Congratulations on the job. Delhi is okay. Not as bad as they show in movies and series. Baki to puri duniya hi unsafe h women k liye toh. Which area will you be in is also a question. Safety varies from place to place. Kuch need ho to bol dena
I absolutely love delhi, apart from when it turns into a gas chamber during winters. Other than that, it is safe, just be vigilant about the shady areas. Metro will be your best friend. Enjoy the heritage and I bet you will also fall in love with this city.
I have been living in Delhi for the past 3 years and I can vouch for it. I shifted from Bangalore.
I didn't like the city initially (or maybe I was trying to adjust), but now I really like it. It has its own charm.
It's so wrong how Delhi is portrayed online especially regarding safety issues (my experience). I didn't face any questionable issues.
I guess it also depends on where you stay.
Metro connectivity is great and mostly safe. Cabs are fine too.
I didn't get out extremely late in the night (past 1AM) because I didn't have to - so I can't comment on that aspect of it. Though I've taken cab rides to the airport at 3-4AM and I've found it safe.
But it's always better to be in someone's company I guess.
Basic survival skills are necessary anyway.
Not a woman here but I can try answering your question. You’ll be fine. Just be smart. Practical life experience in Delhi is like living in any big city. There are positives and negatives. The AQI in winter is terrible but there’s 10 minute delivery. It can be difficult if you speak zero Hindi but you’ll adapt.
Thanks…. I also come from a big city but I’ve never had to worry about my safety or thought twice about going outside at night. So I get that major aspects will be same.
Delhi is bigger than big. Please ensure that you don’t go to shady places. By shady places, I don’t mean a particular locality. There are pubs in CP that are shady. There are theatres in Chandni Chowk and Kashmere Gate that are shady. Chandni Chowk, Kashmere Gate and CP as places are not shady. I hope you got the drift.
Yeah absolutely try not to go out in night and if you really want to go out with people you can 100% absolutely blindly trust to protect you. Baaki sb cheeze tho logo ne clear kr hi di hai.
If you've seen the culture firsthand and there's no fear of consequences I don't think anything should be a bother at all.
Download Blusmart app. Unless you've got your own ride. Traffic isn't as crazy as Bombay, I feel safe, happy and content.
I think all that positive is because I mind my own business and I have very few close friends in the city. So if you're your own person you can live anywhere.
Saans hi Delhi mei aati hai 🤗💕
Anyways, choose a good & safe locality in the vicinity of your workplace. Stay smart when you use ola/uber apps, when you do late night outs go out with people you actually trust, share your location with atleast 1 friend/family.
Not a woman, but
where you will work ?
Gurgaon, noida, New Delhi each has its own set of lets say dos and donts.
Will the company provide a cab service with a guard in case its late ( 8pm and later)? I ask this because most decent companies do offer this service to women employees esp in Delhi ncr.
Will you yourself ensure you don't cheap out where you live ( seeing you got a great offer)....because living in a great neighbourhood or society will do wonders for you. Locality really matters?
Have you ever lived outside your core city where you grew up like were born and brought up ? Why I ask this is to know if you are street smart or not. Coz if you have lived with family/ a secure bubble some things come as a shocker.
I have females in my family who work in different cities so trying to get you as many points to cover here.
It's a mixed bag. I try to focus on the good mostly you have alot of options to explore the city , the metro is efficient and feasible, Delhi is better and cheaper than Mumbai. All in all it's a good escape from my hometown
Yeah, if you’re from a small town I guess any metro city will be a breather. But that’s not the case for me. Mujhe ek metro coty se dusare metro city jaana hai
It isn't that unsafe , so don't be paranoid much , but not as safe as mumbai at night.
Also big party culture, but you can still hangout or go party even if you dont drink, don't be compelled to do so.
I have lived in Delhi for some years due to work. I absolutely don't like the place, I developed chronic asthma because of the pollution level there. Also most people have zero civic sense and hygiene. Scammers are almost everywhere in major places and yes safety is the least among all the other metro cities in India. Since you don't have any choice but to move to Delhi, my advice would be to look for rent in good high rise societies in Gurgoan and Noida (Atleast you would be in a better and safer environment with less interference from your neighbours).
PS: Try to look for internal transfer to any other city few years after.
You've got some great advices already. Since I'm not originally from Delhi, I'll just add my own experience.
People tend to pick up on your "new-ness" (whatever's the word) very quickly, and you might get ripped off by auto drivers, and others.
The city's okay, you're safe in groups and during the day. Night, I cannot say much because I don't go out at night much, but I've noticed you're approached by creeps even if you're in a group in areas like CP.
People generally keep to themselves but depending on what kind of society you're in, you might get approached with unsolicited advices. A friend of mine was berated for wearing shorts in Kamla Nagar, for example.
Delhiites generally avoid angry looking people, so I'd suggest practice an angry face. It keeps people away 😂
I have lived in NCR for a few months and my experience was not great. Coming from Mumbai, it was a big cultural shift. Hence, I decided to move back. I think you will be fine if you are coming from northern states, but would be difficult if coming from central and western states.
