Mumbai recorded 1,54,017 dog-bite cases in 2025. The MC govt didn't give this stat on it's own, an RTI activist had to seek info. Every few days we see news of grave injury or death because of dogs. We know govt is hand in gloves because activists and officers are benefitting from the rabies drug makers trying to save the last big market. We as citizens now have to decide what we should do of these activists in our local area.

So, this happened today.

I was standing outside a tea shop, casually waiting for my chai and snacks. Out of nowhere, a random middle-aged uncle, who was pretty short and had that typical chapri attitude, came and pushed me while walking past me.

The funny thing? There was literally enough space for him to walk without touching me.

I immediately confronted him and asked, “Bhai, kya kar rahe ho? Itni jagah hai chalne ke liye, phir dhakka kyun maar rahe ho?”

Instead of simply apologising or moving on, this guy got aggressive and started shouting. Then came the classic dialogue:

“Main MNS se hoon, leader hoon. Apne logon ko bulata hoon. Tujhe jaan se maar dunga!”

I was like, “Bula le bhai, main yahin khada hoon. Kisko bulana hai bula le.”

He actually called someone and continued acting like he was about to bring an entire army to the spot.

Now here's the funniest part.

It's been around 10–15 minutes. I'm still standing here, and neither has anyone arrived nor is that uncle anywhere to be seen. 😂

Bro literally threatened to kill me and call his people over a minor argument about pushing someone on the street, and then disappeared.

I genuinely don't understand why some people think dropping a political party's name gives them the right to threaten random strangers.

Being associated with a political party doesn't give you the right to intimidate people or threaten them with violence.

Anyway, I'm sharing this because I'm curious: Have any of you experienced something similar in Mumbai, where someone starts throwing around political connections just because you confronted them over something completely normal?

P.S. I'm still processing how a simple chai-and-snacks stop turned into a potential political action thriller. 💀😂

When there's a full coach reserved only for ladies, why to reserve seats too in other coaches for ladies?

So guyz I’m coming to Anderi west , Mumbai for the first time and really wanna check out some thrift stores while I’m there.

Which ones are actually worth visiting? Looking for good finds at reasonable prices, somewhere I can spend some time exploring and hopefully find some cool stuff.

Drop your recommendations, especially places I shouldn’t miss !!

Between Andheri and Worli.

Between Mulund and Parel.

I need to get some good references for Indian Chinese. No fancy restaurants please. Road side red plastic chairs and red bowls types....

Mom and pop joints. Suggestions with popular dishes welcome.

Hi All,

I wish to buy 150-200gm solid silver 925 purity idol of Ganpati and lakshmi. I want to gift it to family

I saw few places in and around my area(Thane) & i liked few but the face and design was not so clear.

I wish to go to zaveri bazar but am confused how to navigate around and which shops i should choose to look around.

Also if not zaveri bazar, please feel free to recommend other shops or places.

Can someone please guide me on this?

Hey guys, planning to go to Imagicaa (Khopoli) from Mumbai.

Starting from CSMT

1. Which train to take? Khopoli local? Where to change?
   
2. Is it crowded while boarding?
   
3. Return last train timing Imagicaa to Mumbai?

Trying to do it cheap (train + auto) not private cab. Going on a weekday.

Thanks!

2 of us will be coming to Mumbai from the UK in March. We need ideas of where to stay. We enjoy bars, clubs, good food and sports. No budget!

Not everyone has black money and wants to get rid of it. For some people cash is more convenient than digital payments.

I have been to several countries and not a single person has judged or asked when using cash. I was never forced to do online payments.
They always ask if paying via cash or card and will gladly accept both the payments, nobody really cares if you tap to pay, use cards or cash. They will not make weird faces and excuses. They just move on.

This just happens in India.
Here people make it look like using cash is some sort of crime. And people will force you to do UPI, Gpay, Phonepe, etc.
Even in malls, superstores or local stores have started asking to do UPI even if you don’t have change or something. This is ridiculous.
You cannot force a customer to change the payment method. You own a store, keep enough cash.

