Bathtub found during bandra demolition drive.
Was someone using a bathtub to bathe or brewing something?
EDIT: Some people have assumed I am making fun of the poor.I have no intention of making fun of anyone.These people have been living on encroached land for years and the politicians have allowed them to live here for their votes.Now when they are being removed they are trying to gain sympathy.
so my sister is 19. she's been obsessed with kanye since she was in 9th std. she had tickets to the actual concert through a friend and she was counting down the days. tour got cancelled last week and she has been in her room ever since. parents are worried, i'm worried, the whole house is weird.
today she came out of her room for the first time in 3 days and showed me a poster apparently khar social is doing a ye listening night on sunday the 24th. dj playing his whole discography, karaoke. she said "can we go" and bro i would have said yes if she asked me to fly her to mars at that point.
problem is i dont really know kanye beyond like 5 songs. and im 27, definitely older than the avg crowd at these things. is it gonna be all college kids or is there gonna be other 25+ ppl. dont wanna stick out and ruin her night.
if anyone's been to khar social for one of these nights before pls lmk what the crowd looks like. and if anyone here is also going, would be nice to know there's some friendly faces. shes excited for the first time in a week i just want it to be a good night for her.
I’m a 32 year-old who applied for a passport . Today was a date for police verification and police showed up at my house . During verification, the officer asked me to submit either of my fathers’ birth certificate.
My parents were born in small villageof assam migrated to mumbai at the age of around 11 .. worked in small factory and then settled in , he do not have birth certificates, as it was not common during their time. The oldest document he has is voter id card issued in 1996 ... I tried to provide my his old voter id card as proof of nationality , but the officer insisted to get birth certificate.
I thought he was trying to ask the bribe so I gave him chai pani . But he refuses taking it . After too much request . He told me he will have a talk with his senior and will keep your file on hold for 4 days , before giving his final verdict... I am worried guys ...please help . Neither I can make my father's birth certificate as he is 65 yrs old with no prior memory before ..
Is there a easy quick way to get old person brith certificate with in 4 days ??
What should I do now? How can I resolve this issue and proceed with my passport application?
The terminal building was supposed to be symmetrical design. But some people screwed this up. (We know who).
Now the anti encroachment drive in full swing in Bandra, lets hope the main airport of financial capital of India gets a proper terminal building.
11am ac local reaches mulund station and a gang of potbellied gujju men enter the train daily.
they just cant stop talking loudly ffs
even today when some unc tried to convey them to be quiet they instead started arguing with him... no sense of surrounding whatsoever.
Genuinely we need to come up with a solution for this my anc earphones have also given up in front of them 🙏🏻 the ac pass costed a fortune 😭
Hey everyone,
I recently shifted to Mumbai for work and honestly I have zero idea about the nightlife and club culture here 😅
I’m originally from Lucknow and still figuring out the city, so I’d love some genuine recommendations for good nightclubs, lounges, or places with great music and crowd for weekends. Open to Bollywood, techno, commercial, live music — anything with a good vibe.
Would also appreciate tips about:
• Best days to visit clubs
• Places to avoid
• Entry/stag charges
• Dress code
• Safe late-night travel options
I’m based around Navi Mumbai but don’t mind travelling if the place is worth it.
Looking forward to your suggestions 🍻
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to skip office one day next week and just roam around somewhere. Looking for suggestions on places to visit or fun activities to try.
Also, since it’ll be a weekday and less crowded, what food places or dishes would you recommend trying out?
How would you all spend a random free weekday like this?
hi guys, i need some advice. i am 17f who was born and raised in the US to indian parents, and will be moving to mumbai in october because of some family issues. ik some hindi but its really not that good, and i definitely can’t read or write it, will this be an issue? im moving to west bandra, how is the social scene there and what food places/places would you recommend. i’m very scared about this move, please give advice🙏 ( i meant west not east bandra )😭
Hi all! looking for recommendations. I really want to have matcha but haven't found any cafe yet which serves REALLY GOOD matcha. boujee was shit. please send in your recommendations 🙏
Every summer in Navi Mumbai feels hotter than the last.
This year, we’re already seeing water cuts, tanker dependence, and warnings from municipalities about restricted water usage and yet, at the same time, Navi Mumbai is rapidly becoming one of India’s biggest data centre hubs.
I recently started digging into this, and honestly, it’s becoming difficult to ignore.
There are already **20+ operational data centres in and around Navi Mumbai**, with many more proposed across areas like Airoli, Ghansoli, Rabale, Mahape, Taloja, and surrounding MIDC zones. Companies are investing billions because Navi Mumbai offers land availability, connectivity, submarine cable access, and proximity to Mumbai’s financial ecosystem.
But here’s the question nobody seems to be discussing enough:
**Where is all the water going to come from?**
Most large data centres require enormous amounts of electricity and water for cooling systems. Depending on the design and temperature conditions, a single hyperscale data centre can consume **millions of litres of water annually**. And with AI expansion, server density, and rising computational demand, cooling requirements are only increasing.
