Hi Mumbai!

My girlfriend and I are visiting the city for the first time this week. She’s a dentist, and we’d love to visit a local practice to exchange experiences.

She’s recently been focusing on positioning/function and works with aligners.

Does anyone know a dentist who’d be open to this?

Mumbai English is so fascinating and different from rest of India. My observations as an outsider. Please don't be offended and keep adding to this list

1. Garden vs Park

What Mumbaikars mean when they say garden is a park. A park is a place to play, with slides and swings etc , an empty space to play cricket. A garden is a place where you tend to plants that you are growing. Came to use probably because Mumbai houses do not have space to have a garden

2. Wafer vs Chips

Lays has potato chips. Wafer are the biscuits which have been sandwiched with cream in between (not cream biscuits, think Duke's)

3. Chain vs Zip

Bags have a zip. Chains are the one made of iron/steel used to tie or link something.

Have you guys faced these too?

Hey there people of Mumbai! I will be shifting to mumbai for a job in the month of April. My office will most likely be in either goregaon or vikhroli. Some of the people that I have contacted say that I can put up in goregaon itself or maybe in andheri.

What do you guys suggest? By budget for rent is 20k. What options do you think I can get in that budget and also which area should I go for?

Me and my friends are going to give our boards this year and they'll be ending on March 1st... Can u suggest some good spaces in Mumbai to go to... Pls try to include places which can be easily accessed with public transport.

I am an online businessman. I don't earn a lot at present but I have this persistent question.

I see all these movies and videos where they show businessmen having powerful connections everywhere. I'm just wondering, in reality, what does it take for a person not in the system to make influential connections. Is it dependent on the money? If yes, what is a good amount of minimum income where these doors open? In other words, how rich do you have to be to have moderately powerful friends like IAS, MLAs, top doctors etc.?

i have 100-120 guests, and wanted a 2-3 day space in mumbai or on the outskirts. i looked at oleander farms and was quoted 30L+ without DJ/decor/alcohol.. i know lots of people in this sub recommend kino cottage but im not sure if its within my budget.

any low budget outdoor venues for 100-120 people capacity under? stay for the guests being included in that price would be preferred. please let me know how much you guys put down too if it’s not too much to ask, i’m so confused and my brain hurts from looking at so many venues.

i’m hoping to get stay for 2-3nights, decor, food, venue, all the regular things please and thank you!

What actions can be taken? We’ve gotten used to not having a proper road for months now but atleast the BMC can let us sleep. It’s driving us insane. Please help!

Hi all, my sister recently got a job in Worli and is figuring out her housing options. She will have to go to the office fairly often and she prefers living alone so she was looking for 1 BHK in Worli, Lower Parel, etc. with a budget of 50-60 k. It seems that 1 BHKs are really hard to find, especially ones that are safe for single women. Any suggestions on how to go about finding one? Both of us are new to Mumbai and I will leave once we find her a place. Do you suggest we find roommates and 2/3 BHK instead?

Please let me know.

An owner in our apartment has two commercial tempos available and parks it in society premises. We already have a very limited parking space and the two tempos hog alot of it. Are commercial vehicles allowed to be parked in society premises? Any bylaw that prohibits or allows it?

As a boy, I often observed while traveling on Mumbai’s local trains, how some men from the general compartment would lock eyes with women in the ladies compartment. The moment a woman realises she's being watched, she would shift her seat to face away from the man, avoiding his gaze.

Two years ago, I found myself on the receiving end of such an experience. One morning, I was waiting at Thane station on platform 9 of the transhararbour line. After getting onto the train, I sat in the first-class compartment by the window, right opposite to the grill that separates the general and ladies sections, it was early morning so both comartments weren't really crowded.

As the train headed towards Airoli, a journey of about 10–12 minutes, I was looking out the window when I suddenly got the feeling that someone was staring at me. I glanced to my right and saw a an office going woman, standing in the ladies compartment, looking directly at me. At first, I thought she might be looking behind me, but when I turned to check behind me, I realized she was indeed staring at me.

I decided to ignore it and went back to looking outside. A minute later, I glanced back and caught her gaze again. This time, she quickly looked down at her phone and smiled. It happened repeatedly she would look at me, notice me looking back, and then smile before looking away. The entire exchange left me feeling uneasy. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling.

Uncomfortable, I got up and moved near the door. Even then, catching her looking my way multiple times. When my stop arrived, I got off the train and went on with my day. The point of this post is that staring only works if the perrson you're looking at likes you, otherwise it just gives them an uneasy feeling.

Please share your experience

I have still not been raped. This thought occurs to me often.

I am only going to speak for myself. Really sucks that I have to have this at the back of mind somewhere, ALL THE TIME. I see the look into my dad’s eyes when he has to be cool and let me go out at night. It hurts.

I cannot imagine what the women who have been raped go through.. What a life to have to live.

I have been manipulated into having sex so many times. (yay, gonna have my DMs flooded) and it still haunts me a decade later.

Fuck this. I also consider getting married for this reason.

Hi, does anyone know any good dance classes in Matunga area. I am looking for thrice/ four times a week type plans. I am trained in Kathak but dont mind learning a new dance form as well.

I am diagnosed with borderline depression and really need an activity to keep myself occupied after work hours, any leads would really mean a lot ❤️

I am 25m, me and my friend has decided to invest some of our early money in a land in one of the Mumbai 3.0 project. The land is in Vidhane, Waltikhar, Maharashtra, which is around half hour drive from Atal Setu. We are getting around 4K sq.ft (4 guntha) NA plot for around 24l. But the catch is, there is a 40% ownership from CIDCO. Is it really worth it to invest in this piece of land? Also, will I be able to sell it off or do I need to get permission from CIDCO, I am skeptical to invest such a huge amount as it is just the start of my career. What are your suggestions, pros and cons of buying land in Mumbai 3.0 ?

Thanks in advance

Can anyone suggest good therapists in the vicinity of these regions? Can try a bit further if recco is great

I am fine with online sessions but will prefer offline meetups. Budget - 2k

Looking for genuine suggestions as I think things are getting out of control for me on multiple fronts and there is only so much family can do to help you out. (Don't really have friends)

Thanks!