One of the malls in Mumbai did not have any change and forced me to do UPI. Same happened at Smart bazaar & Dmart. Local stores never refused for any change or cash, but now they have started demanding UPI payments. Even rickshawalas and taxis. If I have cash with me, I will definitely use it everywhere.
I have started arguing with those who force me to do UPI, will not do unless there is a good enough reason.

This is absolutely wrong and people need to stop this.
I will do UPI if I want to, I will pay in cash if I want to.
I will use credit cards if I want to.
Stop judging and shaming people for using cash.

I’m originally from Mumba, in my mid 30s, but have been living abroad for the past 11 years- 6 years in the US and the last 5 years in Canada.
I’m now seriously considering moving back to Mumbai for family reasons in the next few months, and I’d love to connect with people who’ve made a similar move!
I’m particularly curious about what the transition has been like both personally and professionally in the tech world. Things like adjusting to life in Mumbai again, finding a community, navigating the job market, and just getting used to being back after so many years abroad.
I’d also love to know if there are any WhatsApp groups, communities, or meetups for people who’ve moved back to India.
If you’ve made the move, I’d love to hear about your experience - the good, the bad, and anything you wish you’d known beforehand!
Thanks in advance! :) please don’t spam my post by saying I shouldn’t move back to India as I said it’s for personal reasons!

Edit: I have a few specific questions, especially for women who’ve moved back:
- Living with parents: My parents would love for me to live with them, but I’ve lived independently for over a decade. Would you recommend living with them or getting my own place nearby?
- Lifestyle adjustment: During my recent visit, I struggled with the heat, lack of walkability, public transport, and constant staring. Does it get easier?
- For women: How has life been after moving back, especially as a single woman in your 30s? What about independence, personal freedom, and societal expectations?
- Social and work life: How easy was it to make friends and adjust to the work culture, especially in tech?
Would love to hear your honest experiences!

My 6-year-old had a deep cut on his chin at home. On our pediatrician's advice, we took him to a private hospital in Powai for stitches. He's fine now. He got a local anaesthetic and stitches.

We were billed ₹19,110: ₹1,500 consultation, about ₹1,610 consumables, ₹9,300 for "CLW - Multiple" and ₹6,700 for "Intermediate Debridement". The bill doesn't list anaesthesia separately. When we asked for a breakup, this is what we got. We paid, but it's been bothering us. Even ₹9-10k would have felt high.

It also made me wonder: what happens to someone who can't afford this in an emergency? Do they risk travelling across the city in traffic, with a worsening condition, just to find a cheaper place?

Has anyone dealt with something similar, or successfully disputed a bill? Also, is this a normal price for stitches at private hospitals in Mumbai?

I bought two clothes from zudio and when i came home I didn't like them that much anymore

I have the receipt, the tag is still on clothes. No damage done

Shirt and jeans

But i bought it on 30 sept and today is 24 oct

Can I still return it

And will I get refund or something else

Does anyone experienced this? Especially for this location of zudio?

Pls respond

I was going through some state/city subs and my god!!! The patriarchal mindset and the misogyny, the regressive attitude. Other tier 1 cities might have progressive pockets, but the way Mumbai functions is something else.

Hey everyone,

My partner and I are looking to do the Kalsubai sunrise night trek, and after descending the next morning, we want to stay nearby for a day or two to chill and recover. We are an unmarried couple.

Instead of booking a trek and a stay separately, we'd prefer an all-in-one package that covers both:

The guided night trek (reaching the peak by sunrise).

Post-trek stay for 1–2 days (private room/cottage, either in/near Bari, Bhandardara lake, or Igatpuri).

A few things we're trying to figure out:

All-Inclusive Packages: Are there any verified operators, travel agencies, or local organizers who handle both the trek and a proper stay together as a bundle?

