New members of the India forum, introduce yourself here – 2016

Hello,

I am hoping that this would lead me somewhere. The whole idea of signing on was to get to know fellow singaporeans/ expats here in chennai and share the struggles in living in Chennai and of course the joys as well. I once thought that chennai would be the last place on earth that i would ever reside in. for starters, I am not a big fan of the weather. But oh boy never say never!   I am having a very strange relationship with Chennai. I don't understand how, but I am getting my soul back.

For now, I just want to say hello... and put it out into the world- what I would give for Chiili fried rice, sambal belacan and to hear the Singapore accent right this very moment.

Hi. I am from Manila, Philippines. I will be deployed to Mumbai India this coming April. Since it is my first time to visit India, I am looking forward to meeting new friends. And I believe that this site is a good venue to meet trustworthy people.

Hello, 

My husband and I are moving to Pune soon and I was wondering if anyone could give an idea about the good neighbourhoods for accommodation.
We are currently living in Manhattan, New York but originally from the UK, its just the two of us now but we are planning to start our family soon.
Ideally we are looking for at least 2bedroom minimum with gym services etc in the complex.
My husband's office would be in the Eon free zone so we would be looking for something that is close by as I've heard the traffic situation in Pune is quite bad.
A safe, friendly neighbourhood with good grocery and medical stores at a walking distance would be ideal.
We would be bringing our furniture with us as the company is going to provide with the shipping services.
Neither of us are very familiar with the lifestyle in India as we've only been on holiday visits from time to time.
Any advice on the locations and an idea for rent etc would be much appreciated. Also good shopping places for groceries.

Thank you Julienne and hello to other expats.
I live in Australia but my interest is to get to India sooner than later.
What I need is a job over there to support myself.
Perhaps I am not being realistic and will have to wait.
You may be curious why someone from Australia would want to live in India.
India has a lot to offer that has been lost in Australia today. What is important to me may not be so for someone else. My values, my life, my decision. It's a personal thing isn't it?

Hi my name is Tess a full time housewife. Living here at Gurgaon for a week now....just finish my unpacking and getting settled but I have not meet any Filipino  ...maybe from here can find a few friends. I am used of surrounded by friends and now I feel so alone when hubby goes to work.

Hi everyone

I will soon move to Gujarat for my studies. I'd like to get in touch with expats there, if there are...?

Thanks everyone!

Hi y'all! Namaste, and all that jazz ^_^

My Spiritual Master gave me the name Taruni  dasi so that's the one I thought I'd use on this forum, although it's not the one on my profile.

I originally joined the expat community for looking to move to Brazil. I've since decided that doing that legally could be problematic for me at present so perhaps I'll split my time between the West and the East. I've been to India numerous times but have generally avoided spending more than 2 or 3 weeks in the country. I'm currently looking to winter in Bangalore but thought I'd share something of my first experience of India, as part of the 'getting to know you' lark. Maybe others would like to do something similar.

I'll always remember the first time I entered the country- I came in overland from Pakistan where we drove through white and grey deserts, grey, brown (and beautiful!) mountains, and towns turned brown with the  (blessed!) coming of the first rains. As you may know most of the men there wear grey or white or camel coloured clothes. But when we crossed the border suddenly, while we were still sitting waiting for everything to be settled up, these men in electric blue punjabi suits with electric blue turbans came and began unloading goods from a truck and running with them to another destination. So many men. All dressed in blue like butterflies, fluttering back and forth and back and forth. It was mesmerising! I'll always remember that, along with trees, the sudden and dramatic increase in the sound of bird chatter, and green fields full of women in saris of all different, ever bright, colours. Ahh it was amazing! Truly amazing! Then some friends of mine and I went into town to see the Golden Temple and nearly died on a rickshaw lol, before being transported into some other mode of consciousness while walking around the sacred site. Ah yes. That's India. Magic and Mayhem all rolled into one!

Peace xxx

Hello Sitarenos,
Nice  to hear that you want to live in India !

Can you tell about what type of job you are looking for and your qualifications and prior experiences which would be helpful to provide some information about job.

Have a good day.

Hi all,

I'm a Lebanese guy who lived in Delhi for two years and am hoping to get back there soon.

Therefore, I'm looking for work in Delhi/NCR (see my thread on the subject - https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=625654)

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. 

I would also be happy to meet fellow expats when I am there.

Thanks everyone!
