He then extended his hand, introducing himself as Ravi. I swear my look lingered over his crotch for more than five seconds. Most importantly, he was wearing just a vest and boxers, and looked pure godly. I recognised him instantly as the guy in the picture the other day. I rung the bell, and after ages, a fit, athletic guy opens the door. The next day was Saturday, and I reached with my bags at around 1 in afternoon. I finalised that flat and told that I will shift the following day. I saw this guy’s room, neat, well decorated and most importantly, had a picture of him on the wall, where he was posing just like Jon Abraham in Dostana. Since the other flatmate was at office, broker opened the flat and showed me around. So the day I went around looking for flats with the broker, he showed some 7-8 flats but none of them appealed to me, partially because I needed to share it with a stranger, so hygiene was important and I wanted a big balcony, which isn’t that easily available in Mumbai.įinally we went to see this flat at 19th floor, which had great balcony and two rooms.

I found this flat through a broker, as I did not know anyone around there and in Mumbai it’s pretty much impossible to find a good one without a broker. I joined an MNC here, straight out of college and found a flat to live nearby. This is a story of the time when I was new to Mumbai.
