Maybe I am having a bad day, or maybe I am just PMSing. I am crying while writing this, and I am due to be on a work call in 10 minutes. But Mumbai broke me today. It's been 2 years since I've been in this city, and I love love the people, and the safety it provides, but house hunting and renting here have been a real pain. I managed to find a tiny 1 bhk a week before and it cost me a good 45k. That hit me for a long time, but I thought once I settle in, it will all be good. But things are just getting worse and worse. The road in front of my home is dug up by BMC, so there is a huge problem with getting home deliveries and auto, so I am practically stuck in my new place. I am so homesick, and the money I have shelled out isn't helping either. I am trying to make the place home, but it's hard. There is also a water shortage. Plus, the people in the building aren't very helpful. I tried to get the number of some workers for cleaning from my neighbour, but they said they didn't remember. Also, I am a single girl who has moved in alone for the first time, so I am also a little anxious about everything. My friends did help me move in, but they cannot be here all the time. On top of that, the owner expects me to cover all the repair expenses. In short, I am homesick, and the whole area around me is dug up, dusty, and I feel like I made a mistake moving in alone. I know this rant sounds privileged, and a lot of you might be struggling with worse, but I am crying in my apartment as a 27-year-old woman, too embarrassed to call my mom.
