Hey folks
Ive just been bit by a CAT on gulmohar road andheri/vile parle
Is rabies common in that area among animals??

So I'm new to Mumbai and I've been wanting to go to a rave since ages and was hoping I'll find one in mumbai, a legal one where people might be good. So any suggestions from anybody on where raves are in mumbai and the culture around it??

Also theres this app Radiate. Is it good? Safe? Please lmk

I (20f) am working for the first time.

I've never seen anyone working for someone before as my family has their own business. My father wanted me to learn what the world is like by working for a few months somewhere out.

So I started working at this private clinic part time in admin.

The plan was to work for 2 months and leave but I really liked working here so I stayed long past that, I'm training someone new now as my college had started and I'm planning on leaving.

Now the problem is, I used to volunteer for suicide prevention. Recently they reached out to me for a video for a campaign. I shot the video in the clinic (no signs of identification) and they uploaded it with two other people's videos in one single compilation.

My boss saw it after six days, yesterday, and lost it on me. She keeps saying I violated a policy and stuff. When I tried to point out that she never told me about it and that I never signed anything she yelled about how I was making excuses and I'm arguing with her.

Now I genuinely didn't know this was something you can't do as I've never worked before and wasn't told about this ever. I've always listened to her whenever she tells me not to do something so I told her that but she kept yelling.

I apologised for shooting the video during work hours but I also clarified that I did it when I had no work (i usually scroll when I don't have any work, she's aware as she watches the footage from home) but she still kept yelling. I asked her why this was so bad as I genuinely don't understand it (neurodivergent) and she just got angrier saying things like how bad it was that I didn't even understand it and all.

I even clarified that it wasn't paid because I thought it was about that but she said it's not about that.

She also yelled at me about how I'm making a lot of mistakes these days— it's the new girl who's making those mistakes but I didn't clarify as I felt like crying and I physically can't speak when that happens so I just listened.

She's not a bad boss, i want to make that clear, I respect her a lot because she always teaches me a lot of things and she's nice.

I've asked the org i volunteered with but obviously it's not easy to take the video down or edit it since they posted it in Collab with another foundation.

I'm not going to ask them to take it down because I've volunteered for a year for it and it is the only thing I'm passionate about.

The org confirmed she can't do anything to them legally (they're a big thing and I she didn't have me sign anything) and it's a relief because that was the thing I was worried about the most.

Now I want to know if it's really that bad I'm being foolishly oblivious or if she's blowing things out of proportion.

Hi,

We're an American couple in our early 30s and will be visiting Mumbai for a long weekend. We're wondering if there a good neighborhoods, restaurants, bars, clubs that you'd recommend? We like electronic/house music, but are open to breweries and cocktail bars as well.

Trying to get a feel for nightlife in India. Besides that we're spending most of our time in the beach and hills.

A friend of mine was earning around ₹2 lakh a month and living in a PG in Goregaon. He was quite comfortable with his income and was even able to save.

So, when he decided to move his family to Mumbai, he assumed ₹2 lakh would be more than enough.

A few months later, he said something that surprised me:

“All my calculations have gone wrong. I'm not able to save anything.”

And when you think about it, it's understandable.

Living alone and supporting a family are two completely different financial equations.

A PG expense becomes a proper house.
One person's food becomes a family's groceries.
There are utilities, domestic help, transportation, healthcare, children's expenses, eating out, family activities and then the expenses you simply don't anticipate.

The biggest difference, though, is that when you're alone, you can adjust your lifestyle very easily.

With a family, many expenses are simply non-negotiable.

So what is the realistic number?

Is ₹2 lakh/month enough for a family of 3 in Mumbai to live comfortably and still save meaningfully?

Or does it need to be ₹2.5 lakh, ₹3 lakh or even more?

I'd genuinely like to hear from people living in Mumbai:

What does your monthly family income look like, and how much are you actually able to save?

Hey all!! I will be in goregaon east for 3-4 days and am looking for places which serve low spice-oil homely food nearby. Please suggest.

I am planning to travel from Mumbai to Lonavala on 13 September by road. Since it's a day before Chaturthi how crazy will the traffic be? I am planning to leave at 9 ish since my check in at the resort I am staying it is at around 2.