We are already living in a city where:
Summers are becoming harsher every year
Rainfall patterns are increasingly unpredictable
Groundwater depletion is a growing concern
Wetlands and mangroves are under pressure
Residential societies regularly depend on tankers
Municipal water cuts have become “normal”
So what happens when dozens more large-scale cooling-intensive facilities come online?
And before someone says “they recycle water” — yes, some do. But even recycled systems still require substantial make-up water, power infrastructure, and environmental trade-offs. Plus, the heat discharge, diesel backup systems, construction footprint, and energy demand all have downstream environmental impacts.
What’s worrying is that this conversation is already happening globally.
Countries and regions across the world have started questioning unchecked data centre expansion because of:
Water consumption
Stress on local grids
Carbon emissions
Heat island effects
Noise pollution
Impact on nearby residents
Land and ecosystem degradation
Some examples:
Parts of the US have seen public protests over water-intensive data centres during drought periods.
Ireland temporarily slowed data centre approvals because of grid pressure concerns.
The Netherlands imposed restrictions in certain regions due to land, energy, and sustainability concerns.
Communities near large facilities have raised concerns regarding groundwater and local environmental strain.
Meanwhile here, Navi Mumbai is being marketed as the “next big data centre destination” without enough public discussion about long-term sustainability.
I’m not anti-technology.
Data centres are important. The internet, cloud systems, banking, AI, hospitals, and businesses all depend on them.
But should development happen without transparent environmental discussions?
Questions I genuinely think need answers:
How much water is currently allocated to existing data centres in Navi Mumbai?
What happens during severe drought years?
Are there independent environmental impact studies available publicly?
What percentage of cooling water is recycled?
How much additional electricity infrastructure is being planned?
What safeguards exist for surrounding residential areas?
Is anyone studying long-term groundwater stress?
Are citizens even being informed properly?
Because right now, it feels like we’re sleepwalking into a future where:
temperatures keep rising,
infrastructure keeps expanding,
water keeps reducing,
and citizens are expected to simply “adjust.”
At some point, we need to ask:
**What is sustainable urban growth supposed to look like?**
If tomorrow there’s no reliable water supply, what exactly are we going to do with massive server farms running beside residential areas?
Would genuinely like to hear thoughts from:
urban planners
environmental researchers
engineers
people working in data centres
residents around Airoli/Ghansoli/Mahape
anyone who has researched this further
Some reading for people interested:
Google & Microsoft water usage reports
Ireland’s debates around grid pressure from data centres Netherlands restrictions on hyperscale data centres Reports on AI-related cooling demand growth
Maharashtra’s data centre policy and MIDC expansion plans
This honestly feels like one of the biggest long-term urban issues nobody around us is seriously discussing yet.
Can we survive at Andheri East at the amount of 25k for a two months internship? How are the costs in the city? And also what are the food options available too? As the office is not providing any. Will there be any chance that the cost can be very less for staying in Mumbai?
I’m from Kerala and was in Mumbai for 5 days. Yesterday near Mohammad Ali Road the whole area suddenly turned into chaos 💀
Bulldozers, lorries, police, smoke everywhere and street vendor shops getting demolished in the middle of the crowd. Felt straight out of a GTA mission ngl.
I’ve also been seeing similar incidents mentioned on Reddit lately, what exactly is going on? And do these vendors usually come back after a few days?
Hi all, wanted to know if the NMIA shuttle services to nearby stations such as Nerul, Targhar etc are decent and regular? How was the boarding experience?
I am going to be travelling from the airport to home on a Sunday around 8 PM. I have one bag with me. Will that be an issue?
Alternatively, how good are the Chalo buses which go into Mumbai at the airport at that time?
Any alternative suggestions on how to get out of that airport without paying some insane cab fare are appreciated🙏
Smart. I see it's difficult carrying an extra piece of bag for your lunch box and traveling long distances is tough. But never thought people would come up with a solution like this!!
I need to vent and honestly understand the logic here. I use Rapido daily to commute to and from work. For me, it has been an absolute lifesaver. Price-wise, it costs almost the same as a rickshaw, but it has two massive benefits:
Zero rejection/waiting time: Before switching to bike taxis, I’d spend ages (sometimes literally an hour) stranded on the road during peak hours, watching empty autos speed past or flat-out refuse to go to my destination. With the app, I book, a rider accepts, and the job gets done.
Traffic navigation: Let’s be real—weaving through Mumbai traffic on a bike gets you to your destination way faster than a three-wheeler or a cab ever could.
Yet, over the last few weeks, I’ve seen traffic police pulling over Rapido captains and slapping them with heavy fines. Just today the rider was petrified and was actively avoiding traffic police because of the fines imposed on his fellow riders. Riding a bike taxi is 10 times better and safer than an auto rickshaw carrying 6 people (including driver). These so called share rickshaws operate without any fines or issues because
You already know....
If the bike taxis are actively solving a major public transit problem for single commuters, why exactly are they penalizing it?
I understand the legal and safety arguments, but it feels like the government is banning a solution before providing a viable alternative to the auto-rickshaw mafia and the endless peak-hour rejections.
