The auto-rickshaw, a common mode of transport in India, usually doesn’t come with many frills. But this particular auto caught Tanvi’s eye because it had a window. This seemingly mundane feature became a topic of great amusement and comparison.

Netizens couldn’t resist comparing the auto to the housing situation in Mumbai. One comment read, “It’s just like a 1 BHK in Mumbai.” The comparison was both humorous and telling. Many people in Mumbai struggle with the high cost of living, and the auto’s window became a symbol of the city’s housing challenges.

Real Estate Prices In Mumbai

In Mumbai, real estate prices are notoriously high. The cost of renting a 1 BHK flat in South Bombay can easily reach 1 crore rupees. Even in less central areas, rents can be steep. A 1 BHK in Mumbai typically costs around ₹25,000  a month plus security deposits. For a smaller unit, such as a 1 RK, rents can still be high, with some places going for ₹50,000 a month.

The comments on Tanvi’s post reflect a shared sentiment of frustration with the housing market. One user commented, “This auto also has a window, but my room doesn’t.” This remark highlights the stark contrast between the modest amenities in some areas and the high rents people have to pay. Another comment playfully suggested that the auto’s window could be compared to a flat in Bombay that rents for 50,000 rupees. This comment underscores the disparity between the cost of living and the quality of accommodation.

The humour in the comments is a coping mechanism for many who face the reality of expensive housing in Mumbai. The comparisons made in response to Tanvi’s post offer a glimpse into the everyday struggles of Mumbai residents. The city’s high rents often force people to live in cramped conditions, and even a simple feature like a window in an auto rickshaw can become a point of amusement and frustration.