Quality & Safety (Not Shady): We want to avoid dingy, makeshift base-village rooms or overcrowded shared dorms. We are looking for clean, comfortable, and couple-friendly accommodations (private washrooms, safe environment, zero hassle with unmarried couple IDs).

Tried-and-Tested Recommendations: If you or anyone you know has booked such a package recently, which company or organizer did you go with? How was the stay quality and overall experience?

Self-Booking vs Package: If these combined packages are rare or subpar, would you suggest simply hiring a local Bari guide for the trek and booking a reputable resort/hostel (like MTDC Bhandardara, Anandvan, or The Hosteller Igatpuri) directly on our own?

Also something that offers transport as well like a bus from Borivali or smth

If you know any organizers who provide this, please drop their names or DM their contact details.

Thanks a lot!

Where can I buy a Pixel 9a offline in Mumbai? It's unavailable online elsewhere, and Flipkart is selling it for 50k, which feels way too overpriced.

Does anyone know any sellers or shops in Mumbai that have it in stock? Even a refurbished phone works for me.

I’m expecting to get it around 35k–38k max. Any leads would help!

Hi does anyone know any German classes on western lines? Some where between Borivali to Andheri?

Hey everyone,
I'm a 1st sem BBA student in a tier 2 clg in blr, but the thing is, I DON'T LIKE A SINGLE, NOT A SINGLE DAMN THING abt this clg. Just a bunch of rich, spoilt brats, the arrogant mngmt and it's unnecessarily strict. I genuinely think I will enter into a state of depression if I continue any longer. I can't find value, and I dont see the worth of spending 3 yr in some place you HATE with all your passion. I want to take a drop and take admission in a Mumbai-based college (in AY 26-27). Can y'all plz suggest some govt or MU-affiliated colleges? I want a flexible attendance policy, if that's possible, ofc. And like are there some other exams for autonomous colleges, or is it just MHT-CET?? I'd rlly appreciate if yall answered my query thanks :))

I have a Halloween party coming up and the theme is Bollywood/Hollywood horror.

I was thinking of doing the Akshay Kumar saint costume from Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The orange/yellow saint costume he wears during his entry. Any idea where can I arrange that costume from in Mumbai?

Another idea is Lucifer. Black kurta, and wings would do it. Arranging for wings is the problem.

Vampire is already taken by a friend.

A far fetched idea was Munnabhai and Circuit with blood splatters. Easy costume. But might seem like forcing it - won’t really go with the theme. Thoughts?

Any other ideas you can think of?

Also - know any place where I can arrange the costume from in Mumbai? That’d be super helpful. At this point, any help would be really appreciated. Cheers!

In the movie Lootcase. There is a scene where kunal goes to buy a flat in Mumbai with the money he got from the suitcase.

He has the total amount in cash which he can pay directly. This is what kunal thinks

He introduces himself as a businessman to the sales girl..The sales girl tells him that they usually split the payment in 20 80 scheme where 20% is down payment and 80% is loan or other means. She asks him how is he going to pay the 20%

kunal says he will pay it in cash. To which the sales girl gets shocked. And kunal runs away from there.

Like why can't he pay the 20% down payment as cash ?? Is there something I am missing in the purchase/sale methods in mumbai.

Also why only 20 percent is down payment. Why can't I pay 50% down payment if I have money ??

Hi everyone! Could anyone recommend a good endocrinologist for GLP-1 treatment for weight management, preferably based on your first-hand experience?

Ghatkopar to Thane would be ideal, but I’m open to other locations as well if you’ve had a good experience with a doctor. Would really appreciate any recommendations!

P.S. I already know about Dr. Tanvi Patel and Dr. Madhur Maheshwari, so I’m looking for recommendations apart from them. 😊

I always wondered how women from SOBO look so classy and well dressed, and it's not like a lot of accessories or trendy outfits. But, the outfits look so well put, for the right occasion, and look expensive yet simple. Where do you get those outfits from? And how do you decide what to wear in such humid weather? Any tips would be appreciated. Thankyou.
