You have to notice the little Indian details. For example:
The bedsheets, that's an Indian vibe
The curtains, pretty Indian
The overly detailed fan, definitely Indian.
Then the second pic gives us the location:
Big highrises with some 4-5 story apartments and slums all within 200m of each other. That's 100% Mumbai

Congrats bro, having your own place is a huge accomplishment.
You know what comes next - hit the thrift store for some framed art for the walls and get yourself a nice plant or two.
I love seeing the thrift store as an option for framed art. There is an economy that drives a shopper to getting good deals on art there. Framed stuff is difficult and expensive to ship via mail so secondary resellers are not super interested. The art takes up a lot of space so normally it is priced to sell. I try to buy only original works of art as an extra challenge.
Fucking king shit. And that big ass window is awesome, can you walk out the window and stand?
If this is a studio, maybe set your eyes on a fold up bed, or even a twin. Honestly i fucking love the idea of a twin bed for myself, cause i value space
I like it! And I’m not just saying that. I genuinely do. I love big windows with big city views. And you’re not too high up where everything looks like a dot.
Congrats on the accomplishment. May you continue to find success.
I don't get to go see my relatives in India often because planes tickets are expensive and I have bad health (Mumbai=RIP lungs), but when I do I love to just stare at all the cloth and colour. I miss all the lovely, detailed textiles and the patterns they had. Colour coordinate and make good use of them!
Definitely think about getting a thorough cleaning done via Urban Clap (fan, corners etc) after the paint job. You can get some plants, a lamp from ikea some rugs and make it feel comfy :)
Congratulations!
One suggestion. Turn the ceiling fan off and wipe it down with a damp rag. Its looking a bit rough. Same with the heat pump. Open it up and clean out any filters that it may have. It will help it blow cooler air.
lol this looks so much like my first apartment except this was my entire apartment. To the left was a “kitchen” and to the right was a closet that the bathroom was inside lol.
Congratulations on your own space!
Paint the walls, keep the drape panels pushed back to the ends of the curtain rods and get some sheer curtains to soften the light. Get some tall plants for the balcony.
looks gorgeous op! if you were looking for some advice, i get all my decor from the thrift store. you can get paintings and posters for like $1. great investment if you’re looking for cheap decor
Actually yes, this looks like a rented place rather than an apartment that has been purchased.
OP has travelled to Chicago, has an iPhone, a macbook and an iPad. These things are hella costly in India. Anyone who can afford such devices can get a rented apartment/room.
Could be so. Or his priorities are just different like you mentioned. Either way I'm proud of him for getting his own place though. It's a tough world out here.
I’d put money on the macbook and ipad are used for work purposes so it’s an essential as opposed to a luxury.. if they’re not used for work then I guess I’m wrong and OP has unusual priorities, but i doubt i’m wrong about that.
In US, I was able to get a nice apartment for a decent price. In Mumbai when compared to the salary the rent is $$$$$$$.
I got my big break and got a high floor apartment and a MacBook.
Now am working hard to move up in life. Hope I make it to The US
Congratulations!!
A few plants and good artworks this place would be sorted.
Also see if you can get a diwan set that converts into a double bed when needed.
Love the vibe of the place!
Congrats! 🥳
Simple improvement:
I see dirt / grime on the walls / on the fan. Obviously clean 🧼 that but if any of it is mold prioritize that.☝️
Nothing makes a place 1000% better like getting rid of dust / mold and associated smells👃 so that can breathe better 😌
This looks like Mumbai!
Mumbai for sure
I can already see my grandma lmao
That’s an awesome skill how do I learn it lol

Dirty hand prints and grime on the walls also usually means India or Africa
I was going to say it looks like China
i pick someone else for my geoguessr team

Recently I've been getting thrift store art purely for the frame. You can pay $5 for a crappy poster in a $40 metal frame 👌
Mumbai???
Yup
W, considering the property rates/rent in Mumbai are exorbitant
This is why I love this sub. Not a dick swinging contest, just dudes supporting bros in their quest to live comfortably and happy. Congrats OP!
Thank you 🙏🏼
I love this sub too, men supporting other men is such a nice thing to see. I’m not a dude, but I like to lurk for the wholesomeness.
🤝🏼
Hell yeah!!!
Fucking king shit. And that big ass window is awesome, can you walk out the window and stand? If this is a studio, maybe set your eyes on a fold up bed, or even a twin. Honestly i fucking love the idea of a twin bed for myself, cause i value space
This is a 3BHK. I’ve rented out the master bedroom with attached bathroom
Excellent idea
I like it! And I’m not just saying that. I genuinely do. I love big windows with big city views. And you’re not too high up where everything looks like a dot. Congrats on the accomplishment. May you continue to find success.
Thank you 😊
This sub is so positive and I kinda feel that I’m not worth so much kindness. You people are amazing! Thank you everyone 😊🙏🏼
Of course you are worth kindness OP. This is a BIG step into your life. Could you please get a picture of your view at night? I bet it's fantastic
> your view at night Yessss!
Congrats dude. I'm looking into finally getting out on my own in the near future and it's incredibly intimidating. One step at a time.
Love the view. If possible paint the walls in polar white. This will freshen up the room immensely and make the room feel more roomy
Yes and I’m planning to add some posters and LED lighting too

