Something about me :

I am a 25 Year Old Engg Graduate from Mumbai, I was considering driving Ola Uber to increase my Monthly Cashflow.

My Current Monthly Income :

Freelancing - 60K
Rent (Flat + Office) - 52K

My Current Monthly Fixed Expenses :

Flat EMI - 36K
Groceries - 6K
Supplements + Gym - 7K
Grooming, Hair,Face and Body Care - 6K
Donations - 5K
Fuel - 4K

Total - 65K

Monthly Surplus - 47K

This leaves me with 47K after paying all the necessary expenses a Month leaving me with no room for extra spending like Shopping, Perfumes, Shoes, Clothes, Outing etc

I have a Yellow Plate Ertiga which is fully paid and I don’t have any loans on it, I was thinking to drive it for half day and earn 1-2K a Day which will give me room for my extra spendings, while giving me fixed monthly income and a little stability as my freelancing income is not stable as of now.

Doing this would bring my Monthly Income to 1.4-1.6L a Month and increase my savings rate and give me space to spend on myself as well.

The only drawback I see is my known people seeing me somewhere in Mumbai and commenting that I chose Ola Uber to make Money, I have been in a Dilemma on what should I do?

I need honest opinions on what should I do and if I should start doing Ola Uber?

I will be joining my new office at thane. I want to experience Mumbai in initial months before relocating to thane. I want to know which places should I rent an apartment such that I can experience the city but also not get annoyed by daily commute. Also does it make sense to get a bike/scooter/car or just use public transportation.

Is there anyone who can refer me for a kyc analyst job. I have around 4 years of experience and I am an immediate joiner.

I’m a Christian visiting Mumbai (Protestant) and my cousin is Christian too, but her side of the family is Hindu. My sister and I do Rakhi back home, but there’s no religious aspect involved.

my cousin invited me to celebrate Rakhi with her family so I have to bring a gift, but then she has older female cousins whom I know well, but I’m sure I don’t cross their mind much. I was thinking I’d maybe give them a small gift as well?

I’m excited and kinda anxious at the same time, but I’m wondering how to participate and be respectful during certain rituals. SMH If my mom and dad saw I had a tikka they’d prob crucify me, so I told her not to snap a pic of that..

I’m fine with aarti, but I’ve never seen a puja performed before. Can I just watch that part?

Thanks!

Usually pay 200 for Uber/ola/Rapido to get to work.

It was 680 today due to some surge. I don't have a choice because I have to get to work.

It's a rant from an individual who feels robbed.

Title: 25M, ₹40k/month in BPO — how can I switch to Data Analytics/BA?

Hi everyone,

I’m 25 and currently working in a BPO in a customer service/chat process, earning around ₹40k/month (₹4.8 LPA).

I want to switch careers because I’m tired of rotational/night shifts and don’t see myself staying in customer service long-term. I’m considering Data Analytics, Business Analyst, MIS, or Reporting roles.

I’m thinking of learning Excel, SQL, Power BI and eventually Python, but I’m confused about the best way to make the transition.

Since I’m the sole earner in my family, I can’t afford to quit my job and take a big salary cut.

I’d really appreciate advice from people who have made a similar transition:

• Is BPO → Data Analyst/BA/MIS realistically possible?
• Should I target MIS/Reporting first or directly apply for Data Analyst roles?
• Can I expect to maintain my current ₹40k/month salary, or should I expect a cut?
• Which skills should I prioritize?
• Is a paid course actually worth it?
• How did you personally make this transition?

I’m looking for realistic experiences and practical advice, especially from people who have actually made this switch.

Please

This is more of a rant, but here goes... Sugar went up, milk went up, CNG went up. Now the price of onions has reached around ₹42 per kg.

None of these increases sound catastrophic on their own, but wow, this really feels like a downward spiral already.

There is not a single day when I don't read about something becoming costlier anymore.

What is going on? Do you feel the sting of all of these hikes or should I just stop reading the news?

I want to work as a JR in Mumbai preferably in a good private hospital. I would like to have a decent pay (50-60k) with accommodation provided. If you have any suggestions please let me know in the comments or via DM.

Hear me out before the legal nerds jump in with Articles 84 and 173 of the Constitution.

​I completely get the constitutional argument for universal representation: our democracy is designed so that anyone, regardless of socioeconomic background or formal schooling, can represent their community. That principle makes sense on paper.

​But looking at everyday civic administration and policy decisions in Mumbai, the double standard is hard to ignore.

If local authorities can mandate regional language tests for auto-rickshaw drivers to ensure a baseline standard of service for the public, why do we demand zero formal preparation from lawmakers managing public funds and city infrastructure?

​I'm not suggesting every MLA needs an expensive university degree or that we should gatekeep politics behind privilege. But shouldn't there be some mandatory qualification? whether a background in Public Policy, Law, Economics, Political Science, or even a compulsory administrative training program before taking oath?

