    Help a Newbie - Budget Living

    Hi Mumbai folks!

    I'm moving to Mumbai for an internship at Lodha Supremus, Lower Parel. I’m looking for PGs or flat-sharing options within a 15-minute walking distance from this location. My budget is ₹12,000.

    I’ve already checked MagicBricks, 99acres, OLX and Housing, but either owners don’t respond, or nothing fits. I prefer to avoid traveling long distances (local trains aren’t my thing). Since I’m funding this myself, I’d like to keep the budget strict.

    If you know anyone renting a place or have any leads, please help! Any tips are also appreciated.

    Thank you in advance! 🙏

    WEIRDEST LOCAL STATION INTERACTION - Trauma for life!!

    I was at the Marine Lines platform 3 yesterday afternoon waiting for the Virar fast to go to Mumbai Central.

    This guy around the same age as me (21ish), he stands beside me and says "garmi bohot hogyi hai an" (its getting hot, isn't it?), i just nod, he unbuttons his shirt's third button and in the corner of my eye i see a red thingy under his shirt, then he unbuttons another button and spreads his open collar around,

    I see HE IS WEARING A BRA. the typical red lacey you know sunny leone types.

    The second I noticed I looked back straight at the platform, then he says "Kabhi dekha nahi hai bra?", I said "Dekha hai but you know kisi ladke pe nhi", Then he came close and whispered " I'm actually Bisexual"

    I was like "Good for you, Bhai" then I couldn't stop my brain and cracked a small joke, saying, "Actually, Good for you, Bi, B-i ". He took it as an invitation to start conversing with me, he's like " seriously, kisi see ladke ko bra pehente hue nahi dekha?" . I was like Nope.

    Then he goes, "My friends wear it too", I was like "Coool" , Then I was sure ki this is one of them youtube pranks so I asked him "Where's the camera? Is this like a prank?" He said No, I looked around i couldn't spot one fr.

    He then starts showing the bra off to me, offers me to touch it to see how it feels, then the in the most horrifying moment he opened it and showed me his nipple.

    I was TRAUMATISED!!

    This guy then is like, my friends suck on it and i suck theirs.

    I wanted to either kill myself or end this topic but I was waiting and couldn't move it was peak time I didn't wanna miss the train coming. So i switch the topic and ask him where he is going, he says Jogeshwari, I told him this one is a fast train, it wont stop and he wont be able to get off at Andheri because of the office 5PM crowd.

    He sincerely asked what train he should take from what platform - I said upar jao and check on the screens where its 12B slow or even 12V slow.

    and just like that as he came

    He Left

    I don't know what just happened to me, just wanted to share it somewhere before I forget about it. (but I doubt if I ever will)

    BC mere saath ye abhi kya hua?

    that one creepy hand at a concert

    venting.

    so went to this concert few weeks ago, even amidst the extreme mumbai heat it was especially during that particular day i still chose to wear a denim jacket on a decent looking top and a normal pair of jeans ( no distress or oddly cut) just a normal straight fit jeans which is neither too tight nor loose with an attempt of looking as modest as possible! it was almost evening and didn't want any sort of wrong intention come my way

    as i entered i joined some of my friends and stood in a place surrounded by girls (as i should) and it was near the stage, not too far were bouncers and armed forces too!

    i felt a hand around my waist but chose to ignore it as concerts tend to be a bit touchy until the show actually gets started to till people are settled at their places

    the second time the touch became more like a hold so looked around but as there were few men behind me by now and no body looking at me straight made me more unsure to know who the person actually was so that either i could confront him or move away from that very person

    by the third time he had a strong grip over my body, when i took out my phone to record the concert the hands almost went under my top, he constantly had me groped and rubbed around the waist down despite trying hard removing his hand multiple times it just won't stop

    i even tried moving, multiple attempts to get hold of his hands to confront with trembling voice or keeping my bag as a defense nothing worked so i gathered some courage to atleast tell my friends to leave the concert at it's peak and gave reasons like the pg gate would be closed and i am getting calls from my parents etcetera they were obligated to come with me as i didn't wanted to attend the concert at the first place and after their continuous persuasion i chose to go

    the hands really controlled my movements almost all the time and somehow by struggling for the way out I felt at ease. while talking to my friends regarding this and expecting a similar response/experience it was the opposite - none of my friends felt any sort of inappropriate touch at any moment and they all were really enjoying the event after a while some more couple of girls i was surrounded by came and i asked them about their experience even they felt very safe the whole time and no body was sexually touched

    (the words from here might be odd but not the intent)

    i definitely didn't have the intentions of them being harmed but the fact that only i went through it and no one in the entire group faced a similar experience was quite shocking!

    why would someone lay hands on a random constantly resisting female instead of just finding a 'different prey' ?

    also complaining on that person is definitely not easy, the police forces even if wanted to couldn't help as i had no idea how the person actually looked, none of the girls i was surrounded by felt any of that sort and the ground didn't really had adequate security cameras to capture such an incident even.

    Please help me with hotel recommendations around Mumbai airport T2

    I'm traveling with my girlfriend. And we have a connecting flight in mumbai and I need to stay for 2 nights preferably near airport. My budget is around 100$ for 2 nights. I was looking at all the hotels in this price range and they all seem to be a scam with bought reviews and terrible rooms. I'm lost after 3 hours of searching...

    What to do after 12th?

