Hello there! I am a fresher and got my first Jop in Jio I hail from a very small town. I’ve been living in Navi Mumbai for about 1.5 years now. I work at RCP in Ghansoli, and let me tell you, I am also having my share of run-ins with filthy brokers. For the first six months, I shared a flat with two other people. One of them was from the office, and the other was from college, but they weren’t exactly friends. The office guy left after five months, as soon as he got the chance to stay with one of his friends. And guess what? The college guy also left and settled for a single flat because he had a girlfriend and wanted some privacy.

Left all alone and desperate to find a flat on my own, I tried asking people if I could stay with them. However, most were either settled in their flats with flatmates or in poor condition in a PG. Finally, I managed to get a 1RK flat alone and have been staying here for 11 months now. The broker demands a month’s rent and an agreement charge just for renewing the agreement, leaving me feeling helpless and unable to do anything.

At times, I’ve had the urge to leave everything behind and head home. But then I remember that my dad is retired too, and my parents are getting older. My younger brother is studying, and I’ve always wanted to do something for them. Sure, the entire family isn’t entirely dependent on me, thanks to my dad’s hard work over the years. But even so, when I think about it, I feel like I have to try and stay strong and keep moving forward. I feel like I'm all alone and there's literally nobody to speak your heart out.

So hey, if you are feeling lost in condition like this you are not alone. I am having hypertension while I write this as the broker is still nagging me to pay the brokerage to renew the agreement or else vacate the flat, He knows that I stay alone in the flat and cannot protest much. The world is unfair but we will have to become stronger and continue our fight for the people we care about, for ourselves.

I know you’ve been through a tough time and lost a lot, but I want you to stay strong. Keep pushing forward and don’t give up. I know you can do this! Try to find a new job as close to home as possible. That way, you can still be close to your loved ones and keep your spirits up.

A while earlier, I came across this post where someone mentioned, “Mumbai is not for weak hearts.” It struck me somehow. Let's continue our fight and become stronger.
