So You’ve Moved to a New City… Now What?
Welcome to the jungle! Whether it’s Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, or anywhere in between — the first few weeks in a new city can feel like a cross between a Bollywood movie and a survival show.
You’re lost. You’re hungry. And your Google Maps says your PG is “right there”—but all you see is a goat.
The First 48 Hours
- The auto-rickshaw struggle
- The language barrier panic
- The Wi-Fi password mystery
- Or the fact that your PG bed feels like a yoga mat
How to Survive (Without Crying in Public)
Here’s your not-so-basic Flathomie survival checklist:
✅ Join local student/working communities
Find city-specific youth groups (like Flathomie’s Instagram and WhatsApp).
You’ll discover hidden food spots, second-hand furniture deals, and maybe even a chai buddy.
✅ Walk. Don’t Uber everywhere.
You’ll learn your neighbourhood faster (and save for that overpriced coffee).
✅ Carry basic kitchen stuff.
No, your roommate doesn’t want to share their only kadhai. Trust us.
✅ Bookmark this: Flathomie.com
Find verified PGs and flats that won’t trap you in a 9-month contract with no ceiling fan.
Bonus Pro Tips
💡 Say yes to new experiences (except shady 1BHKs with no window)
💡 Map out nearest ATMs, kirana stores, and laundry
💡 Keep emergency cash — UPI isn’t king everywhere
💡 Don’t get emotionally attached to the first biryani shop you try (It’s probably not the best)
Real Talk from the Flathomie Fam
“I landed in Mumbai with two bags and a YouTube playlist on ‘How to not die in a PG.’ Flathomie helped me find a home — not just a room.
– Riya, 22, Design Student
