Does anyone else feel like Mumbai has been unusually hot lately? It feels like we barely got to enjoy the rains, winter was skipped, and now we're already in full on summer. 🥵😭
The heat is honestly making me want to pack my bags and escape to some cold place in the mountains for a few days.
Is anyone else feeling the same or am I just getting tired of Mumbai's weather?
Students detained just for being there at dadar
Was being detained myself luckily they didn't have vehicles to detain us, so was asked by a few personnel that we change our routes and reach wherever we wish to but not at Shivaji Park or nearby areas.
Old people, young people and everyone who was around was being detained in police vans.
This is just beside the shiv sena house, Dadar
Visited Powai and was honestly disappointed to see the amount of garbage left behind after the Shradh rituals. Plastic, discarded items, and waste scattered across the area. Whatever the occasion or tradition, how is leaving a public place in this condition acceptable?
I respect everyone's religious beliefs, but faith and cleanliness should go hand in hand. Our city is already struggling with waste management, and leaving more garbage behind only makes things worse for everyone. Celebrating or observing a tradition shouldn't mean making the surroundings someone else's problem.
Mumbai belongs to all of us. We can't keep demanding a cleaner city while contributing to the very mess we complain about. Can we not practise our traditions while also taking responsibility for the waste we leave behind?
Ps: Don't come and say you don't tell this during other festivals n all. Just accept it y'all 🫠
Population density of Mumbai spread across the city. This is a modelled estimate, not a accurate population count because we don't have latest census data. Global Human Settlement Layer data was used to build this visual which takes account census and satellite imagery of buildings.
This is just a small example of the amount of cops , there were 10x the amount. I got stopped multiple times in a walk back from my lunch which would be a small distance of 200m.
I was asked for my ID and personal information. I work as a veterinarian in Shivaji Park so after rigorous questioning I was allowed to pass , only to be stopped by the next set of cops.
All of this is happening while there are drunkards sitting in the middle of the road on the way back.
Anyone choosing to protest , this is a heads up for you but I’m truly against this all? Can’t a citizen walk on the footpath ? Is that illegal?
Dear Tamilians who have migrated to Mumbai, please help! I miss and crave our food. Anything South Indian here is only idly dosa (with sugar. The blasphemy!) when there is a whole lot of yummy food from Tamilnadu that could’ve been here. So please drop your Tamil restaurants recommendations here and no I refuse to accept Tanjore Tiffin Room as the answer.
Does anybody know how to book this type of taxi in mumbai?? 🤷🤷
How is this acceptable in residential area ? Is this even legal?
I am too coward to actually do something about this.
This sound is too much to handle even for a healthy young individual like me.
Cannot imagine what sick, elderly and babies must be going through.
People were right, money talks.
I went out with my Google pixel to capture some moments . The final effects of rain are still visible for a week or two . But good enough to neutralize my city toxins .
Seriously, what’s happening with getting an auto in Mumbai these days?
It feels like getting an auto to agree to go to your destination has become a task of its own. Some drivers refuse to go, some cancel, and sometimes you have to try multiple autos just to get one ride.
Is there an actual shortage of auto drivers, has demand increased, or have drivers just become more selective about the trips they want to take? Or has everyone’s salary increased so much that fewer people are willing to deal with the daily auto struggle? 😂
Genuinely curious to know what’s causing this. Is everyone else facing the same issue, or am I just unlucky?
Now that I've your attention, please read this post 🙏🏻
I honestly don't know where to start from, but I'll come straight to the point that I urgently desperately need a Job I beg you all I need your help 😔🙏🏻
I do have 0 full time work experience as of now, no corporate experience as such. I haven't even earned a single rupee my entire life and I'm ashamed to say that I've totally been dependent on my mummy's tailoring earning my entire life till now. Honestly, my mummy is totally frustrated with me but that's totally because of me that's my fault completely I accept that. I come from a tier 3 city and our financial conditions has always been extremely poor forever till now. Just to give you a context that I come from a joint family and I've had a extremely tough childhood and adulthood till now because of extremely toxic environment I had faced back then, though I feel what I faced in adulthood is on me as I failed to focus on the controllables and ruined my life completely.
I've had passive suicidal thoughts almost every week since last 10 - 12 years. Also I've totally wasted my last 10 - 12 years and this can be seen in my major gap years.
Tbh, both my mental health and physical health has taken a very bad toll because of all these things. Currently I've started seeing a psychiatrist and I'm currently on SSRI antidepressants and ADHD medicines and other substantial health issues medicines as well. I feel that I'm feeling a bit better now than before.
I used to be a good obedient kinda ideal child during my school days and I had scored more than 85% both in my 10th and 12th std. Even my graduation score was 9.XX CGPA.
