I’m currently in Mumbai but need to leave. I’m looking for a place to settle in that doesn’t have a greatness tax to it. What I’m saying is, some of the cheapest places to live which do have an extremely minimal degree of infrastructure at least. Lack of utility is fine (besides living necessities like basic food and water availability). Employability is not a factor, I have it handled so no conditions there. No problem if there’s a lack of communications connectivity, it is fine if there’s no option (even if its presence would be appreciated). Requirement is- not actively political or community based religious, I should be able to live if I do not take part in these things. Preferred if I can get by with the very basic with English, Hindi, Marathi (but not an absolute requirement).

Anyone have any experience with such places for practical, low lifestyle living? No fans in heat no problem etc. No intra-settlement transport no problem, a lot of stuff requiring my own effort and manual work is not a problem. Most importantly a chill place to live in (the people, not the weather). Place I can set up and live with my own effort and skill, however I need to go to do it, I like being away from the high and great places in life (so one of my opportunities to get away from one of the pinnacles of it in the country. It may not have the best quality of living, Mumbai, but it does have a very high degree of believed greatness) and am capable of living that way. Any mentions will be appreciated. Much more so if you’re already living there currently, but past living experience and details of place would also be helpful. Mumbai is too expensive, suburbs are too expensive, I’ll go ahead and say places like Pune as well are too expensive (more in an unnecessary sense, my requirements for living are very low).
