7 Things to Do When Moving to a New City in India

Got a new job!, or Someone in your family got a transfer letter to another city, and you are about to move to the next town, then you must know about these seven things to do when moving to a new city in India.

Almost 80% of the migrating people must be moving to Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mysore, Mumbai, Gurugram, Chennai or any other metropolitan city of India.  

Every Year several people in India move to other cities, for reasons like a job, to pursue education or other personal reasons. But we always face many problems while doing so.

1. Budget for Moving to New City

The first and the foremost thing about moving to another city, is how much you want to spend in the complete process of moving? 

Moving always costs us a lot (I can say this, from my personal experience). 

Begin with creating a spreadsheet, stating your requirements and their respective expenses. The list includes the fields like rent of your recent stay, food expenses, travel costs, security deposits and other related stuff. 

If now, you are at the budget section, calculate the cost of living in the new city ( Do research on it), and see if your salary or pocket money can accommodate your expenses. If not, you have to replan your budget and minimise your costs on rents and deposits.

2. Finding a Humble Abode

Finding a new house in the 21st century is not at all problematic. We have several online applications that can provide you with numerous options for flats or apartments, Independent dwellings or more. 

Must Remember, to look for a place, which is not far from your workspace or office. Otherwise, it will cost you loads and your budget will be unbalanced. If you have a car to park in, you must rent a place with good parking.

If you do not wish to go via these methods, you should inquire about Someone in person who can help you find your humble abode. 

You can also rent some furniture or rent a fully furnished house to feel more comfortable. Immigrants today are renting beds, tables, sofas and many such things to fill-up their home with comfort and “homeliness“. 

3. Remove the Unwanted Stuff

When you are about to move to the other city, then you must declutter your stuff. If you want everything to be hassle-free, then this step is necessary.

Only take the essential and valuable stuff with you, leave the non-usable property behind. This will help you stay calm in the complete process of moving. 

4. Get Information about the New City

The most crucial step, before moving to any other city. India is a subcontinent, and the climate for every state is different. So, research the place you are moving to. Extract the details of weather, language, food habits and how you can save money in that city. Every information is available on Google.

Google your destination, and you will find several results describing the city’s complete environment. Moreover, if you are moving to a place with extreme weather conditions like Delhi, pack your stuff likewise. 

But if you are moving to a moderate climate city like Bangalore, then there is no need to take your heavy winter clothes. Just pack a Raincoat and an umbrella, with your regular stuff. 

Seeking information about the place you are moving to is very important as it will give you the complete outline of the new location, and you won’t feel discomfort at any level.

6. Learn About Transportation before Moving to New City

When you are researching your new destinations, the most important thing to know about is how you travel to different places over there. Check if the metro is available or not, or what are the average charges of taxis. This will ensure that no one can fool you when you are at a place entirely new for you.

The best advice I can give you transportation knowledge is to travel to places by hiring a personal vehicle. In most of India’s big cities, some facilities will provide you with the freedom of hiring a scooter or a bike or a car at affordable prices. This will make you independent and more confident.

In case you are taking your vehicle with you, then,

• Track your daily route, just after you find a house to live in.

• Check if there are refuelling stations in your way, or near your home.

• Lastly, check the distance of the service station from your new home.

7. Create your Bucket List

I believe that life means to explore new places, meet new people and to live the culture to the fullest. At this point, when you have researched enough about the new city, make a bucket-list out of it.

Make a list of new places to explore, cultural events (if you like them) happening in the city, Dance clubs, pubs and food streets. And whenever you have time, then go and explore.

Sometimes we don’t know about unimaginable wonders on this planet. Might be possible it is just within 10 km from the place you are living. So, why leave the chance to give your eyes a fantastic treat.

On a Note:

Several people in the country move from their natives to earn and to run their families. Why not do it systematically and comfortably.

This list of the seven things to do when moving to a new city in India will help you shift from one place to another effortlessly. You have to do a little bit of research. Possibly you can find something new and unique.

Always remember you are just one step away from a comfortable life.
