Why every house or flat here have a leakage problem? spent my childhood in a government house in Mumbai that was full of leakages and mold.

But here in Mumbai, almost every home I’ve... 1 0 replies

You can never "become RICH" in Mumbai You can never become rich in Mumbai by working a job; you can become well off, upper middle class, but never rich, and not even crazy rich; but "regular" rich.

Small jazz, blues, or other specialty music venues? HI! I'll be spending a few weeks in Mumbai and would love to find some intimate venues to see some music in (ideally under 100 people, but up to a few hundred is fine). I *especially* love live jazz, but am into a diversity of music genres, so if there's great non-jazz spots, let me know! Even restaurants or bars that have reliably great music are good. TIA! 2 0 replies
