Anyone interested in making new friends in Mumbai??

manu0205 · May 2nd, 2009, 12:22

Hallo everyone,
I (f, 31) moved to Mumbai recently for work reasons and am going to be here for at least a year. To have some fun and avoid loneliness, I would like to meet nice people and make new friends - Can anyone give me a recommendation, where I could go for that? Or are you in the same situation and would like to go out for a drink? Please respond!!

Hi Manu,

Welcome to Mumbai. I would advise you to be little cautious in seeking open friendship as you have recently moved to India. Its better to know the person well and then carry on. However, I can forward you a safe reference in Mumbai. My friend Deepak 28 Years, a Banker working in a multinational Bank might be happy to hear from you. You may get in touch with him on 9920029196. You may refer my name when yo speak to him. He is responsible , knowledgeable and fun loving guy but safe to be friends with since you are new.

Best wishes, Raghu

You may refer my name when yo speak to him. He is responsible ...Good to be confident about your friend but how would she know that you and your friend are safe to deal with...

just kidding

Raghu.Kumar · May 2nd, 2009, 21:26

Hi Jitu,

Its up to the person to find out if my friend is safe is or not. As manu posted an innocent question , I wanted to give a safe reference thats all. I am going to be in this forum for a long time to come and anybody can come back to me if my references are faulty.

Probably a good time to bring up this caution again: Women/Men looking for travel partners .

Manu, you might want to check also this thread, scroll to the end of it for the latest: Mumbai Meetups .

Hey folks
thanks for your advices, certainly I'll keep that all in mind. However, I'm not doing this whole expat-thing the first time in my life - it's actually the 4th time for me. But if someone has an advice where I can meet people, I'd be more than happy

because I'd like to avoid feeling lonely from the beginning on...
By the way, can someone recommend a supermarket where I could buy fresh meat, sausages and stuff like this?

Welcome !!!
There are many good supermakets around in Mumbai.But to suggest the closest , it would be good if u let me know the exact location of u r stay. Mostly the 'Big Bazaar' retail chains is located at many places in the city...Hopefully one could be nearer to u r place of stay...

On a personal note,i am also looking out for some good friends...
I could be reachable on my mail id rake_is_here@yahoo.com
It would be my pleasure , if you can consider me as a friend...
Please let me know your interest via my mail id, so i can give u more information about myself...