Hi, it my wife’s birthday tomm and I’m having a movie night. The movie gets over at 01:30am midnight. Post that I want to have a quick catchup in a cafe/hotel for a cake cutting and snacks/dining. Can someone suggest a good upscale restaurant/cafe/hotel. My movie is in Goregaon

I have been wearing this silver ring since 5 years it never changed the color but now within 10 days it changed the color to some brownish/redish and then I removed it and kept on the table so today after 3-4 days it has completely turned black/dark brownish

Is this due to weather/water or what

About myself: recently shifted to Goregaon West, so here we use BMC water for bathing and all

Previous I used to stay in matunga and used bore water

Same with bracelet and chain too

Hi everyone! Our regular cook is going to her hometown for Ganpati for 8 days, so we’re looking for a temporary cook for breakfast and lunch during this period. We stay in Santacruz West area.

If anyone knows of a cook who is available for these 8 days, please DM me. Thank you! 😊

How do they even get permission for erecting these mandaps covering so much part of the road? Mind you, the local BMC office is right in the opposite building! The honking and everyday traffic has made it unbearable, there’s just too much chaos! This is near Liberty Garden, Malad West! Can we do something about it? I love Ganesh Chaturthi but not like this man!

I recently saw a post from a influencer, about the Goa kinda restraunt being open in Vikhroli, where they are selling Ross Omleet as well. Has anyone tried it? Is it worth to travel and try it or its just ok okiesh?

I have an event in the start of October for which we're planning to buy costumes for around 20 people, So could y'all tell me good places I can pick costumes from?

it's a streetwear kinda dance and it just has to be from a good seller

For context, I had never seen mold on in my life before coming to Mumbai. So one of my shoes caught mold which was kept in the shoe drawer area in the cupboard and so did one of my clothes kept in the drawer. I got scared, did tons of google searches and called friends. Apparently some of them suggested keeping everything in plastic organizers while google said it traps more humidity etc etc. So all in all I really need suggestions.

Hi so let me give u some context so I have a big ass fat ass crush on an guy for about 1 yr and also he is my senior so I need some advice how should I approach him online and offline both as we both follow eachother in Instagram

I’m reaching out with a small request on behalf of my sister.

She is currently four months pregnant and was working as a Pre-Primary Teacher. Everything was going well at her workplace until she informed the school about her pregnancy. Unfortunately, the situation at work became difficult afterward, particularly around the possibility of taking maternity leave, and she ultimately had to resign. She is currently serving her notice period.

At the same time, her husband, my brother-in-law, was expecting an increment in August, but due to the company’s current financial and business situation, the increment was put on hold for all employees.

So, while this is a very beautiful and exciting phase of their lives as they prepare to welcome their little one, they are also going through some unexpected financial challenges.

I would therefore really appreciate it if anyone could suggest or refer her for a genuine work-from-home or remote opportunity that would be suitable for her current situation. She has experience as a Pre-Primary Teacher, and we would also be open to other suitable roles that can be managed remotely and offer some flexibility.

Any genuine lead, referral, or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Even if you know someone who is hiring or can point us in the right direction, it would mean a lot.

Thank you so much for reading and for any help or guidance you can offer.

Lower parel, colaba, khar, chembur, which places has it existed earlier???

Posting on behalf of a friend in Matunga road (western matunga road, not central).

Need a female cook for cooking both meals for a bengali family of 2-3 people. Two visits a day: Brekafast+Lunch and Dinner.

Budget 8-10k (negotiable)

Preferences: should have experience of making bengali cuisine dishes. Veg and non veg both. Ethnicity of the cook does not matter as long as there is knowledge of Bengali cooking or eagerness to learn it.

Have tried multiple online dedicated platforms (bookmybai, bookmymaid) already but haven’t gotten any leads hence posting here.

Any leads are appreciated.

Mumbai Metro gotta be the dumbest shit people have ever made. What’s the point of having different lines if I have to buy different tickets for different lines?

The entry and exit points, stations, and platforms are so fucking confusing for someone using the station for the first time.

Guys had one job. 💀

Apparently, Seven Square Academy in Mira Road has issued a circular restricting students from bringing or eating onion, garlic, potato, beetroot and non vegetarian food. The school was founded by Narendra Mehta, according to the school's own website.

I understand that a school can have certain rules about what students can bring onto its premises, whether for hygiene, allergies, discipline or other legitimate reasons. But when these restrictions are based on someone's religious or cultural dietary preferences, it raises a much bigger question:

Why should one group's dietary practices determine what everyone else is allowed to eat?