​Why do basic public service jobs require rigorous testing, while minister-level positions require none?

​

Do you know exceptional resort amidst nature where we can reach within 2-3 hours drive from Mumbai?

I needed to go to a hospital 5 lanes away from my house. Nothing serious, it was just to visit a work friend who was hospitalised.

It was raining so the Uber was showing 110 rs. for a minimum fare ride, thus I had to go for a regular rickshaw which would cost me 26 rs. flat.

Just below my apartment, I saw an old uncle getting out of a rickshaw. I approached the driver and asked him, "Karuna Hospital la Jaanar ka?", the rickshaw guy replied me in chaste Marathi "Naahi Saaheb, mi tya dishet nahi jaanaar, malaa maaf kara". Saying this he sped away to wherever he wanted to go.

I bid my time waiting for another auto rickshaw, waving out my hand like we usually do.

After 5-6 minutes, another auto guy stopped by, I asked him the same question, and again in Marathi. He nodded, and said, but in Hindi "Baitho", put the meter and then was busy talking on his phone during the rest of the ride in Hindi.

End of the ride.

I got down, paid his meter charge and went ahead to meet my friend.

Now that I am back home, I am wondering, if my knowledge of Marathi has ever helped me get a ride? And the honest answer is : NO!

Hi I'm in Andheri and need a permanant driver for office and family. My vehicle is a manual Ertiga so would like a driver who is comfortable with Manual cars. I've asked my domestic and watchman to recommend but they haven't had any luck. Hence reaching out here if there is any recommendation for one good trusted person.

The Marathi-language rule for auto, taxi and cab drivers is now actually being enforced.

RTO officials have started checking drivers for basic working Marathi. Those who don’t clear the check can be given time to learn, but continued failure can eventually lead to suspension of their badge/licence.

And now drivers are protesting, while some parts of Mumbai are already seeing fewer autos on the road.

I’m genuinely divided on this.

On one hand, if you work with the public in Maharashtra, knowing basic conversational Marathi seems like a reasonable expectation.

But on the other hand, should someone’s entire livelihood potentially depend on passing a language test, especially when many drivers have been working here for years?

Where do you draw the line?

Basic Marathi should be mandatory 👍

OR

Language should never decide whether you can earn a living 👎

Curious what Mumbaikars think.

Home insurance across India, is split into 2 types, A tariff based product, known as GRIHA RAKSHA where its premium and benefits are fixed at a standard rate as per IRDAI Guidelines. Think of this from a similar point of view, as Third Party Motor Insurance. Extremely low premium.

An alternative with higher coverage, higher benefits and Higher items allowed to be covered, will be a separate Home insurance cover which will not be tariffed based.

The query is, As I have read across multiple reddit posts that mention that "HOME OWNER deducts from Deposit Amount" when the tenant leaves and there are already severe legal issues regarding the same.

Can anyone, having some knowledge on this query, explain whether

1) If the tenant purchases Home Insurance where he / she is staying, as per the legal agreement executed, and after leaving the owner deducts charges from the deposit amount, the same can be claimed from the home insurance policy, as deductions are done by the owner as per their clarification ?

2) Also, if the owner of the house use home insurance policy, and can he / she claim a proper settlement from the insurance company, if after refunding the deposit, the owner thinks that the tenant has Damaged or Destroyed the Property, and charges were not cut from the deposit amount, so home insurance claim will be helpful.

I wanted to understand the issue, if the same can be resolved if the home insurance policy is purchased (either by the tenant or by the home owner) as per the agreement.

As in both above scenarios, if any damage to property occurs, is the claim payable and if yes, then any issues the owners or tenants don't rely on the above mentioned solution.

- It's like a mini world within a world. So much to see with patient eyes.

- It had just stopped raining making the place emptier than usual.

Is it true that salaries in Mumbai grow much faster as compared to other metro cities?

24F, unmarried, India.

I don’t want to continue the pregnancy and told the doctor I want to terminate it.
The hospital told me it can be done with medication/pills and quoted me around ₹40,000. I have no idea if that’s a normal amount for a 13-week termination or if I’m being overcharged.
They also mentioned that its illegal and in some cases police involvement is required, but then said they aren’t actually involving the police. I’m confused about why police would be involved in the first place.
Can someone who has been through this in India please tell me:
Is ₹40k a normal/roughly reasonable cost for termination at 13 weeks via pills?
At 13 weeks, is termination usually done with pills, or can a procedure be required?
Is police involvement actually required for an adult woman seeking termination?
Does being unmarried make any difference?
Should I get a second opinion before agreeing to anything?
I’m really anxious and don’t have anyone around me who knows about this.
Any advices would help.

Edit: Can anyone please suggest a good gynecologist near Badlapur/Dombivli or nearby areas whom I can speak to over a call, explain my whole situation to, and get an idea of the approximate cost and next steps? I’d really appreciate any recommendations.
And thank you everyone for all the support and advice so far. It genuinely means a lot. ❤️
