Get in touch
If you’ve spent any time digging through official websites, expat forums, or well-meaning but outdated Facebook groups, you already know how hard it is to find clear, honest answers about making a home in India. That’s exactly why this site exists — and why I read every message that lands in my inbox.
What started as a way to share travel notes slowly turned into something else. Readers began writing in not just about train routes and monsoon tips, but about rental contracts in Bangalore, neighborhoods in Goa that welcome foreign families, and whether it was actually possible for an NRI to buy an apartment without losing their mind. Those questions shaped everything that came after.
Now the site covers the practical side of settling in India: long-term rentals, buying property, understanding local bureaucracy, and finding your feet in a new city. If that’s the kind of information you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.
What you can reach out about
- Questions about specific neighborhoods — what they’re really like to live in, not just the brochure version
- Help navigating rental agreements, deposits, and tenant rights
- Guidance for NRIs and foreign nationals on property purchase rules and tax implications
- Suggestions for guides you wish existed (chances are someone else needs them too)
- Stories from your own experience settling in India — I often feature reader insights in updated guides
- Corrections, updates, or local tips I may have missed
I don’t have a team, a call center, or an auto-responder. It’s just me, Arjun, reading your message — usually with a cup of chai — and replying as thoughtfully as I can. That means it might take a few days, especially when I’m on the road updating guides, but you will hear back.

If your question is about a specific city or property situation, the more detail you can share, the better my answer will be. I read everything, but I prioritize messages where the context is clear.
A small note
This site has grown because people trusted me with their real concerns — not hypothetical scenarios, but the messy, human details of relocating, investing, and building a life in a new country. I don’t take that lightly. Your email won’t be shared, your story won’t appear anywhere without your permission, and I’ll never pretend to know something I don’t. If I can’t help, I’ll tell you honestly and try to point you toward someone who can.
Looking forward to hearing what’s on your mind.
