Life in mumbai depends a lot on how wealthy you are. For most people an accurate image will be of slums, garbage dumps and rivers of drainage

This image is probably from the 1960s..lol...

The true image mummbai should the overcrowding local trains where people fight like dogs to board and travel like cattle taken to a slaughter house. .
Sorry even the cattle taken to slaughter house has more space to stand

Is this the best city in the world?

It's been some time since I received some kindness from people. The last time I heard some kind words or got a kind gesture was very long ago. Today, whoever I interact with behaves absurdly without any compassion. The shopkeepers won't talk politely if asked about a product, the house owners will talk rudely and make random rules any day, people won't smile on the metro, in restaurants they will shout on the waiters and the list goes on. I am not even bringing up autowalas and taxiwalas. What does it take to show some compassion? How much does it take to compromise a little bit so that other person feels good about this world? Why does everyone want to just rip other off? 😞

What happened to the world?

I have shifted from banglore to my hometown in rajasthan and its lovely here. Greet everyone with ram ram /radhe radhe and people smile back greet back, its superb. I was missing this element in banglore

Is it just me or do you all also think that Mumbai smells funny? It’s as if everyone here is cooking smelly food all the time. If not food, it might be something else but there’s always a smell when I visit.

Mumbai has a weird smell!

unemployed friend in Delhi: "no stress bro, i'll drop you home in Gurgaon. 36 km is nothing"

software engineer friend in Bangalore making 24 lpa: "27th main road is kinda far from my place on 5th main. plus the auto fare is going up by like 56 bucks. mind booking your own auto?"

In my org people have been creating that vibe where they are very sophisticated about their actions, the way they speak etc, they behave like we are working in a US based startup where they are using western lingo and all together a different way to communicate. I have worked in other startups in other cities but didn’t find this type of culture. Is this common or am I missing something?

What are your thoughts?

Are bangalore people actually very sophisticated or they are just faking it?

A simple explanation is that people live in their little bubble. 
 That bubble explodes when the auto/cab driver tells them to go f themselves

Hey Mumbaikars on Grapevine! 
What’s the best way to meet new people and have fun in Mumbai? 
(Not referring to places to visit but more in terms of activities or building a social circle- you got the gist)

Fun in Mumbai

- Young boys of Juhu, Bandra, Versova all look like Aryan Khan and Vedang Raina (Archies starcast), like everyone is an actor here or what?
- The traffic isn't shitty, the drivers are. They are coming at you from everywhere, left right front. If you can drive here, you are good for anywhere tbh
- Only 1% of the Two wheelers drivers wear helmet. No fear of traffic cops if not for life?
- The roads man, the roads. Never appreciated Delhi/Gurgaon more than seeing such tiny roads across the country 
- The pay disparity is on the face! Posh areas with tall buildings are lined with small houses - tarpaulin roof, bare walls but AC units
- The family bond is very evident - families watching TVs together with windows open (why don't they draw curtains tbh?) or be it on beaches over the weekend. It's cute nonetheless ❤️ 
- The safety is crazy (in a very good way). I was out at 10pm last night, and my mind was panicking like shit. But looks like, be it 10 am or 10pm, it is BAU for the city
- Have you seen the traffic signals? Apart from the usual, they have four tubelights in perpendicular. Just cannot jump lights now!
- Metro has 4 coaches 😆 

- The Sea heals parts of your soul you didn’t even know were broken 🥺

I'll add more 🫣

Some Mumbai observations as a non Mumbaikar

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

It's a very Indian mindset to treat or look down upon people who make a lot of money. We find some or the other reason to bring them down. We call them names. Though most of our life problems can be solved by money. 

Just like there is an American dream I think the Indian dream is to stay middle class and bitch about people who do the hard work. 

I understand that there are certain classes of people who are truly disadvantaged in terms of caste or patriarchy but for others it's just being lazy and reluctant to change.

Bitching about people who are successful just gives them a sense of achievement without actually putting in the effort.

Indians wholeheartedly hate people who make money

I don't look down upon people who make money; I look down upon people who brag about it

Saw people fighting over these cities, so decided to end the war. Compiled the data available in the public domain, and the results are shocking.

Delhi now has the second largest user base on Grapevine, leaving Mumbai behind at #3. No points for guessing which city is #1.

I have been working from mountains and it has been a very good experience. I am here since last 13days no internet issue and mobile data is also fast enough. 

I got a tiffin arrangement as well. I am from Noida and before moving to mountains for a longer time just experimenting different areas of Uttarakhand and recently I am at Mukteshwar. 

Those thinking about my office: I have permanent WFH remote first company. 

Place Name: EcoEscape Mukteshwar

Got to learn of this place from Booking[.]com
