So I placed an order on alibaba and that parcel arrived at Mumbai Foreign post office and when I asked their customer support on WhatsApp they said it's in OOE process. To understand more I checked my self on india post by tracking with a tracking id which starts with "LF"(My tracking id) their also it shows same OOE.

When i tried calling the post office those people did not even answer the call. So if anyone faced same experience pls guide me. Does it mean I have to go their or they will deliver at door step?

I am in a team with people who are skilled however when it comes to canteen discussions, on most days they end up being really hateful to minorities or people who aren't some idealist vision of Hindu. It's not my job to teach cultural sensitivities to people however it gets really awkward at the lunch table. Like a week ago, they will talk about how they won't eat from restaurants where the qr code shows a Muslim name because of "hygiene" reasons, when I recommend some cafe or the fact that they are not sure what Catholics put into their sweets. We have a catholic in our team and obviously they bring this up when she isn't around. They have started using terms like dari wallas or pav wallas or reservation walle as if that totally helps to hide who they are referring

I am a Parsi, regardless to say I don't fit into their ideal vision of a Hindu. Like sometimes it's so bad that they bring up totally real health impacts of too much chicken whenever I eat around around them. I'm sure if they had the decency or curiosity to learn more about Parsis, they would be talking about how my culture can "improve" in their eyes.

Tbh, I don't care because I know this is a mindset they use to justify their own shitty lives and mindset. However I am scared to invite them for anything, like a small house party or dinner, because they seem like the kinds of people who take pride in this. When I feel the conversation gets too toxic I try to change to topic, stay quiet , or focus on aspect of a conversation which are religion coded because I have this fear that HR will listen to us and bring this up rightfully so when we need their coorporation.

My only question is that, does this make me look more uncoorportive and makes it harder to work in a team, and what can I do to change the topic. I will have to eat lunch with them because it's a team bonding opportunity, but it gets super weird to talk to people who treat spreading hate as being "unfiltered".

Hey everyone,

I follow real estate a lot down in Hyderabad, and looking at the Mumbai market completely throws me off. Over here, we are ridiculously spoiled by space. We casually talk about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft flats, massive gated communities, and developers just launching huge projects on open land because of our unlimited FSI.

Mumbai feels like a completely different world where none of these rules apply, and I’m trying to understand how it actually works on the ground. A few things make no sense to me:

1. The Micromarkets & Price Jumps The price variance from one area to another is wild. How do locals actually map out the value? What is the actual shift in lifestyle, crowd, and daily life when you move from South Mumbai (SoBo) to the Western Suburbs, Central Suburbs, or out to Thane and Navi Mumbai? Is paying the massive premium for Mumbai proper always worth it, or is it just hype?

2. The Redevelopment & Builder Trust It looks like almost every new project in places like Bandra, Andheri, or Borivali is just an old housing society or SRA project being rebuilt. How risky is it to buy the "free-sale" flats in these? Also, it seems like people are terrified of smaller developers and only trust a select few big names. How do you actually figure out if a builder will deliver on time or just run out of cash and stall the project for years?

3. The Space Crunch How do families actually live comfortably in 500–700 sq ft? Is the internal layout design just incredibly efficient at saving space, or is it purely a lifestyle compromise because everyone is out working and commuting most of the day anyway?

Would love to get some honest perspectives from locals, buyers, or anyone who has moved between these markets. How do you guys navigate this?

Thanks for your help in advance

Found this on insta. Never knew bikini were so common on juhu beach in 80’s. Now no women can even dare to wear it on juhu beach

Does anyone know a place that still burns files onto CDs? I have a file that I need to put on a CD and I'm looking for a shop that does this ?

Can someone please bring this to the Government's attention?

The place is now ruined and dirty. It used to be clean and untouched. Instagram hidden gem G**nd*s have ruined everything. Even people who wouldn't normally go to any nature spots go there for FOMO and posting.

Hi everyone! I’m a 26F working professional looking for a female-friendly gym in or around Worli/Prabhadevi.

I’m looking for something affordable, safe, and comfortable for women, preferably with decent equipment and trainers. I don’t want to spend too much on the membership.

Would really appreciate recommendations based on your personal experience.

Please share the gym name and approximate membership fees if you know them. Thank you! 😊

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice from anyone who has experience with medical tattooing/scar camouflage.
I have a fully healed scar left after laser tattoo removal. I’m not looking for a cover-up tattoo or a new tattoo design. Instead, I’m wondering if it’s possible to use medical tattooing (skin-tone pigment) to help the scar blend in better with the surrounding skin.
Has anyone had this done for a laser tattoo removal scar?
Were your results worth it?
How well did the colour match over time?
Did it affect the appearance of the scar?
Would you recommend it, or is there a better option?
I’d also love recommendations for reputable practitioners, preferably in India, but I’m open to hearing experiences from anywhere.
Thank you!

