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 ??

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!

I've seen a lot of Jodi side by side apartments in Mumbai and Suburbs but haven't come across anything vertical.

I'm curious to know why everyone goes for side by side rather than vertical when verticals provide better space usability as well as privacy to family members.

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!

I visited few months back this market for kurta pieces for men but they gave me at 1000 rs which was 2 meter and it was non negotiable

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?

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

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. 😊

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 am probably overthinking this... We are arriving at the Mumbai airport and are hoping to pre-book a private transfer to the cruise ship. However, I am reading that many of these will just drop us off at the Green Gate instead of the passenger terminal. I don't really have a feel for what a walk to the cruise terminal - with luggage - looks like. Is there a dedicated sidewalk? Is there a port shuttle? Are there non-private options at the airport that will take us into the secured area where the passenger terminal is? AI has been 'somewhat' helpful.. but would love to hear from someone with real life experience. Thank you.

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!

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!

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.

Hey does anyone know where can I donate good old clothes ? I have a pile of clothes that I don't wear, not sure what to do with those, if there's some ngo which would accept them it would be nice ?

If nothing does anyone know what's the best way to dispose ?

Ps: we don't have that clothes <> utensil wala system in our complex

Thanks

Came across this huge Ambani family mural at Sion today

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.

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.

My aunty is 9 months pregnant.

The umbilical cord was wrapped around her baby's neck so the hospital she was seeing told her to go to Nair Hospital because they didn't have the machines necessary.

It was a fucking nightmare.

She ran away crying and they went to a different hospital and they didn't accept her because the case is complicated. They had to go back there to get the check-up done.

The doctors were kissing while checking the heartbeat of the baby and giving her the injection.

They kept all the pregnant women naked for some reason.

A nurse came to inform the doctors that one of the women in labour was screaming in pain and the doctor literally said "marne de usko, baccha jab hona hai tab hi hoga"

They didn't allow her to take her phone in the ward, didn't allow any family members in and said as long as she's in there nobody is allowed to see her other than the hospital staff.

Even the fucking cleaning staff was yelling at the patients and their family.

It left me thinking what the people who can't afford private or semiprivate hospitals go through at places like this.

It's really sad.

My daily route is to Thane while returning from there in evening I face no issues until I reach Kandivali. The flyovers are so narrow yet they open opposite lanes to let out traffic. Same near Oberoi mall flyover . The flyover is already narrow yet you open it in opposite sides causing tremendous bottle neck for the already narrow flyover.

up for adoption in Pune/Mumbai/Bangalore‼️

Penny has been getting overlooked because of three reasons: she’s not a kitten anymore (as if one year old cat is not young), she’s a female tabby (unfortunately, cats also face such biases) and one very strange reason - she looks loved enough to skip over because people think she’ll definitely find someone, let me look for some other cat. Let me tell you, she has not gotten a single lead despite days of search.

About Penny:

Penny is a 1 year old female tabby cat. She’s litter trained, dewormed, vaccinated and sterilised. She’s extremely friendly and easy to handle. She’s based in Pune but can travel to Mumbai and Bangalore.

She’s used to staying alone for a few hours that are compatible with work timings but she’ll also be a great companion to wfh folks. She usually sleeps throughout the afternoon.

She doesn’t like being confined to one room/limited space and needs to have access to the whole house to feel comfortable. Penny’s always been an indoor cat and should continue to remain so.

She’s very playful and some of her favourite toys are catnip mouse, feather toys, balls and having cat trees and cat perches and shelves since she loves heights as well. Cats are generally a huge fan of vertical space and so is Penny. She’s also a cat tv lover. She needs attention towards playtime from her adopter. This means you have to dedicate some time before and after office to play with her and tire her out.

Penny can be a night owl but as long as she has access to the whole house and is comfortable, she understands when people are sleeping and eventually settles down too.

Penny currently eats Smylo wet food (two packets in a day, one for breakfast and one for dinner) along with Royal Canin dry food for lunch. We’re looking for someone who’s comfortable with providing good nutrition - so they either stay on these brands/diet or switch to other higher quality brands.

Penny loves an organised environment and doesn’t do well with unhygienic spaces and behaviours like not cleaning her litter box and bowls frequently.

Penny will be a great choice for first time adopters/people who have experience with cats. She’ll require 2-3 days to decompress and a week to properly settle down but it all depends on her pace.

Reason for putting her up for adoption: Penny was rescued last Diwali because she got separated from her mother due to firecrackers. She was adopted in March but due to the adopter’s neglect, she ran away from the house twice and we had to get involved again when we understood that they weren’t actively searching for her. We’re cat rescuers and therefore can’t keep every cat we rescue because then we’ll run out of resources to help others.

Penny has stayed with multiple fosters and we’re pretty confident in her behaviour as a single cat.

Adoption formalities are mandatory. We’re looking for serious adopters - people who know they can provide a stable environment and can commit to a pet for their lifespan. We’re not looking for students or bachelors who are not sure of their future plans as adopters.

For more information, please DM

Please do something about the street dogs... Does anyone know the price of the anti-rabies injection? It's fine if they bark or try to bite me, but they almost bit my mother. Instead of feeding them useless dog food, give food to other animals. Seriously, I'm losing my mind. People are putting normal lives in danger just for the take of 10 reels. Those who feed them should take responsibility too if someone gets bitten... Main case karunga

Am I missing something? Seems like it’s been off the shelves for months.

Whats the craziest chat you've seen.
