The Insider’s Guide to Surviving Mumbai
Welcome to Mumbai. A city where traffic jams have existential depth, landlords have secret PhDs in psychological warfare, and your kaamwali bai wields more power than elected officials.
This isn’t a guidebook.
This is a survival manual.
A love letter.
A roast.
A coping mechanism.
It’s for:
- The lifelong Mumbaikar who’s too stubborn to leave
- The wide-eyed outsider who thinks they’re “ready” (spoiler: they’re not)
- The ex-Mumbaikar secretly missing the chaos
Inside, you’ll find:
- How to survive a local train ride without losing a limb (or dignity)
- Why rickshaw drivers say “no” before they say anything else
- The unspoken politics of housing society WhatsApp groups
- How Ganpati season turns your neighborhood into Coachella with more drums
And dozens more chapters guaranteed to make you laugh, nod knowingly, or spiral into nostalgic dread.
