Ideas for a basic day out with an old friend before he gets married Context - I’ve got my best friend who’s back in the city after four years in Europe. We haven’t met in six years, and we’ve always stayed in touch via WhatsApp (because I’m not on Instagram or any other social media). His girlfriend doesn’t like him putting in effort to stay in touch with me over WhatsApp—she thinks it’s weird, but we’re *just friends*, nothing more. The thing is, our financial situations couldn’t be more different. He’s had a major glow-up and gone from awkward college kid to a *“man whore”* for... 1 0 replies

How do I stop the furniture labourers to not use my new house's bathrooms? Basically bought a new place and starting interiors. The daily wagers are people who don't give a flying fuck anything and just misuse your premises. They damage the bath fittings, spit everywhere, dirty the room. The red pan masala stains don't go away and I have bought the house with money earned out of my heart and soul and want to build a dream house. While I am trying to figure if I can lock the bathrooms and warn them to use the public washrooms in refugee area, what... 2 0 replies
went to this perfume store tucked in the corners of a dilapidated mall and got molested (for a price) me and a friend randomly went inside this really small ittar ka dukaan. it had a LOT of perfumes and scents and an amazing collection of cool lighters. we played around with them and got a few. we were loud. it was just something new we did and ig it just made our pathetic little lives worth it for a while. the owner also sold vapes I think and even let us take a few puffs (my first time, didn't see the appeal) then came trouble. he started pushing... 5 3 replies
Hotel advice please Hello I'm from Hyderabad and I'm visiting Mumbai for the first time. We are friends of 4 and are looking for decent stays that are affordable at around 1500-2500 per day. However when I looked online, all I could find aren't good and overpriced for the amenities and the locality, and I'm worried about the safety and privacy. We're planning to stay near Shree Siddhivinayak Temple or around Marine Drive (3-5kms away, nearest ones are too expensive). Or you could suggest me any area that's ideal to stay and... 3 0 replies
Police verification for students not living with parents (F 20) - Passport So basically am a student not living with parents (in Mumbai). I will go to the PSK office within this week, and I don't have my student ID or signed certificate from a director with me. I obviously cannot go to my college rn, so what do I do in this situation. Also my address was changed just today in aadhar, I think it is yet to be reflected in E-aadhar, so would the receipt of the address change done at the aadhar seva centre suffice? Tysm 2 3 replies

People, especially auto drivers spitting on roads. So after a lot of months, I travelled across Mumbai, to the outskirts. While I stopped at various traffic signals and even major highways, I noticed so so many people, auto drivers, cab drivers spit paan directly on the road. People opening doors just to spit. It’s such a filthy mess, disgusting civic sense and just horrible. A new setup was built a few meters away from my building boasting posh electronic stores and cafés. The pavements were re made and within 2 weeks of them being made I... 1 3 replies
I don't know what to do So this happened with me recently when one of my guy friend(been friends with him for almost 5+ years now) sent me a very dirty text one night expecting me to revert to that in the same way. But I texted him 'sent to the wrong person' cuz I know he got a gf but for my text he replied ' No, I didn't'. I was shook bcz he did the same thing again and asked him why he would do that. Turns out his girlfriend isn't sexting or... 5 10 replies
I was stopped for holding a vape. Hey all. Just wanted to share an incident that happened with me today. I was heading home from work and my rickshaw had just exited Andheri East on the highway. 2 men on a motorbike suddenly came next to the rickshaw and asked him to stop immediately. The driver constantly asked them what’s wrong but they were not giving him answers and I had my headphones on, scrolling through my phone. Finally, I noticed them and asked them what the problem was, they said it was the vape in... 1 10 replies
Why is mental health check up so expensive? So a week back I got a terrible panic attack and my hands and face got completely stiff. To the point that I could not move my fingers or speak. After experiencing this, I felt restless for the next 2 days as well and then I finally decided to see a psychiatrist to understand that even after 3 years of good therapy why all of a sudden this happened. The doctor told me that my anxiety is out of hand I will be put on medication. The doctor fees... 1 4 replies
Lessons from 1.5 year long relationship Hi everyone, I was in a long-term relationship with the best girl for the past 1.5 years. During the relationship, I learnt a lot of lessons, especially on how girls work and what they want in a relationship...