    So my cousin is currently in 12th Maharashtra HSC board in commerce field, Mithibai college. He wants to know what he should do after 12th. He is thinking of doing BAF or BMS from the same college. But wants to know which one.

    He don't want to do any professional course currently. So which graduation course he should do?

    Out of those 2 Or anythiny other. Since he is also thinking of maybe doing mba after graduation,are there good bba colleges with good name near the Area. Like in Western line. Or even central line for the matter. Just in case if he won't do anything further after graduation and want to do job, what would be packages for BAF, BMS or others?

    Travel layover situation

    Hi,

    I know this is not exactly related to Mumbai but I've seen such kind of questions posted here, so I'm posting it here.

    I'm traveling from London to Mumbai via Dubai through Emirates. The flight involves change of planes with a long layover in Dubai. I've a valid US B1/B2 visa. I've checked online, Indian citizens with a valid US visa can get a visa on arrival in Dubai. The journey only involves change of planes and no change in terminal. I've the following doubts:-

    1. Do I need visa on arrival for this particular situation?

    2. What about luggage? Do I need to check in again?

    This is my first time in such a situation, so I'm a bit confused. I'd be thankful if fellow travelers can guide me if they have any idea about this scenario.

    My last plight before I succumb to my own will

    My life has been absolutely mired down, thanks to a myriad problems gulping me down like quicksand. I stood out as a prodigy as a child, playing several musical instruments, verbalising sublime expressions of the mind, memorising large pieces of texts and scriptural chants and acing all academics, especially Science and Math (solving calculus at blazing speed); my work recognised by even Cambridge and Microsoft. Everyone who knew me, including myself believed I'd make something substantial out of this potential. My goals and dreams spanned across continents, imagining myself tossing my graduation hat on a foreign soil.

    It's all ruined. My trauma and abuse took all of it away. I've lost my personality, my piercing intellect and whatever I used to be, it's no worse than getting lobotomized. It's like being the same being but in a different mind, a dumb one, that coupled with an extremely toxic family is strangulating me. I've visited multiple docs, from psych to neuros, popping SSRIs everyday, but nothing works. I've ruled out all logical possibilities of me getting better; wouldn't it be better if I let go of this body now, than living a crippled life, stripped of my identity and true potential rather than living like an anhedonic zombie?

    My family, acting completely oblivious to my suffering is pushing me to work, and I too think making a few bucks before I depart would be of great help for them as well as for my last rites. Leaving my great ambitions I once held, and swallowing all my pride like poison, I'm desperately seeking a job in IT (since I majored it) to aid my family's precarious financial condition. I'll literally work for a few thousand rupees or even free if you're take care of my travelling expenses, willing to work anywhere in Mumbai/Navi-Mumbai.

    Also, I've said this in my previous post and I shall repeat that don't try to convince to act otherwise. A life of mediocrity and struggle doesn't seem enticing enough to live for against the eternal peace awaiting on the other side. Any leads would be appreciated.

    Edit 1: Do checkout my previous post for better context, so you understand what I'm stuck in rn. I'm 21 M for people who're asking.

    Edit 2: I'm not autistic, and highly extroverted.

    Alright folks what would you do: Quitting your full time for for an internship edition

    Aight, so I'm working for this magazine right, I'm doing ad sales. Ive been doing media sales for like 2.5 years now post grad. And to be very Frank, I do not like it a bit. Given an option between waking up everyday to a lady yelling her lungs at me asking for revenue, and being thrown off a running train, I'm gonna choose the latter. So anyway point established, I am not happy. Now I've always had a passion for music, I am a singer and music industry is something I've always been curious about. So, an opportunity popped up recently to intern at this music label for 6 months with chances of confirmation if they like your work. This label is one of the biggest in the world alright. I'm thinking hey, what a good opportunity! But also hey, what a hugeeee risk. I mean I'd be quitting my despicable yet salaried job for this, plus I'm in my late twenties so I'm gonna be old (this is secondary fear but still relevant) (also a very Chandler bing quitting his job for an ad agency scenario). So given a chance to pursue something you are actually passionate about, would you! Would you?

    Major Traffic at Bandra Worli Sea Link

    Hi can anyone tell me why there is complete traffic jam at the sea link from start to end. That too what ideally should be the "less traffic" route compared to going from SoBo to Subrubs at this hour. There is a Maroon5 Concert, but it cannot be this bad for sure.

    I am tired of paying fines in Mumbai

    What the fuck is with this city, man. Why are there some bridges meant ONLY for cars??

    I paid 500 Rs. fine the first time i went on that BKC flyover with my bike and the pandus were waiting with garlands to welcome me on the other side. My mistake, was navigating on phone, 4-wheeler route was on, should have checked.

    But then i also got mad that something like this should have been PROMINENTLY displayed before the flyover starts. It in-fact was, but how easily readable that info is (it's a list of 3 types of vehicles) may be debated. Again, my bad, should have seen the board which is right on top of the bridge entry.

    Yesterday, i went from Chembur to Churchgate and took the Eastern Freeway and the same fucking type of bridge is there, and this time I'd selected the bike route and still climbed the bridge (because it literally runs parallel to the road below meant for us poors) - not noticing the small fucking board which is placed 50-80 feet before the bridge all the way to the left.

    AND THIS TIME THEY FINED ME 1500 Rs. ???

    What the fuck yaar.

    I want to contest this fine and i know it's a stupid venture because the state will always win but please can someone atleast provide some consolation 😭

    This is stupid, man. Aai cha bhok.

    End rant.
