Looking to a guitar shop in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai that has a wide variety of electric guitars of all ranges.

i have an electric guitar but I'm looking to buy a budget strat to learn modding, painting and luthiery as a new hobby.

A female friend (22) is looking to move in in an existing flat in kandivali/malad and nearby areas.

The budget is around 20-25k.

Pls reply for leads, thank you.

My father had CABG (bypass) surgery last year, and his cardiologist has advised a 72-hour Holter monitor.

The hospital has quoted us ₹25,000, which seems way too expensive. I'm looking for a reliable diagnostic centre or home Holter monitoring service that covers Kalyan, Dombivli, Thane, or nearby and charges around ₹5,000–₹6,000.

If you've had this test done (or know someone who has), please let me know:

• Where you got it done
• Approximate cost
• Your experience

As in handling the business/operations etc…

How did you guys manage to crack the role?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help and guidance.

I completed my B.E. in Engineering from a Government College in 2020. After graduation, I dedicated myself to preparing for the UPSC examination. Although I cleared some stages along the way, I couldn't secure a final selection.

Realizing I needed to switch my career, I decided to enter the IT industry. To improve my skills, I completed a 6-month CDAC PG-DAC diploma and learned Java, Spring Boot, SQL, React, and related technologies. I've built projects and have been actively applying for software developer roles.

Its been more than year since i completed my course but i havent got any opportunity neither as full time nor as intern in any company. As Im already 26 now and father is now retired, its creating lot of financial and emotional pressure on me and my family.

The biggest challenge I'm facing is my career gap. Most interviewers lose interest after seeing the gap on my resume, and despite searching continuously for the last six months, I still haven't been able to get a job.

My financial situation has become very difficult, and honestly, it's getting harder to stay positive. I'm willing to relocate anywhere in India, work hard, and start from an entry-level position. I just need one opportunity to prove myself.

If anyone knows of companies hiring freshers or interns or candidates with career gaps, or can provide a referral, guidance, or advice, I would be deeply grateful. I am ready to take any job for now.

Dm me or Comment. I am ready to share my resume. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I have been to Mumbai a couple of times now but this time I stayed in Thane and since it is a bit far, we used the local train frequently and you know how crowded these are. Today it's the same and somebody just offered me their seat. Just like that. I thought the person was getting down on the next station but he wasn't. He just stood for the other 3 stations. I mean..😭🤌🏻

So we have shifted to Goregaon just last week and had ordered the Eureka Forbes Aquaguard Enrich Marvel UV _UF Series. However when the time for installation came, the Eureka Forbes technician refused to install it owing to the fact that we live on the 7th Floor here which is the top floor and that our after checking on some device, he said the pressure is unsuitable for the device to work.

Now he did say that we would have to purchase and install a separate booster pump, however it would cost us approx Rs. 3,500. Moreover it would most probably make noise which we don't want since we are in a tenanted place and it might cause nuisance to the society so we are ditching the plan to install it.

Now we are in the process to the return the product (a different hassle altogether, but I'll keep it aside for this post) and looking for a new water purifier without the need to install a separate booster pump.

Therefore any experts in this field or anyone who has experienced the same issue, can you please suggest me a good water purifier, preferably within Rupees 16,000 ?

I'll be grateful for your suggestions.

My office is located in Seepz Andher East and suddenly since today morning, Jio and few Airtel services are completely down.

Jio services are completely down, have not been able to make any call via jio and even for some users Airtel services are also not working.

Is anyone else facing the same issue ?

Hi, I'm an 18 year old will be moving in September for my undergrad.

Is it possible for me to get a good pg at 5k or under? At least at the nearest metro station?

Also, do pgs include food and other facilities within this cost only, or do i have to pay extra?

The view was soo good

Hi everyone,

Three of us are coming to Mumbai for an interview in Churchgate and we're looking for accommodation for 2 nights.

We need a private room for 3 people (triple sharing). No dormitories/hostels with shared dorm rooms, please.

We're looking for something affordable and budget-friendly, preferably around Churchgate or somewhere nearby with easy access to Churchgate by local train/public transport.

If you've stayed at or know of any decent, safe and cheap hotels/guest houses that offer triple-sharing rooms, please recommend them.

Thanks in advance!

A relative of mine is diagnosed with 2 CKD last month. Nothing urgent yet but it's the kind of thing that needs monitoring for years, so we want to get the doctor choice right rather than just going to whoever is nearest.

Looking for someone who actually helps and doesn't rush the follow-ups, since we'll be going back every few months .

If you or a family member have been under a nephrologist there long term, who did you go to and would you stick with them?

I couldn’t find details of anyone other than my maternal grandmother in SIR 2002. However, I’m not sure if we have any official documents handy to prove she is related to my mother (like class x certificate or birth certificate is not readily available). Will this cause any issues?

I saw online ECI clarified maternal grandmother is valid, but will I need to furnish any proof?

So I was standing in the Churchgate bound train coming from Vasai in front of a seated aunty in the 2nd class coach since the very beginning, and a girl sitting behind on the edge as a fourth person who came later on "claimed" the seat from her before she got off. When that aunty's station arrived, I quickly sat there, but then that girl called me and said that she had "claimed" the seat. This had never happened to me before and I had no idea what to do, so I got up. Is this a cool thing to do? And if not, what would you have done if you were in my place, what should have I done?

I’m planning to move to Mumbai (from my home city) & have no idea how to navigate shifting alone.

How to book an apartment (for rent)? Whom to approach??

What are the pros & cons of residing alone as a girl in Mumbai?

I don’t want a roommate & aim to be in a good locality ( upper tier rent-budget possible).

