Question What to do in ANDHERI

Hi there!

I've been living in Andheri W for two months and haven't done much except working, settling and looking for a flat*.
So I'd like to know if/where I could find those activities in Andheri :

- Yoga
- Danse
- Martial art
- Gym
- Hindi classes

Thanks in adavnce !


*which I haven't found yet actually. Was about to, but finally it did'nt work. This is another topic but anyone interested in flat sharing, having a room free in a rented flat, pleeeaaaase let me know...

Hi there.....

There's lots to do while in Andheri!!!


Go for a morning jog at:
* Andheri Sports Complex @ Veera Desai Rd...
* Bhavan's College grounds and then, pray at the beautiful Shiv Temple - you may also stroll down in the nursery behind the temple and sit beside the pond there or attend the morning yoga classes there....
* Go for an evening walk at the Versova Beach and watch the hues change as the sun dips over the horizon.....
* Go window shopping at the various malls at Lokhandwala complex ....
* Check at Bhavan's College for Karate sessions ....
* Spend an evening at the Prithvi Theatre and enjoy a comedy or a satire and then, relish the sandwiches and coffee at the coffee shop outside
* Try one of the finest "WADA PAUs" just outside the APNA BAZAR on J.P. Rd ..... near Dhake Colony.....
and if you need more, just PM me!

Wow 2 months . You need to get in touch with the right people .


- Yoga = yes
- Danse = yes various styles
- Martial art = yes various schools
- Gym = various budgets
- Hindi classes not heard of any . Thought there are private tutors i guess.

Go to the airport and get on a plane and get out while you still can.

I used to live in Juhu and found that area a little boring. Move south if you can.

Yeeaah! I must admit that it crossed my mind, but I don't want to give up after 2 months, these diffulties for me are linked to my housing et settling pb and a little to the environnment, as I am more a countryside lover. I know, I know, why did I come to Bombay then?...mmm. Anyway, I prefer the suburb than south Mumbay, I could not afford to live there first, et I also don't like the mentality too much.
So when I will have located all the good tips all you guys have suggested I will feel better for sure! Thanks everybody for your posts, that cheered me up.

PS : some of you don't have any pm.

Au contraire. You don't have PM facility activated yet.

you could try the terrence lewis dance academy on gulmohor road. they take salsa & other western dance classes as well as something called bollywood dancing.

they also have aerobics.

If you really keen, i can locate the number for you.

Very close by is the talwalkar's gym. Should be good value for money.

Good luck
