could keep my stuff in it. I took a nap after this and when I woke up my entire house was filled with smoke and the lights were gone. I unplugged all the things in the house. I called the electrician and he came and fixed the lights but couldn’t figure out where the smoke came from. Today when I opened the fridge again to switch it on, it was all black on the inside and some parts melted.

Idk what to do now, should I tell the owner? Or should I just let it be till I move out and get my deposit

For some reason I’m shit scared of my owner, he’s not a very nice guy😭

Hey everyone, just please read this

(24M) here who completed my graduation in Mass Media back in 2021 from Mumbai. After finishing my BMM, I worked for two years in a digital marketing agency, initially as an intern and later as a Video Editor cum graphic designer, although my skills in that area were minimal. My initial plan was to gain some work experience and then pursue a master's degree. However, seeing many people struggling even after obtaining an MBA has left me feeling uncertain.

I'm torn between pursuing further education and exploring alternative career paths. While I'm interested in digital marketing, I'm also open to considering other fields. I feel lost and overwhelmed, especially since I'm not motivated to study for competitive exams. My family's expectations weigh heavily on me, and I'm eager to find a direction in life.

If anyone has been through a similar situation or has advice on career opportunities outside of MBA or digital marketing, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Additionally, if you know of any success stories or resources that could guide me through this stage of my life, please share them.

Thank you for any help or guidance you can provide. It means a lot to me during this uncertain time.

Hey guys, I am 24F and I've gone past reaching out everyone I know/online resources to seek a good therapist. I did find a great one but they charge A LOT (2.5k per session) and considering i would be paying them on my own - it's absolutely an unsustainable choice, and I know I will need more than just a couple of sessions to sort myself out.

Feel free to DM me if any leads.

Hello Mumbaikars! Where can I traditional Goan Bakery Products like Poie, Buns, Bolingos etc?

Some context: I grew up in Bangalore and moved to Mumbai for my degree. I’ve completed my course and want to pursue advertising. I love Mumbai and it’s fast paced work culture but the cost of living is way too high. At Bangalore I would love rent free with parents (and my parents are very relaxed and aren’t strict either) but I desperately want to live alone. Which city is a better place to be in in your early 20s?

Does anybody know where I can donate 7th grade textbooks ?

##FYI: These are state board textbooks.

Three years ago, I landed in Mumbai with just a single bag, a whirlwind of emotions (mostly anxiety), and a new job that demanded a lightning-fast relocation (thanks, boss!). Fresh off the train from Delhi, I was a stranger in a strange land - no friends, no plan, and armed with only the warnings about this city's notorious dent on your wallet (which, let's be honest, turned out to be true lmao).

Finding an apartment was a whole anxiety in itself, but with a helping hand from a colleague (my bestest friend, now), I found my footing. The first year was a blur of familiar faces from Delhi, virtual lifelines on Discord who became my besties over countless beers, and a slow, sweet awakening to the magic of Mumbai.

This city...it's like a drug, the best kind. I fell in love with everything - the energy, the chaos, the beauty. Mumbai gave me what I'd always wanted: a chosen family, an expanded queer fam, my baby cat, and countless experiences.

But now I have to say goodbye. Bangalore awaits, and while I know it has its charm (been there, done that - the good, the chaotic), nothing compares to Mumbai. It's my safe space, my party, my haven of peace, and my love.

I can still remember the crush of bodies as I squeezed onto a local train down to CST, the salty air thick with sweat and humanity, I knew I'd found my home. A home I'll carry with me wherever I go, a home I know I'll return to someday.

Anyone else who found their chosen family in this incredible city? What are your favorite things about Mumbai? Also, Bangalore folks, any tips for a Mumbai transplant feeling the blues?

My house helper hasn't been paid (20k) by another family whom she worked for in the past. They weren't paying her after repeated requests and the lady (house owner) also slapped her for some reason after which she stopped working from them. The initial amount was around 40-50k, out of which they paid her some amount.

Before this, during lockdown she had loaned around 1 lakh to them (I know this sounds crazy but it's true). They returned this amount to her after a long time after she practically begged them to.

Now they've accused her of stealing in their house and complained in the society aiming to stop her from entering the society. However, she works at several houses in the society and these people supported due to which the society allowed her to work with the condition that she doesn't go to the accuser's place.

I feel these people are beyond reason and there's no point in having a civil conversation with them. She says she had warned them of going to the police but they just laughed it off. I thought of paying her the amount myself, but I feel she won't accept it.

To give some background about the house helper, she has been working at my place for the past 12+ years. We trust her to the extent that we leave the key with her whenever we are away for a long time to water the plants and manage the house.

Would request you'll to provide possible solutions to this.

P.S.- I live in one of the most high end societies in my area in case anyone has the thought of the family being in a bad financial condition. They lived in a pent house and have 2+ cars.

Hi all,

I am looking for 3 females who wanna share a place (probably 2BHK apartment). The area would be in South Mumbai, preferably around Churchgate and Fort Area. I would be starting my college in June and would love if you or someone you know would be comfortable in finding a place together. Thanks!

So I have a package stuck at this place because of pathetic horrible service of the delivery partner and I have no clue how do I convey my concern to these shitheads as there's no direct way to contact them or get to them. So if anyone knows or lives in Santacruz and might have come across a similar situation please help me with an address or a contact whatever!

Thanks

Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask, if there are there any good hair salons that do haircuts and color for ladies at a decent price. Please do let me know, I am looking to get my hair done but haven’t found much luck finding good ones in the andheri, vile parle area.

What’s up peeps! Just wanted to share something that happened today that made me happy.

This happened during the evening hours. I was at a vendor’s stall to enjoy some delicious bhel and pani puris. As the vendor was preparing the dish, someone knocked over his packaging material which fell on the road. I could see the restlessness in him to desperately pick up at the boxes which were scattered all over while he was preparing the food. Suddenly I helped him pick up all his boxes and he had that look of relief on his face. He nodded his head with a sense of gratefulness which really made me happy from within.

A little act of kindness made that vendor smile after a long day of hard work and made me happy as well. Just wanted to share this and remind you that such small gestures can make someone’s day, so maybe give it a try today and help someone in need!😁

Do we have separate rent agreements for flat and PG and does the rent agreement specify some kind of time and person restrictions (male/female). I'm just trying to know the procedure. I may sound novice.

I’ll go first… I was getting into an uber in kurla, and the first thing the guy said to me was “Accha Hai aap Mu$lim Nahi Ho” I was like wtf??? in my head but was too afraid to say anything. Then he kept ranting about how their motive is to produce babies and convert people, so then I told him I don’t agree with what he’s saying, and what he’s saying is hateful and a part of the brainwashing that’s done to us to arise conflict. He then said “Aap aapka maano mai toh dhur rahuga”. Then I ignored him and it was quiet for a few minutes. He then stopped in the middle of the road, so i thought he needed to use the washroom or something. He then came at the back seat and started talking to me. (I was wearing shorts so I was extremely uncomfortable and also FUCKING CONFUSED???) I was like i’m getting late, he’s like I wanted to discuss this properly and also take a photo with you. So I was you don’t need to come behind to discuss u can talk and drive. He then started fumbling and saying he wanted a selfie, I was so scared, I didn’t reply. He then started moving close to me moving the pillows and stuff in between. I GOT SO SCARED I ran out of the cab and took another taxi. Didn’t even turn around 😭

(PS- This doesn’t have anything to do with religion i’m not hating on any religion, I’m just trying to tell u the context and show how aggressive and what a hater he was. i’m a H!ndu an I love god, and I also respect all other religions)
