I agree with my friend. live life 1 day at a time & just do your best in whatever your doing and the rest should not bother you.
It is not a true picture, as i have been to Oslo which is one of expensive city but it is not listed here. Expensive criteria are incorrect in this report.

Whr r u staying here in Mumbai??? U dont know ne thing, i think someone make foolish in Oslo...U cant imagine how the Mumbai is costlier thn other city. Do one thing, come to Mumbai if u r not in Mumbai and take a 3 BHK or 2BHK in CST, Church Gate or i n Hiranandani or ne cool place.. u ll find the difference and its in everywhere up to Thane.
I can't believe. In spite of this people stay and paid good amount to their landlord. Being a financial city of India, people visit and later on they settle down here as well. Since demand is more due to accommodation charges are too high.
If any one uses the word Ghati on any forumn, publicically or on literature, the person can be arrested, procecuted and legal remedy can be taken against that person as well as against the newspaper and news portal which publicises that.
Hence even Rediff can be prosecuted when the derogatory term is used and rediff publicises and publishes it.
Similar case took place where an Andhraite sued a newspaper on the usage of the teram Gultee and he has won the case.
Same legal provisions are applicable and people have been prosecuted and even in some cases sentenced to imprisonment and fined.
Hence beaware if u use the word Ghati..it is legally prosecutable and also a crime which can be booked at any local police station.

You Bostan Ghati........waht are you talking about here,Nothing will happend in India,as Indian law is made for only poor people,as they can not use loop holes of Indian law.
I am from Mumbai and have been to HongKong and presently in London. The Accomodation price for 3 BRK per month are
HongKong : Central HK - HK$ - 22000 pm, Outside - HK$ - 18000 pm. Approx Rs 1.2 Lakhs
London : Zone 1/Central London £2500 - £3000 pm, Zone 2 Approx £2200 pm, and goes on decreasing gradually till Zone 6, which has around £1400. (£1 ~ Rs 80) so £ 2500 ~ Rs 2 Lakhs)
Apart of this we have to pay the council tax of approx £150 pm for 3BRK flat. VAT rate is 17.5% flat.
Mumbai: Prices varies as we go from South Mumbai to North Mumbai and from Western side to Eastern side. Western side the prices are more than that of Eastern Side. Also it varies how far is the residence from the station and the locality.
Even if you consider by the PPP, In HK it is around 35%, London is around 45%, and Mumbai is aroung 15-20% ?
Still HK is no 1, London is No6 and Mumbai is no 7 in the list?
It's good to hear that Mumbai is in the top list. but I don't get one point here. I've been following this blog and i'm shocked after reading some individual's comments. Brits invented "divide & rule policy" to rule our country. Now blogs like this still show that feeling...who cares mate whether u r from delhi or chennai or somewhere else...be an Indian. appreciate India's growth...not just stick ur ass in front of the computer criticizing others...all the best for u all. I don't mind if someone responds to my message..'coz i don't give a s#@t

This is true that Mumbai has become 7th costliest city in the world. But, if you see the list of richest cities in the world. Mumbai alon with all its major cities will come at the bottom with less than 8% avg gross sal compared to NYC, USA. It has emerged the top costliest list due to the presence of very rich industrialists and mediocre rich superstars. But, if you see common people lifestyle:: that's still horrible. Roads are crowded(:( for car owners), local trains are overcrowded always etc. So in that way its still no where in comparison with big international cities. Again, you can very well manage an 1-bedroom apartment for less than 5000 INR which is not possible in west cities or advanced cities of China/ Japan. So, being costly in this way is not a matter of pride:( --BD