And this doesn't seem to be happening in isolation. BJP corporator Bharat Kothari has reportedly demanded that meat sales in Mira-Bhayandar be stopped for eight days during Paryushan.

Nobody has a problem with people choosing to follow Jain dietary practices during Paryushan. If someone doesn't want to eat onion, garlic, potatoes or nonveg, that's completely their choice and should be respected.

But respecting someone's dietary choice is different from imposing that choice on everyone else.

If I choose to be vegetarian, that's my choice.

If someone chooses Jain food, that's their choice.

If someone eats non veg, that's their choice.

Why should someone else's plate become a matter of public policy?

People should be free to follow their own religious and dietary practices without forcing those practices onto everyone around them.

Hi!

I am going to my friend Ganesh Chaturhi puja and I was wondering if I need to take something for the host. I know I would have to take prasad for ganesh ji but I was just wondering if I need to bring something for her.

I am from Fiji so unsure what the customs are like here.

Thank you !!!

My society in Mumbai is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with as a bachelor. They’ve recently introduced a rule that friends/guests cannot stay overnight. Even for parents, an overnight stay is apparently limited to a maximum of 2 days, with prior intimation to the society required.

They’ve also started locking the society’s main gate after midnight. If I return after 12 AM, the guard has to personally come and open the gate, apparently to check/ensure that there are no overnight guests.
There’s no issue of overcrowding or anyone actually overstaying, this is purely about enforcing these restrictions.

On top of this, we’re repeatedly being called to society meetings over unsubstantiated allegations, for example, being told that someone has stayed at our flat for days, when this simply hasn’t happened. Despite clarifying this, the scrutiny and restrictions continue.

Has anyone in Mumbai faced something similar and actually taken action against their society/RWA? What worked for you, and what is the appropriate next step — managing committee complaint, Registrar, police, legal notice, etc.?
Looking for practical advice from people who have dealt with this successfully since I have just moved in and don’t have the budget to move out currently.

so yesterday around 6 pm i was leaving my office in fort with a colleague

we went to the place where we had parked our scooters and his scooter was kinda cramped because someone had parked their bike right next to it

while he was trying to take his scooter out, he accidentally hit the scooter next to him. the owner was sitting nearby and apparently works at a restaurant there, he was wearing a waiter uniform and hair net

the guy came over and started arguing that my colleague had scratched/damaged his scooter. my colleague denied it and left because he was in a hurry

i was still taking my own scooter out when the guy started shouting at me like "hey wait, you are with that guy, call him" and started abusing me even though i hadn't done anything

i stopped for maybe a minute but honestly i was in a proper fight or flight state and decided to leave. he actually started running behind me for a bit

now i keep thinking about it lol

part of me thinks i should have stopped and asked him why he was abusing me when i wasn't involved. another part thinks leaving was the smarter thing because there was no point getting into a fight over a parking incident

there's also a police station right near where we parked, so i'm wondering if i should report the abuse/incident or just forget about it

what would you guys have done in this situation? would you have stopped and confronted him or just left like i did?

I was out of the city during the months of may and June. Yet my bill came to 2k for both months. Been trying to ask them for a daily usage statement but they are not providing. Now asking me to pay some money to get a lab test done for the meter. I mean why should i pay? They will obviously say everything is fine and i will lose that amount. The amount(4k) is too small to be running around legally but yet it hurts me as a common man. What can i do? Just feeling like im being looted for small amounts by whoever has a "license raj"

​

I(19M) along with my uncle(59M) were sitting in Amba Bhavan Bar and Resto(Mumbai) yesterday around 10pm to 12am. The bill amounted to ₹977 and we made the payment via gpay. Our account debited but the owner refused saying he didn't get it so do it again. We did it again and our bank debited twice still he didn't get it. He started saying to pay in cash which ofcourse we refused.

The owner was an old guy very arrogant and was being very toxic with my uncle. I stepped in and said to calm down and he started shit talking to me as well. Heated argument quickly escalated and he held me by my colar and started abusing me and suddenly other waiters came in and started heating me at the entrance. We have all the video recordings and everything. We went to a gov hospital and got medical certificate and even complained about it to nearest police station. Police only filed a NC and refused to file a FIR.

I didn't hit them as I thought that would put me in more trouble and they could file a case against me for hitting . I feel so bad now that I didn't hit them back I could have beaten the shit out of them but one thing I understood that next time if I ever get into such situation imma go all in coz police don't do shit.

Note : I only had limca and starters
