Mumbai is a mega city of India with a rich history. It is difficult to put all of it in just a few pages. This survival guide gives a true picture of life in Mumbai; its packed trains, traffic jams, heavy rains, water logging, jostling crowds, slums, beggars, resilience of the Mumbaikars, the Bandra-Worli sea link, safety issues and more. It touches upon all facets that will influence everyday functioning.

‘Just get involved, join a community. Shed off all your negativity about the place and adapt to it’ so says one expat about life in Mumbai. Read what others have to say on why they chose to live here, what they miss, what they love or hate about this city, about schools, medical help, food, recreation and all about how they manage to get their way around – the good, bad and the ugly.
