New to Mumbai City

Mumbai... a city that never sleeps and never ceases to amaze you in every way.

But beware!!! Cause this city is going to make you really, really tired.

I moved to Mumbai for further studies in 2013. It has been almost a decade since I moved to this dream city. There are multiple things that I totally LOVEEE about this city but something that really made my Mumbai journey easy is its very accepting culture that welcomes people from everywhere in the world.

After a decade year of experience, Here is what I can tell:

1. Mumbai is a land of opportunities as every other MNC has its office here. Hence ample job opportunities for freshers.

2. Local trains are literally lifelines here. So if you are going to travel during peak hours in the local train then I wish you luck ;)

3. Work hard and party harder is the motto here. Saturdays and Sundays are the party days in Mumbai and hence you will see a massive rush at restaurants, cafes, pubs etc.

4. House hunting is going to be a TASK!!! At first, I was staying in my college hostel but once I got done with my graduation I had to find a new place to live. I spent almost 2 months looking here and there...from one broker to another...from one local PG to another local hostel... It was all hectic. But then finally I found my comfy and cozy home through this website named .

5. Mumbai's never-ending traffic!!! Do you really want me to talk about this?? LOL

6. This city celebrates each and every festival with great unity and gusto. Mumbai lits up during the festive season which makes this city even more beautiful.

7. You really need to watch your eating habits. Mumbai will get you super addicted to eating out. From drool-worthy roadside chat to fancy cafes... Mumbai got it all. So you better keep a watch on how much you are spending on food. Go home and cook a meal...I know it's tough but come on you can do this ;)

8. Marathi...you must know a few basic words of this language if you want to survive in this city. Every other person here talks in Marathi.

I know I have not covered a lot in this but even if I had to cover everything, it will take a whole day (or even more) for me to note everything down cause I can go on and on...
