An intern from Ahmedabad, who recently moved to Mumbai for a three-month internship, has sparked a lively online debate by sharing their negative impressions of the city. In a Reddit post titled “Delhi > Mumbai,” the intern described their initial experience as overwhelming, noting that the city felt crowded and exhausting, particularly due to high rents and narrow roads. They expressed discomfort from the moment they arrived, stating that Mumbai appeared visually exhausting with cramped apartments and old buildings. The intern criticized the housing market, highlighting that rents for small rooms often reached ₹30,000 (approximately $360 USD), which they found unreasonable for the quality of space offered. While they acknowledged enjoying Marine Drive, they questioned the widespread praise Mumbai receives. The post attracted various reactions, with some users agreeing and others defending Mumbai, arguing that it has lost its former charm compared to cities like Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. This discussion reflects a broader sentiment about urban living conditions and quality of life in major Indian cities.
