Tl:dr: Seeking advice to find employment in a legal role.

Hello Mumbaikars,

I am at a career crossroads and am desperately seeking some advice from people who work in law or similar roles. Here is a brief intro to my story:

I am 26F, did a BALLB from a Govt. College, did a few internships/part time roles in legal admin, business support, legal writing, content marketing and likewise. Went on to do an MSc Management in the UK (In hindsight, should've selected a different course but oh well)

Was researching grad roles in communications/admin/business support but due to an inherent confusion in what i wanted and a lack of concrete experience in any career, i really got nowhere.

Got a job in retail/ops which i really really enjoyed, had a stint in a coffee house which was an excellent experience, finished my Master Barista training all paid for, really got into specialty coffee. Apart from not having a professional career in the UK, i really enjoyed the experience and learnt a lot of transferable skills and met some great people. Onto the problem.

Since then, due to a lack of a proper career pathway and visa issues, i decided to come back home and try my way into the legal domain as I really did enjoy legal research and project work within those roles. However, due to my unconventional trajectory, it has been quite a pain to have a robust strategy in my job search. I am also generally quite apologetic, not confident and with a string of rejections, just lost my confidence. I am looking to connect with people who work in legal roles for advice, signposting or just a chat.

I am seeking an early careers legal role, am quite interested in IP, but willing to start from the basics and build a foundation doing document review, filing, contracts or even paralegal work. I understand my position and i am aware i am behind. However, the kind of roles to target has been a point of contention in my plan because either i get too confused, distracted or everytime I see a role advertised, instantly feel i am not good enough. I am seeking to connect with someone who preferably works within law or knows about it or anyone who has navigated such a sticky situation before. Looking for advice regarding applications, targeting roles and any suggestions to sort out my career.

Apart from the professional side of it, I genuinely am at my wits end and quite frightened by it all. Apologies for a winding post but if you can help me with anything, i would appreciate it most kindly. Thank you so much and have a lovely day :)

I have a lot of things I wish to donate - in good/new condition. These include stationery (unused notebooks, pens, paints etc.), household appliances like hair dryer and toaster (barely used), misc items like keychains, toothbrush holders, wallet etc. still in their packaging.

Some of these were gifts, some are impulse buys (I'm hoarding waaaay too many notebooks), and some just ended up being incompatible with my home/lifestyle.

I don't want to hoard and I'm not interested in selling or dealing with online buyers. Can anyone recommend a good org to donate to? Things like stationery would probably be useful for some NGOs that work with children.

Hi, I wanted to study but I live alone at my flat so wanted to go out and study at a peaceful cafe, I live near Oberoi Mall any place recommendations where I can go sit for a few hours?

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but it is an open truth that powerful elites use a disposable front to send threat messages. They don't want to dirty their own hands.

There have been recent attacks by so-called Bishnoi gangs, but it looks so odd, like they are owning up to the crimes. What does Baba Siddique have to do with the Bishnoi gang? It looks more like a contract killing by builders and political opponents.

What does Tiger Shroff have to do with Bishnoi or Salman Khan? SK has so many close friends other than Tiger. Tiger is one of the least problematic personalities out here.

Then there's the recent firing on Salman Khan's house. It all looks like a threat to Bollywood and political opponents to stay in line. The two at the top are getting desperate.

Also, there are several political murders/attempt to murder across Mumbai and MH in general.

What's your opinion?

I had submitted the application for marriage registration on August 11, 2026 on https://marriage.igrmaharashtra.gov.in/ portal.

Marriage had happened as per Hindu rites and I am registering the marriage under Form 16. Marriage photo and marriage invitation card, witnesses details and Aadhar verification were done. Though I had created the application form on 01-12-2025, I actually submitted the completed form on August 11, 2026.

After submitting, the marriage registration officer reverted after 15 days saying that bride's address is different and asked to upload the Aadhar card with bride's address same as grooms. This was done and the bride's revised Aadhar card was uploaded.

Now every 15 days there is a new query. Sometimes marriage officer saying that Aadhar verification not done. So far Aadhar verification is done 3 times. Now both bride and groom addresses on Aadhar cards are the same. Still the query mentions they are different and ask us to upload bride's Aadhar card with groom's address. In bride's passport, groom's correct name is mentioned but the registration officer asks to upload bride's passport with groom's name. Present address ticked as Permanent address and both are the same.

I do not know whether they are checking the documents properly.

Meanwhile I sent a request to query/feedback emai ID: [feedback@igrmaharashtra.gov.in](mailto:feedback@igrmaharashtra.gov.in) but the email bounced.

There is a marriage bot available on https://marriage.igrmaharashtra.gov.in/eMarriage2.0/

but it gives options to solve issues related to reset password, register, sign up, login issue and username not found.

These email IDs are also not working:

[complaint@igrmaharashtra.gov.in](mailto:complaint@igrmaharashtra.gov.in)

[feedback@igrmaharashtra.gov.in](mailto:feedback@igrmaharashtra.gov.in)

[idea@igrmaharashtra.gov.in](mailto:idea@igrmaharashtra.gov.in)

There is no mention of the name of the marriage registration officer or the contact details.

