Hello Everyone

My grandmother is critical and in coma, and due to non availability of support we are planning to keep her in the Rehabilitation center where we can keep her so that she gets proper care.

If anyone has any suggestions or reference please tell

I need it near Kandivali Borivali,

Please help.

Visiting Mumbai and Navi Mumbai after several years. Which are the best seafood restaurants? List as many as you can - willing to travel far for good food - just not into the Arabian Sea!! 😄 TIA.

Garba season in Mumbai hits different when you're sitting at home 🫠

I keep scrolling through Insta stories of people with their huge friend groups and classmates posting with their boyfriends all in matching outfits and I'm just here in my room with barely 2 friends feeling so lonely

I miss being a kid when I could walk up to any random group and join in and nobody would judge me when did that stop being possible

Now it feels so fucking scary to even ask someone if I can join and even if they say yes I'm scared I'll get the steps wrong and get kicked out

And what is this pass thing why do I have to pay 500-1000 rupees just to dance at a place 2 hours away can't I just dance for free

I don't know yaar it just feels so weird

Am I the only one who feels like this?

Hi, I’m looking for 1 Bhk flat in dahisar or borivali on rent. My budget is 25-27k/month. East west doesn’t matter, just the locality and basic facility like water availability should be decent.

I moved from Thane to Andheri a few months back, Vasant Oasis Marol to be precise so I can be closer to my office and save a few hours and city flo travel cost.

The auto for 1.3 Kms within Andheri East costs me average Rs. 100-110 one way because at no point in time, Monday to Sunday 8AM to 12 midnight does an auto agree to go by the meter.

Mumbaikars used to be so proud about the fact that you don't need to haggle with autos here and that they run on meters.

What happened to that?

My wife, a flight attendant of 10 years have put down her papers and is currently looking for a job.

If anybody can help find us find a good job that'd be really great.

Her notice period ends on 3rd november.

I am a non mumbai girl shifted to mumbai last month because I got a job here. I take the ladies compartment on the Mumbai local. one day I got into an argument with a girl. she was accusing me of not staying still and that I am constantly pushing her (you all would be knowing how crowded it is inside). after few minutes she started swearing at me. I couldn't even belive what all she was calling me. I was in shock. I wasn't expecting such a behaviour from a girl who looks almost my age. Luckily her stop came and she got down.

Few days later again we met in the same compartment. She stood next to me (I think on purpose) and pushed me. I asked her what are you doing and she said this is what you were doing few days back. I politely told her that I am not in the mood for arguments and please stop. nothing else was said and I thought it's done. but after few minutes she started again. I got really mad and I pushed her back. She started swearing (this time I did too) and this time we both were pushing each other with both our hands. Other ladies intervened and separated us.

Has anyone else had such an incident and how to deal with it ?

Saw the reports about Ujwal Nikam meeting the RSS chief and it reminded me that Prahaar is also coming up

Whatever people make of the meeting, the 26/11 case is such a significant part of Nikam's career. We all remember the attacks and Kasab being caught but I feel the actual legal proceedings that went on for years aren't discussed nearly as much

Would be interesting to see how much of that side the movie explores. There's genuinely a lot of material there beyond the usual courtroom drama

wanted to stroll around mumbai from midnight to maybe 8 in the morning because my roommate is bringing his girl over and since we live in a studio i thought i’ll give him the privacy because he has done the same for me, what can i do the entire night with another friend, dont mind spending some money

Number one mistake I made was deciding to go to mumbai for salary less than 40k. Trust me you wont be able to live there for so low salary. Many people told me that in the beginning of our career, you should not care about salary that much should focus on learning. That is why I went, but I shouldn’t have gone. My salary was like 26k. Funnily enough salary was actually 13 company it by 4 and we could not do anything about it because we were graduate

Number 2 is don’t come to Mumbai. You don’t want to commute three hours every day in then it is just a hassle. So mostly it come down to where is your office location if it is in very costly areas like Ghatkopar, then it is better to not take that job opportunity, but if it is in very cheap areas where Rent is less like Virar, then it is better to take the job opportunity

I'm laid off from my company cause the company isn't making any profit the department. Lot of things are going on in my head rn and I've no idea what should I do.
I had clear plan to build my small business which I built and launched but it's not full fledged rn. Before I could do anything good I'm laid off. Now I have to find job and I've absolutely no motivation to find another job cause of salary people offering its too low. I don't have any major financial responsibilities but I don't want to depend on my mother. I have savings for like 2-3 months. Which can burn early depending on how much I spend in my business. My business is 80% setup but I still have to start posting on social media platforms to get sales.
I'm worried if i get bad job which eats up most of my time and I wouldn't be able to give time for my business. I don't share about my business with employer but I think I should communicate that I'm not okay with late sitting?? But that would significantly lower my chances to get the job? I have to do job because otherwise how am gonna do my business? Should business be my priority but it's not prove yet it'll pay my bills. Off course I can do job but I'm absolutely not happy. I wish I could find a work which is doing so much ai in different areas of business cause I've absolutely no desire and motivation to work in my current profile which is of a 3d generalist and there are almost no jobs for it or very low pay.
Could someone please guide me a bit? I'm 28f if that matters. I already have changed careers due to my struggling past and now I've no idea what career to pursue till the time my business is good enough to pay bills.

Hi guys, I’m looking for a good dermatologist who specialises in hair issues.