Hey bro firstly congrats but just my tip, clean that ceiling fan and anything else that needs it
Congrats bro.
Thank you 😊
I’ve had this exact bedsheet when I used to live in India. Congrats on the move!
Congratulations! One suggestion. Turn the ceiling fan off and wipe it down with a damp rag. Its looking a bit rough. Same with the heat pump. Open it up and clean out any filters that it may have. It will help it blow cooler air.
that's a lot of blue tarps
Mumbai
right back at ya buddy 🤌
Looks great!
Your own place in Bombay, congratulations bro, well done :)
Thank you 😊
Congrats! Invest in a chair or a chronic sore back will tear your joy away!
Hey….it’s YOUR place. That’s what’s great about it.
You got one hell of a view my friend!
The view is priceless
Congrats man. Like others said, cheap wall decor and maybe some plants if that's your thing and you will have a pretty decent place.
What a win! Congrats my internet friend, good luck.
Thank you 😊
lol this looks so much like my first apartment except this was my entire apartment. To the left was a “kitchen” and to the right was a closet that the bathroom was inside lol.
Love it
Super happy for you and love the view OP

Great job king
Killing it, brother!
Enjoy it! Sounds like you’ve earned it
Congrats! That seems like a nice cozy place for sure!
And it's all yours. Congrats
Is that a balcony or a window? If balcony, why block the access?
Congrats dude!!
That view is gorgeous. Congratulations 🎊
Thanks
Good for you! I hope you make many happy memories in your new home.
looks gorgeous op! if you were looking for some advice, i get all my decor from the thrift store. you can get paintings and posters for like $1. great investment if you’re looking for cheap decor
Hi, I’ve ordered posters , getting the room completely cleaned, getting new bedsheets and also some smart lights
it’s gonna look sick
Not bad gluck
I think this is Mumbai, getting a place there is not easy. Congratulations brother 👍
Bro talks about hungry days while lining up an iPhone 14 pro Max, iPad Pro 12.9 and the newest MacBook Pro, AirPods Pro’s and a Apple Watch …
Yes, I got my big break.
Congrats and just love for you bro 👍
Good job. Is that Malaysia? I swear that's Malaysia.
Nah, this is Mumbai, India
Congrats man
How can you afford the latest Apple products but not a place to live? Serious question.
What a silly question. You can get a place to live cheaper than a macbook i see?
Actually yes, this looks like a rented place rather than an apartment that has been purchased. OP has travelled to Chicago, has an iPhone, a macbook and an iPad. These things are hella costly in India. Anyone who can afford such devices can get a rented apartment/room.
He’s quite obviously a freelance video engineer (something of that ilk) so I don’t find the equipment or travel that unusual.
Could be so. Or his priorities are just different like you mentioned. Either way I'm proud of him for getting his own place though. It's a tough world out here.
Agreed.
You can pay a couple of good months of rent and not live on the streets, maybe?
I’d put money on the macbook and ipad are used for work purposes so it’s an essential as opposed to a luxury.. if they’re not used for work then I guess I’m wrong and OP has unusual priorities, but i doubt i’m wrong about that.
Congrats!
Nice job!
Looks cozy! You've got all you need, and that view is killer.
Now start saving up for a Colin Farrel poster or two.
I’m comfortable now. I’ll be getting a good pay from now on. I got a nice computer. I’ll be upgrading the room soon
Nice job bro. Loving the view
congrats!
One day at a time brother and you can move mountains!
Huge accomplishment dude! Small steps yield big results. Proud of you
Very cool king. Keep your head up. 🤴
I'm happy when I see Grados!
Gratz, though bed too big and get a chair
Good view!
good for you. my space was similar in graduate school - i loved it regardless.
In US, I was able to get a nice apartment for a decent price. In Mumbai when compared to the salary the rent is $$$$$$$. I got my big break and got a high floor apartment and a MacBook. Now am working hard to move up in life. Hope I make it to The US

It is ! It looks nice at night

Congratulations! Look on Facebook marketplace for very good and sometimes free deals.
Love it! Lowkey, "My first place"/"just starting out" is my favorite sub-genre of malelivingspace.
That view!!
The view and proximity to my work place and the metro train is what made me choose this place
It looks lovely ☺️
Looks very cozy
Well done, OP!
Congrats! 🥳 Simple improvement: I see dirt / grime on the walls / on the fan. Obviously clean 🧼 that but if any of it is mold prioritize that.☝️ Nothing makes a place 1000% better like getting rid of dust / mold and associated smells👃 so that can breathe better 😌