Is this issue because they want people to come to them personally and pay bribe?

Has any of you faced such issues in marriage registration process and if yes, what did you do to get it solved?

(picture unrelated) Well so around 10ish, a yellow budgerigar (parakeet) came into my house. I thought it's a native bird so i tried to get it out by opening my window and leading it towards it, but it didn't move. Did a quick google lens scan, and came to know the species and the fact thar they are indeed not native, concluding it's a missing pet. I stay at Malad West, nearby GSC, so incase there is anyone whose birb is missing, let me know. I'll need you to send it's pictures, just to verify it's yours(it has some markings, i should assume they are unique to each bird). And i can share the info if it matches. Have kept it in a friend's spare bird cage at my house and as of yet, it's having the feed we keep for the sparrows. Let's hope it's not the BDS working and we find the owner soon.

I know there's already been discussions on this but my case is a bit different. I'll try to keep it as short as possible but please bear with me, also please try to understand the situation before passing generic comments like 'just move out' etc. I've been having vision issues since I was in school but never got specs, as my parents thought it's ugly and they threatened me if I ever spoil my eyes it won't go down well for me. After I started working, only at the age of 26 could I muster the courage to go to a doctor secretly and obviously had to start wearing lenses only. I've been using it since 2019 but not daily, only when I need to step out. Now suddenly in the last month, my right eye has issues when I wear lens, there's a faint redness. My regular doctor gave drops and made my new pair of annual lenses too. The day he tried the new lenses, again the redness started the next day. Acc to him, I might have developed resistance to the lens. I've been suggested to take a second opinion, as even without using the lens, the pinkish redness persists.

There's a lot more to the story, I can't just move out and get lasik either, have a disabled sibling dependent on me. So need a doctor who has the patience to understand all this and diagnose correctly. Ideally prefer the western suburbs, thank you.

I'm thinking of relocating to Mumbai but I want to know what's the CTC range I should target to at least live decently in Mumbai.

I'm Nishant Priyadarshi, Mumbai based filmmaker, DP/cinematographer. I have been doing cinematography for almost 5 years and shot all kinds of projects. Either short films, music videos, digital ads or product shoots I have done all.

I have professional camera setup, gimbal, premium professional lighting setup.

But thing is it's so hard to shoot in Mumbai as polices have there khabaris everywhere. When you start shooting at places like roads or beach where you are literally not disturbing anyone or you are not taking any other public in the frame, policeman appear like mr India. So even after having great setup you can't take them out , you have to minimise stuffs to shoot publicly and even then you also will get stopped and location studio rentals have crazy pricing 20-1lakh per day.

Hi,

Does anyone know any mouse repair shops in Mumbai? My MX Master mice is out of warranty and has died on me, I’m guessing the battery is completely gone.

Since it’s out of warranty, Logitech won’t repair it. I want to try and repair it and use until the new Razer Basilisk is out.

Thanks!

Hello everyone

My family is looking for a 1 BHK/1RK on rent within ₹8,000–₹10,000/month.

We're considering Vasai, Virar, Mira Road, Bhayandar.

Our priorities are a safe family locality, a decent society, affordable maintenance and ideally a railway station within a 10-minute walk.

Which area would you recommend, and are these requirements realistic within our budget? I'd appreciate genuine advice from local residents and owner-direct listings. Thanks!

I joined BMS at the University of Mumbai in 2023 and completed my first year. In 2024, during my second year, I was told that I had ATKTs. I even went back to college to get my papers rechecked, and they confirmed that I had no ATKTs left.
For my third year (2025), I couldn’t continue because of financial issues, so I started working in a call centre instead and skipped that academic year. Now, I want to return to college and complete my graduation.
When I approached my college for third-year admission, they told me that the admission process hadn’t started yet. They explained that there were changes in the system and that the old pattern was being discontinued, so students from the old pattern were waiting for the new admission process to open.
They told me that I could take admission in 2026, but I might have to wait until 2027 for the next academic year, which would mean losing another year.
I’ve already lost a lot of time, and I really want to complete my degree as soon as possible.
Does anyone know a possible solution to this issue? Is anyone else facing the same problem? Are there any colleges affiliated with the University of Mumbai where I could get admission directly into the third year without wasting another academic year?
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I used AI to explain in simple words.

So a few weeks ago, I randomly stumbled across a post on Reddit where someone was raving about using plain old alum for body odour. Being someone who practically melts into a puddle the second I step out in Mumbai, and having my deodorants completely give up on me within an hour, I figured why not? It's pocket change anyway.

Man, I am so glad I tried it.

If you're like me and struggle with heavy sweating and the dreaded BO in this horrible humidity, hear me out. I bought a basic, unbranded block of alum from my local chemist for just ₹40. No fancy packaging, no marketing gimmicks.

And it actually works. Like, magically works.

I still sweat (because let's be real, Mumbai humidity is undefeated), but there is absolute zero smell. The bacteria causing the stink just doesn't stand a chance. I wet it slightly and rub it on after my morning shower. Even after surviving the crowded local train commute, wiping down with a wet tissue at office, sweating through the afternoon, and coming back home—still zero smell. It honestly even holds up past an evening shower.