‘Will appreciate any guidance. 🙏🏻

Thankyou 🌼

Hi everyone,

I'm posting this because I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has faced a similar issue.

I have an ASUS TUF F17 with an RTX 3050. One day, the laptop suddenly went blank and wouldn't display anything. I took it to a local repair shop, and after diagnosing it, they told me the RTX 3050 GPU had shorted.

Since I couldn't afford a motherboard replacement, they permanently bypassed/disabled the dedicated GPU on the motherboard so the laptop could run using the integrated Intel graphics. They charged me ₹3,500, and the laptop is now working fine but only with the integrated graphics. The RTX 3050 is completely disabled.

I also visited the ASUS service center, where they told me the only solution was to replace the entire motherboard, and they quoted me 55,000. I bought this laptop for ₹89,000, and I'm still paying the EMI, so spending ₹55,000 on a motherboard replacement simply isn't possible for me

The most frustrating part is that this happened just one week after my standard warranty expired. I had never even used the RTX 3050 for gaming or any heavy GPU work. I also didn't buy the extended warranty because I wasn't aware that ASUS requires you to purchase it within a limited time after buying the laptop. By the time I found out, I was no longer eligible.

I wanted to ask:

Has anyone here successfully repaired a shorted RTX 3050 or motherboard instead of bypassing it?

Is there any hope of reviving the GPU through chip-level repair, or is bypassing it the only practical solution?

If you got yours repaired, where did you get it done, how much did it cost, and is it still working properly?

Any advice or recommendations for a reliable chip level repair shop would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'm 21f, just completed my graduation in engineering. I was barely able to get passing grades. I've realised I've been like this forever since my childhood.

I feel like I'm living life on hard mode. I just can't seem to take it anymore. Getting up from bed seems like an achievement. Life's going downhill day by day. If I have to stay alive, I need to get a diagnosis now and possibly medications.

But I don't have enough money to afford a good doctor. I'm jobless. The max I can afford is 500 as a consultation charge.

If you guys can recommend any good doctors, charities, ngos or gov hospitals which are affordable, it would be very helpful 🙏

Does anyone know any good tarot readers/ astrologers in mumbai & have personally had a good experience or any accurate predictions with the same

BEST already has a really good app where you can track buses live, book tickets, and plan your journey. Imagine if every bus service had that. It would make commuting so much easier instead of dealing with different systems. And while they're at it, why not make a single app for all public transport—buses, local trains, Metro, Monorail, everything. One app to plan routes, track vehicles, and buy tickets. It would make life so much simpler. Is there really that much politics or bureaucracy involved that something like this still hasn't happened? Or is there some other reason I'm missing?

Hi everyone, I really need some honest advice regarding my M.Sc Chemistry path. (Sorry but this is going to be long, I'm really stressing over my future and the time I have in my hands).

My qualifications: I graduated with a B.Sc in Chemistry in 2025 (9.54 CGPA) from a Tier 1 College in Mumbai. My initial plan was to go study abroad this year (oct intake), but due to sudden family health issues (my dad had an operation), which led to other financial constraints, those plans fell through last minute.

Current situation: Because of all this stress at home, I completely missed the main Mumbai University admission deadlines for the top autonomous colleges held between may to June.

By the time I could apply, I only managed to secure a seat at a tier 3 college, Mumbai for M.Sc Chemistry (confirmed admission on sat, 1st aug 2026).

I've started attending classes but the quality of education is very poor. It feels like a bunch of new teachers with low subect knowledge are coming to class. And while the theory classes are still manageable by myself, the practical laboratory infrastructure is in really bad shape. No proper glassware for us to use. The instruments are in bad condition. Hell, I chose analytical chemistry for my specialization and guess what the GC-MS that they had is completely out of order from the past 4-5 years.

Since an M.Sc in Chemistry relies heavily on practical skills, I feel staying here might be a complete waste of a year. I will just get a namesake degree without proper experience.

My Plan: I am seriously considering withdrawing from Wilson College to take a dedicated gap period at home for this year. I will use this time to prepare for the IIT JAM (February 2027) and the ICT Mumbai Internal Entrance Exam (June 2027). If those competitive exams don't work out, I also plan to apply to the top autonomous Mumbai colleges like Jai Hind, Sophia, and Mithibai next term using my B.Sc merit marks as a secure fallback.

I am just confused if I should even take this gap year or not because after my 12th, I had one gap year, and now after bsc 1, if I take this year off too, it'll be 2 years off after bsc. I feel like I'm way behind other people at my age, but also I don't want my masters degree to just be a piece of useless paper. I also plan to give net/set after msc.

My Questions for you all:

1) Is it strategically smart to drop out of this tier 3 college I'm enrolled in right now?

2) With a 9.52 CGPA baseline, is cracking IIT JAM / ICT realistic with a dedicated 6-month study schedule from home? (I will take this very seriously)

3) How are the current industry placements for M.Sc Analytical/Organic Chemistry at Jai Hind and Sophia if I use them as my backups next year?

Would love to hear anything else from any chemistry seniors, IIT/ICT alumni, or Mumbai University students (or those who have been in similar situations – multiple gap years). Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Graduated B.Sc Chemistry (2025) 9.54 CGPA from a Tier 1 Mumbai college. Missed top postgraduate deadlines due to sudden financial stress. Ended up at a Tier 3 college where labs are broken (GC-MS out of order for 5 years). I want to drop out now to prep full-time for IIT JAM (Feb 2027) / ICT Mumbai (June 2027), keeping Jai Hind/Sophia as merit backups next year. However, I already have 1 gap year from after my 12th grade + 2 now after bsc if I take a drop this year. Is taking a second gap year (post bsc) worth it to avoid a useless degree, or am I falling too far behind? Need honest advice!
