               BANDRA KURLA COMPLEX

Everyone working elsewhere must have come across name BKC.ie.Bandra Kurla Complex.Accidently,that is my job location.

Looking at Bandra Kurla Complex today,it is difficult to imagine that just 30 yrs before land was available at a throwaway price of Rs 300 square feet.

Bandra kurla complex houses Diamond Bourse,banks such as SBI,Bank of India,Canara bank,ICICI,SEBI,consulates of UK, Australia, Belgium and the Netherlands,Asian Heart Institute,Famous Trident Hotel and many more commercial and residential apartments.

I have made a video on BKC.BANDRA KURLA COMPLEX

BKC was conceptualized by the state, specifically former chief minister Sharad Pawar, as one of the alternatives to Nariman Point and South Mumbai in general.

It has no negatives except ,poor connectivity.Within BKC it is easy to move but getting to BKC is a tough task .And if you reside far away place as i had been at the start,it can become challenging to come to office.Bus services are inadequate.The stations near by are Bandra,Kurla and Sion.

I stayed at Nerul and as my office hours started at 8:30 am,i had to leave sharp 7:00 am or 7:30 am to reach BKC.lately after a month i shifted to near by area Tilak Nagar,Chembur.

Stay tuned for further posts on Mumbai in 2021.

Renting a flat in Mumbai.

    (Me at my flat at TilakNagar(CHEMBUR)                        Grace CHS,near by BKC.) Renting/Buying a flat in Mumbai is an arduous and expensive task. Finding a flat near by workplace is a challenge as rents in Mumbai is exorbitantly high and transport communication is neither cheap nor hassle free for a common average earning family. Flat rents may vary from 20 thousand to several lakhs.                             Kharghar Apartment If you are lucky to have a job in Navi Mumbai,it can be considered a blessing as Navi Mumbai (Kharghar,Nerul,Seawoods,Vashi ...) offers affordable rental flats and is cleaner and organised than rest of Mumbai. But if your job location is outside Navi Mumbai,it can be a hectic daily job to reach your office and come back home. My job location is in BKC and my wife work location is in Chembur Camp.So we decided to settle down nearby .Flat rents in Chembur/Tilak Nagar vary from 20 thousand to few lakhs too. A one bhk can cost you 20 thousand to 40 thousa

MY first experience of MUMBAI.👀 I work in a PSU bank🏦.I had been to Mumbai way back 10 years before.The then crowd at KURLA STATION and the crowded street images are still afresh. I have always loved being in Jharkhand.Reasons are many-my childhood buddies,family, known places and a simple lifestyle.We dont need big paychecks to survive and live comfortably there. I never thought of coming to Mumbai leaving back my family(parents) and friends. BUT working in Bank and no other means to support my self and family ,I had to move as i was transfered from Jharkhand(Godda) to Mumbai.(Maharashtra). Below is a youtube link of a video that i made after coming here reluctantly. https://youtu.be/Q16hua8Wivc My FIRST EXPERIENCE OF MUMBAI I was feeling so homesick that i even thought of resigning.I went back home many a times.But as i hadn't any other option,i had to settle down in Mumbai reluctantly.So the video may appear a bit critical. Mumbai serves as livelihood destination for a very bi