I’ve been experiencing hair thinning for the past few years ever since I moved to Mumbai. I’ve tried a lot of products but nothing seems to grow my hair beyond shoulder length. And the hairfall and frizz is just constant. I’d like to consult someone who can actually diagnose the underlying cause rather than just prescribe random products.

Please recommend dermatologists you’ve personally visited and had a good experience with. Bonus points if they’re not the kind to push unnecessary treatments or expensive products.

Thanks in advance.

First came here back in 2019 for a two-month summer internship. Stayed in Wadala while commuting all the way to Andheri every day. Navigating local trains and insane road traffic should have scared me away, but somewhere I fell head over heels for this place.

Fast forward to 2022: Being in tech, landing a solid gig in Mumbai instead of Bangalore or Hyderabad wasn't the easiest choice or path, but I manifested it hard purely because I wanted to live here. And it actually happened.

Now, after getting hit by layoffs, I'm heading to Bangalore next week. I have about seven days left here, and honestly I can’t feel anything but sad. My heart is heavy and I feel there is a sinking hole in my gut!!

I know Mumbai has a thousand glaring flaws, the rents, the infrastructure struggles, the constant grind. People joke that fewer outsiders are a blessing for the crowd, but standing on the edge of leaving, all I can feel is heavy.

I’m genuinely going to miss it all. Late night sits at Marine Drive, driving through the Sea Link with the windows down, the amazing food across Bandra West, Walking around BKC when it looks like a completely different country (my office was in BKC), the beautiful Mumbai monsoon… everything.. But above all, the people. In all these years, not once did anyone make me feel like an outsider. There’s an unsaid and instant warmth here in the people that you just don't get anywhere else.

Goodbye, Mumbai. You’ve been home in the truest sense. Really hoping life finds a way to bring me back soon.

Hey guys, as the title says, I would like to know where you guys have the best sushi in Mumbai. Something in the range of ₹2000 - ₹3000 for two people.

I have a job offer in Dubai, so I need my passport changed from ECR to non-ECR. HR wants this done before they apply for my visa.

What happened at the Malad (East) PSK today:

• I applied for a Tatkaal reissue (ECR deletion) with no change of name or address.
• My Non-ECR proof was the income tax payer category: ITR acknowledgement, 143(1) intimation and PAN. All of them show the same name as my passport.
• The officer said Tatkaal doesn’t accept ITR as Non-ECR proof. I believe the application is now on hold.

The spelling problem (middle name, two letters swapped):

• Passport, PAN, ITR, birth certificate and my father’s name: XXXXeaX
• 10th certificate, Mumbai University degree and Aadhaar: XXXXaeX

So I can’t use my educational certificates as the ECR proof without a mismatch. The officer said I’d need a gazette and a newspaper notice (XXXXaeX to XXXXeaX), and that a gazette or name-change case can’t go through Tatkaal.

My questions:

1. Has anyone had an on-hold Tatkaal application converted to Normal? Did the ARN and fee carry over?
2. Does a Normal reissue accept ITR plus PAN as Non-ECR proof? Has anyone done ECR removal this way recently in Mumbai?
3. How long are Normal reissues taking at Mumbai RPO right now?
4. For anyone who has done a Maharashtra gazette name correction: how long did publication take, and were the newspaper notices required?
5. Is meeting the APO at the RPO worth it in a case like this?
6. Any experience with eMigrate clearance on an ECR passport for a UAE job, as an alternative?

Any advice is appreciated, as my start date is getting pushed.

Are there any watch making or horology workshops which happen in Mumbai? I'm a watch enthusiast and wanted to attend one.

So my maternal uncle has a few blockages in his coronaries.
His LAD is completely blocked. Lcx has 2 blockages one 80 percent and one with 90 percent. Right Coronary has 50 percent block.
We need to get his bypass surgery done as soon as possible
Please recommend me doctors

Don't want to waste money on cheap plastic ones, looking for a blunt carbon steel ones like punjabi folks keep with them, but a bit fancy one

I'm taking my dad for dinner. Non veg is preferred. Budget around 3k-5k. Location - Byculla to Matunga little flexible if it's worth it. Recommendations are appreciated.

I live near Crawford Market, and anyone who’s been here knows the area is packed with wholesale shops, godowns, and loading activity from morning to night. The haathgadis are part of how goods move, but they’ve also become one of the biggest causes of traffic chaos.

The first problem is that they don’t follow any traffic rules. They go the wrong way, cut across lanes, and stop wherever they want. And since a single cart often has 6–7 handlers pushing and pulling it, they end up taking almost half the road. Cars, bikes, and buses all get squeezed into what’s left, and the whole street slows down.

The second problem is road damage. These haathgaadis carry very heavy loads and when one gets stuck on the road the weight concentrated on one spot ends up damaging the surface and creating potholes. Those potholes then slow traffic even more and become a hazard for two wheelers.

Has anyone seen this handled well in other parts of Mumbai or other cities?

Same as title

Guys, I need a really good barber who I can trust with good haircuts and style recs. I hate bad haircuts and my budget is 500 rupees for a haircut. Would really appreciate good recs for experienced, talented and hygienic places.

I have been exploring coworking spaces to work out of and can do focused deep work for hours.

Unfortunately the options I explored so far have been taken over by the sales team people who are just cold calling all the time. They are constantly on the phone, loudly talking with no regard for others working next to them.

I used to work out of WeWork at Nariman Point & Worli. They both had dedicated quiet zones that made a huge difference. It was a bummer for me to learn that no such thing exists in WeWork Andheri spaces.

I’m reaching out to the community to see if there any other options.
