How Is The Life At Mumbai

Is life in Mumbai good?

Life in Mumbai is good. Life is fast. You generally get so busy in doing your chores you hardly realize when the days merge into one another. There're plenty of job opportunities available. There's work in a variety of different sectors. So profession-wise it's a good city to start your career or take a jump if you're already working.You can have a good social life as there are many places to hang out. Cafes, pubs, theaters both for movies and plays, etc. There are many events happening all around the city and with internet finding them isn't a huge task either. Go out make new friends if you're new to the city.   People are very helpful. There're many stories which prove this statement, but I won't get into that as that itself makes for a long answer. The only minuses, I think are the travel time and property prices. These are inter-related. Travel time is usually high because people find it difficult to afford a house near their office, and that is because of the high property prices. (some say inflated property prices, but who can tell.. can anyone?! :P)   Having said all this, life anywhere will depend on what you are looking for. If you're contemplating a move, think of what you want and if the city fits in your scheme of things. Then you'll find any place good!

How is the life of models in mumbai?

This part of life is called “don't know what to do”.The reason I can answer this question is because I stay very close to film city in mumbai and I got many opportunities to be with “actors and models” many of them are my close buddies.You must understand that whatever you want to do in life. It should not depend on others life experiences.And you may not like my answer!Truth is bitterIf you want to know the truth, life is not good here. Your dad is right.. These movies are 100% correct. There is lot of struggle and at every corner people are sitting here to take the advantage.Initially everything looks very good but then you don't know what can happen.. Only rich boys and girls who have a good Backup they come here to do time pass and with money they get every freedom and after spoiling 3–4 years enjoying they go back to their life.And those who are not financially sound they struggle for proper food over here.I have seen close ones in depression, and doing things which no one should ever do.This glamor is fake.. Every opportunity is given to those who got the influence.People will promise you but they will backstab you and leave you spoiledMany people are spoiling their life just because they think this models can do whatever they want.. And earn lot of money.. Hahaha.. They live in hell over here.Think about it your dad loves you and that is the reason he is afraid what you can go through!!!You are 24 years old… You may have a better life with the NRI. No one can predict the future but that's is better option any day.Option 1 - Less risk + mom dad's support = happy lifeOption 2 - Very high risk + no one at your side = depends on luckOption 3 - And you can always get the chance if your NRI man falls in love with you.. And am sure you can convince him later on.. That too out of India.Am not asking you to stop dreaming.. But planning and making a strategy to achieve your goal is the need for now.Above answer is just my opinion and experienceAll the best..

How is life as a bachelor in Mumbai?

It depends upon the mentality of the person. When I came to Mumbai it was totally a new kind of experience for me. The crowd, the whether, the environment. During the first few months I found it difficult to travel in locals during the peak hours (office hours) and I was getting the free body massage for no good reason while going to the office and returning. The real estate prices are mind boggling.One of the primary reason, why I was facing difficulties was just because I was coming from the paradise (Jammu&Kashmir). There was no peace, no hills and no fresh air to breath.I still remember my first day in Mumbai, I was sweating like hell and I puked a lot due to excessive dehydration. Slowly I found groups in local, we all knew each other by face and their nick names.The life is very hectic out there in Mumbai and the people has changed into machines from humans.No matter how well you get dressed, while leaving the local your polished shoes and your formals will be dirty like hell. The coaches of local accommodate 500 persons where there is a capacity of 200 only.So living here in Mumbai may turn into hardship until you are not into executive level.Your daily life will be nothing else then local and your job.Its been six months for me in Mumbai but at the end of the day still I am unable to be happy.The city has tons of opportunity as a professional, but if you are looking for peace and self satisfaction, DONT COME TO MUMBAI. Still I have a strong belief that if a person is there in Mumbai for more then a year, for sure the life span of the person will reduce but the city will give you plenty of experience as a fresher and a struggler. You will come to know the real meaning of struggle. My relationship was ruined because I was unable to give time into it and far more I feel myself like 30 but I am just 21. At the end everyone should experience the life of Mumbai but don't ever plan to settle for a long run because the consequence may be more adverse.Things to enjoy in Mumbai are the street foods, marine lines and the rain. This is my experience about the city and you will get to know more when you actually visit the city.A walk in the marine lines at night at the carter road can give you peace otherwise its really difficult to find out time for yourself.

How's college life in Mumbai?

Mumbai is like a drug, one whiff of it and you will always keep coming back for more and be addicted for life.Your life as a student in Mumbai total depends on how you wish to enjoy it.You will come across a lot of people daily if you travel by train, you get to meet new people as well as observe new people everyday and learn a lot about life in Mumbai. Just be ready to travel and open to meeting new people and interacting with them, you'll soon be their “Bhai” or “Boss” and chances are you'll come across them again.As far as my life goes, I love the travel part!Most of the time you'll be travelling depending upon the location of your college, I personally spend 3 hours everyday just to travel, but its totally fun.And since you're specifically talking about Mumbai, you know how Mumbai University works, hectic schedule,unnecessary assignment and the 75% attendance policy and if you aren't familiar with it, you'll get used to it, even though you'll complain about it every damn time you sit to write your assignments which will be just copy paste but you gotta do what you gotta do my friend, there's no escape from that shit.(You can sense the frustration right here!)You'll love Mumbai's college life, if you have the right people to enjoy it with!Cheers, have a great day!

Where should I go? Mumbai or Shanghai?

Shanghai, most definitely. Don't take my word for it, instead see the videos below for yourself. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then I wonder what videos are worth:

Mumbai (the most cosmopolitan and developed city in India):
1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rcf3Wvs7Pjk
2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkikPFdY_-E
3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIaq_5GNI1I
* Note that 3) shows Mumbai slums because more than half of Mumbai's population live in them. So the video shows well the average living standard for the majority of Mumbai residents.

Shanghai:

2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq-pfdQr6-k&feature=related
3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oixU6l5N9k

See a contrast? Hopefully this helps with your decision making. As for myself, I visited Shanghai last year, for a week on a business trip. I must say I would be very comfortable living there, permanently.

Mumbai? I will pass, unless I am sent there as a punishment.

Which is more comopoliton mumbai or delhi?

Defintely Mumbai... this is a city where women can work, live and manage on their own. Its relatively safer in comparision to Delhi to travel alone even at night. There are 24*7 cabs available. Try taking a cab in Delhi post 7pm and chances are very high that the driver is drunk. Eve teasing is lesser in Mumbai. The people of Mumbai are more chilled and cultural biases are minimal (or at least as minimal as they can get in a culturally inclined country like India). The night spots have more variety and dress style less constrictive.