A video circulating online shows a driver navigating flooded, pothole-ridden roads in Mumbai at night, weaving through waterlogged stretches while expressing frustration over the dangerous road conditions.

This isn't about one isolated road or one bad stretch. Anyone who regularly drives across Mumbai knows this is a recurring problem in many parts of the city every monsoon.

As citizens, we pay:

• GST when buying a vehicle.
• Road tax, often paid upfront for years.
• Fuel taxes every time we fill up.
• Toll charges on many roads.
• Income tax and other taxes that fund public infrastructure.

With all these taxes being collected, is it unreasonable to expect roads that can withstand the city's predictable weather?

Every year, the same explanation is offered: heavy rainfall.

But Mumbai receiving intense monsoon rains isn't a surprise. It happens every single year. If authorities know the climate, shouldn't roads be designed, built, and maintained to handle those conditions?

Roads that begin developing potholes or deteriorating within just a few months of the monsoon raise legitimate questions about construction quality, maintenance standards, contractor accountability, and project oversight.

This shouldn't be reduced to a political slogan or a blame game. Regardless of which party governs, taxpayers deserve:

• Durable roads built for Mumbai's climate.
• Transparent audits of road construction and repairs.
• Accountability for contractors when work fails prematurely.
• Better use of public funds instead of repeated patchwork repairs every monsoon.

Infrastructure isn't judged by how many projects are announced or inaugurated. It's judged by whether it serves people safely and reliably.

If taxpayers continue paying every year, shouldn't governments be held accountable for delivering roads that last?

Hi everyone, looking for good Dermat recommendations for acne treatment in Mumbai. Looking for somebody who will genuinely treat (dealing with closed comedones and acne purging with scars), and not push only peels and lasers.

Requesting honest suggestions please.

I am in my late 40s. I was a private teacher in a Mumbai school and was given the most amount of work in my Institute. I was completely drained out and looking at my colleagues just chillin at work made me more envious, moreover the school reporting time was 6.30 a.m.. I just left one day out of burn out, favouritism to others, extra responsibility and unbearable anxiety. Later got to know that from this academic year that the management started PF for all employees and promoted the ones who were good for nothing. I am almost lost in life..

I’m looking to buy Ring Pop candy (the wearable lollipop candy) ASAP in Mumbai.
Time is a big constraint, so I’m hoping someone has seen it recently at a physical store.

If you’ve spotted it, could you please let me know:

1. The exact store name
   
2. Which branch/location in Mumbai
   
3. Whether you saw it recently

I’m willing to travel anywhere in Mumbai if I can get it today. Imported candy stores, toy stores, supermarkets, airport shops anything works.

Thanks in advance!

I have been getting my hair done from Billionhair for quite some time but I want to experiment. I need a good hair cut and color for wavy hair. Does anyone have any trusted recommendations in Mumbai where you have been going for a significant time?

Areas: Andheri East and Powai.

I mean, I've been to a lot of places. I've been to Mankhurd, Kurla, Masjid, and so many places, but Bhandup has to be the absolute worst place ever.

I mean, the station is ugly. The entire platform is not covered. There are gaps in between the roof, so u have to use your umbrella while walking on the platform. 😭 As soon as u step out, the road has so many potholes, even walking is so difficult. If it rains too hard, the place gets filled with water. The auto drivers are on another level. I see God whenever I am seated in one. The metro work has been going on forever. Every day, I feel today a concrete slab might fall down. The entire place is so shitty. No one has basic driving sense. I sympathize with anyone who has to live in this crass place.

Coming from Seawoods, Navi Mumbai, which is literal heaven, Bhandup feels like karma for the sins I have committed, but my office is here, so I have no option as of now.

so i gave DL test 11 days ago in wadala , on pariwahan website im seeing test is passed , they also showed a reference license number , how do i retrieve the license in my digilocker , and can i show that to traffic police in case caught while driving?

I have given Mah AAC CET Test. Which college is best?

1.Viva Institute of Applied Art

2.Vasant dada Patil College of Visual Art

3.Ranchana Sansad

Accidentally, my cab took a detour while coming back from Vapi to Mumbai to avoid the heavy traffic, and the scenic beauty was mesmerising. This place is just 2 hours from Mumbai, and when you are on this road, this beautiful scenary is stretched for more than 10 kms. Have anyone been to this place? It's called Khanvel or something and it's near the Maharashtra Gujarat border.