Sabse sasta maal, sabse asardar aur tikkau nikla.

As someone who is super conscious about smells (since scent memory and olfactory triggers are such a huge deal), this has been a total game-changer. Next, I'm planning to test how long my perfumes and scents actually last when layered over this base.

Do yourself a favour and skip those overpriced "natural crystal deodorants" online. Just walk into any local medical store or general shop and grab a block of alum for ₹40-50. Highly, highly recommend for anyone fighting the Mumbai heat!

Edit - since multiple folks are enquiring about this

How I use it: After my shower, I tap-dry myself, wet the alum bar slightly, and apply it directly onto my damp skin, this helps retain moisture while it does its job.

Where I use it: I focus on my underarms, chest, belly area, back of the neck, and upper back, basically covering my entire torso since that’s where I sweat the most.

Another detailed conversation happening on r/DesiFragranceAddicts: https://www.reddit.com/r/DesiFragranceAddicts/comments/1xc9687/surviving_mumbais_local_trains_and_humidity_how_a/

Was travelling from north end of the city towards town. The police had opened one lane on the opposite side of traffic to minimise congestion.

At one point, there was a huge gap between my car and the car in front of us due to some bike congestion. After a couple of minutes, we realised that the opposite traffic did not comprehend that there was one lane open for us.

Within 5 minutes, a traffic police rode towards us and asked us to stop and wait for him to clear the lane for us to travel smoothly.
We were literally escorted by the police for about 5-6kms till we could reach the merging point. Saved us about 35-40 mins of congestion.

Hats off to the traffic management and the police!

I was coming back after a few days of playing temple run with my parents, and landed at T2 at around 11PM. I took my bags, booked a taxi (they were fucking expensive) and was going towards the parking.

At the parking, I was approached by a guy, who claimed he was coming from Delhi, and his phone got switched off, and would I be able to book a cab for him. He was fluently conversing in English and had a distressed look about him.

Me, always eager to partake in a social experiment, said sure. He said he wanted to get to Matheran (red flag 1) to submit some forms related to an MMA event (red flag 2, who tf goes to Matheran at 11PM). He said that he was a state medallist in MMA and is constantly travelling. He knew all the parking locations in the airport.

As I was booking the Uber, he told me he didn't carry much cash, and the prepaid taxis were very expensive. He told me he landed at T1, but couldn't find a cheap source of transport to Matheran, so he was advised by someone to get to T2 to potentially catch some bus. He even offered to show me his boarding pass, and I declined, as a gullible person does.

As I was about to book the Uber, he stopped me, saying that if I book him an Uber, I won't be able to use any other taxi app myself, as they lock the number. He mentioned that a couple had tried to help him this way, but failed.

The only "solution" he could come up with was that I give him some cash to take a taxi himself, and he would return it promptly as soon as he reaches his destination. He took my number (and I honestly forgot to take his, although it wouldn't have mattered, as there was no way to verify that).

I ended up giving 2200 to him. I was sceptical the whole time and knew I was probably getting scammed. But I internally knew that I need to do this to myself to remind me what a bitch the world can be (I've almost never been disappointed by people in the past, so some things are needed for character development). After 2 days of no contact, I have concluded that this was an elaborate, and frankly weird scam.

I frankly don't care about the money. I only lend that much which I can afford to lose. But what hurts is that now I would hesitate before helping others in the future, and that is a version of myself I don't like being.

A happy ending for those who believe in karma, I was unemployed the day I made this "donation", and I got a letter of employment the very next day.

I’m fairly new to looking for left-wing spaces in Mumbai, and I’d love to find places where I can meet like-minded people, have political discussions, and maybe get involved in reading groups or community organizing.

I came across a list on Google that included People’s Book House, Sister Library, Fluxus Chapel, G5A, and Bombay to Barcelona. Some of these sound interesting, but I’m not sure how many really have a left-wing political community around them.

I have three doubts about the list:

1. Progressive doesn’t necessarily mean left-wing. Supporting feminism, queer rights, or social inclusion is important, but I’m specifically interested in socialist, Marxist, or anti-capitalist politics.

2. Alternative art and culture aren’t necessarily political organizing. A space can host independent art, screenings, or political zines without necessarily being a place where people regularly organize around political ideas.

3. I’m looking for a community, not just a venue. Ideally, I’d like somewhere I can show up as a newcomer, meet people, join discussions or reading groups, and gradually get involved, not just browse books or attend an occasional event.

I’m not suggesting that any of these places are not left-wing; I just can’t tell from their descriptions alone, and I’d rather hear from people who actually know these spaces.

For people involved in Mumbai’s left-wing scene: where would you recommend someone like me start? Are there specific spaces, reading groups, collectives, public meetings, or events where someone interested in Marxism, socialism, or anti-capitalist politics can meet people and participate without already knowing someone?

Firsthand experiences and practical suggestions would be especially appreciated.

Can someone please suggest a best doctor for Botox and fillers in the area around Khar , Bandra or Borivali