I was even pursuing CA course and had scored quite well in CA CPT but left that course in IPCC due to extreme mental health issues and toxic family environment.
I don't know where I lost the plot of my life completely, from a good obedient ideal child kinda boy to this utter complete failure I've become at 28. I see my schoolmates and other former friends and acquaintances working in great corporates at really good packages and here I am a complete failure in life.
I know that I'm giving too much information but tbh my entire life I've never shared my complete life situation to anyone and being anonymous on reddit gives me a bit of Freedom to finally express myself and genuinely ask for help who can help me 🙏🏻
I'm currently working on my mental health aspect of things and will start working on physical health side of things as well, but I desperately need a source of earning now as I want to support my mummy I'm already very late now.
Honestly I did my career counseling with ChatGPT a few weeks back and it recommended me to go for Business Analyst or Financial Analyst direction ahead in my career. Eventually I do want to get to one of these job roles but I do have to start from somewhere.
I have 0 friends and I've been a loner my entire life thanks to these major social anxiety issues and my introvert nature, so I don't even have good relations with anyone in my life.
Daily 24X7 I have these Regrets^Regrets about my entire life decisions both which were in or outside my control.
Lately I've been watching a lot of motivational movies since last few months be it Jersey, The Pursuit of Happyness, Soorarai Pottru, 12th Fail, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, MS Dhoni and I feel that my life needs a Complete Total RESET now. I'm totally responsible for my current situation I don't want to blame anyone but I do want to desperately need to get my Life on track now. I know mene apni life ko puri tarah se barbaad karke rakh diya he but me aise apni aane wali puri life nhi jeena chahta.
I really don't know what I should say next, I always wanted to share these things my entire life but never had the guts to share. Kabhi kabhi bas sunne wala koi chahiye jo gale lagakar bolde ki bhai sab theek ho jayega.
Also please no trolling in comments 🙏🏻
Whoever can help me to get a Job, I desperately need your support and I won't forgive this help my entire upcoming Life. I just need to get started from somewhere and this has been the toughest part for me. I genuinely need your help and guidance 🙏🏻
Has anyone else noticed this on Zepto?
Earlier, the minimum order value for free delivery used to be ₹99 for me. Then it started changing to ₹199, sometimes ₹299, and occasionally even ₹399. It would go up and down, but now it seems like it never goes back to ₹99. It's stuck at ₹199 for me.
I'm from Thane, Maharashtra, and I'm wondering if this depends on your location or pincode. Does Zepto set different minimum order values for free delivery in different areas, or does it depend on your account or other factors?
People from Thane and other areas, what's the minimum order value showing for you right now? Also, has anyone's threshold gone back to ₹99 recently?
Don't use vending machines in metro station. Yesterday I tried to have something cool in this hot weather. I thought a coke from machine wouldn't harm. I paid and took the can. It wasn't cool. At best it was normal temperature. It was a disappointment.
My sister[early 20s] surfers from childhood trauma from her parents arguing and bickering all the time and eventually getting divorce. Especially, her father being very tough on her to the point that now, even as an adult she gets startled very easily and goes into fits of what I would describe as parental PTSD during pressure situations and when anyone is raising their voice even in the slightest. This has left her at a very big disadvantage career wise because she can't handle work pressure at all.
If you folks know someone who specialized in these specific things and takes in person sessions [because I feel it might be more beneficial] could you guys please help me with a recommendation? Thank you!
Currently, there is no direct metro service from Mumbai Airport to Navi Mumbai airport. All Mumbai residents, who wants to catch the flight at Navi Mumbai airport, has reach by either by their own vehicle or by public transport, like train, taxi and bus (chalo bus service from Andheri and Colaba, and MSRTC bus service from Dadar and Borivali). It takes over hour to reach Navi Mumbai Airport from the parts of Mumbai, depending upon the area (for e.g. Andheri, Borivali, Malad etc). If people are travelling by train to reach Navi Mumbai airport, the frequency of Nerul/Belapur-Uran train services is less, so people either have to get down at Seawoods-Darave-Karave or Belapur CBD, and it takes 1 to 2 hours from Mumbai, depending upon the railway station. And the taxi fare is too costly, like for example Uber cabs fare from Borivali to NMIA is Rs. 753 for Uber Go (Hyundai Prime/Aura, Maruti Suzuki Dzire/Tour S or Wagon r/Tour H3) and Rs. 2275 for Uber XL (Maruti Suzuki Ertiga/Tour M or Toyota Rumion). Same goes with from CSMIA to NMIA, the fare is Rs. 550 for Uber Go and Rs. 1537 for Uber XL. There is a metro line service in Navi Mumbai, but only from Belapur to Pendhar (Taloja) and it doesn't go to the airport.
Does Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) badly need a metro connectivity?