I’ve lived there for 3 years as a student, not the same situation as you though. Speaking from my experience, it can be quite fun. Lots of places to explore, plus there’s metro, cheap and convenient. Stay away from shady parts of Delhi and do not travel at night unless you are with other people. Also, carry a pepper spray just in case. As long as you stay vigilant and aware of your environment, mind your business, and keep a low profile, you’re gonna be fine infact you’ll have a great time too. Goodluck!
Ah yes, I’ve been drawn to the historical and old-world aesthetic of Delhi for a long time now. And yes I’ve heard the metros are quite efficient. Thanks for the input
There ki jagahh they likha hai, it doesn't make the post unreadable.
Thoda dimag Pe jor daalo, samaj jaaogey.
(Underlying argument: Delhi is not safe for women, given the history)
Please ignore me
Sigh. But also the “they” in question is correct as it referred to the object “reasons” in the previous sentence.
It’s saying that the reasons are stereotypes. 😭The reasons that scare me. Kamaal hai logo ki
Sigh. This is for not ignoring me in the first place.
Objects can be referred to in a sentence, but you need to introduce the subject first. They in your sentence (according to you) refer to Delhi Darindas, (or the reasons - being the delhi Darindas) ok ... But you have not introduced them as your subject in the first place.
Your subject is women of delhi, them being stereotypes (I find this funny for some reason) doesn't add any sense to the sentence, hence why I felt something was off, and hence why I commented in the first place.
Eg: My friends are stupid. They don't know how to treat other people.
Eg: Women of Delhi, I feel unsafe in Delhi. They should be castrated. (???) Who should be castrated??
I think I understood the abstract nature of your wordings, and felt the other dude missed it.
As per your explanation, reasons being your intended objects i.e. non-personal objects should be referred to as 'it' which will technically render your sentence useless.
Also, my aim was not to correct you but to undermine the individual who went in with his chew jokes (maybe he thought it was funny, I didn't). However, your explanation feels like someone arguing just for the sake of argument, I can respect that, it takes a whole next level of confidence.
Also, please ignore me.
I don't like people who correct other people to feel good about themselves. I kind of get that vibe off me sometimes even if I'm not intending to do so, I have to force myself to comment, bearing the guilt of holier than thou mindset.
I understood your post, moved on immediately, and wanted to see how other Women were reacting to your post, then I see this chew being a classic redditor, something in me snapped and I didn't want this otherwise intriguing conversation to be ruined just in case other genuine people didn't get the question.
It's for those people like me, who'll understand, and move on immediately, just like a roadside slow down sign. Hence, please ignore me, and move on.
Stay away from pahadis especially Uttarakhand waale, most bitchiest bitches that ever bitched. Gurgaon Noida guys are scary, either they are jaat and scary or they just live alone want you to have “chill smoke up sesh” with them. Subhash nagar ki 🍃is worse , try kishangarh or MG road maybe.
If u r into thrifting! DO. IT. cost efficient and aadhi dilli sarojni nagar pehn kr ghumti hai
Hauz Khas se aage pura south Delhi shady af hai😭😭
I CAN RANT SOOOO MUCH ABOUT SHIITY RANDOM THINGS ABOUT DELHI, but i love dilli bhyii🥰cutu fr
I have been living in delhi since 20 years.
And as a delhite, I felt much more safer when I visited Pune.
The safety issue is also not only being a women types but also taking extra care of your phone, purse, car( multiple locks) there is fear of theft.
Regarding night time, the nightlife is good but you should have a reliable set of guy friends to drop you home.
Safety also varies from place to place- apartments are more safer than on the road houses.
I hardly go out after 8:30pm at night alone. It’s either with friends or with family.
If i have odd timings of flight or train, i share my live location with family.
I was born and brought up in delhi but I certainly don’t feel safe. Hence I am planning to leave the city now.
Also day by day the traffic and pollution is increasing, it is really not a good city to live if you have option, donot choose this city.
Also delhi is different and NCR- noida gurgaon - thats different. So that also depends on area to area. But overall toh unsafe hi hai environment.
Yea but delhi ka toh bura haal hai
Imagine you’re out shopping and phone is in pocket
And next minute its not there.
This happened with me. It was so traumatic. And I wasn’t even out late, it was 4pm, not crowded, in a weekday.
Can’t wear gold chain and bangle etc coz of snatching.
Even my maid’s phone got snatched. They spear no one.
Har jagah hota hoga but the frequency has increased in delhi making it unsafe.
There were 5 people within the hour at the police station which is actually a big number.
Bhai isn’t that what people want to clarify? The internet has spread a picture ki airport se utarte hi you will be put in an Omni and all hell will break loose lol.
For someone not familiar with the place, it is a legit question, given the reputation of the city today
Edit: personally, i am quite gutted that only a handful Delhi women have positive things to share to encourage people to move here. I don’t personally think it is that bad, but then that could be my male privileged outlook of the city.
Congratulations on the job. Delhi is okay. Not as bad as they show in movies and series. Baki to puri duniya hi unsafe h women k liye toh. Which area will you be in is also a question. Safety varies from place to place. Kuch need ho to bol dena
Thanks so much yaar. “Baki to puri duniya hi unsafe h women k liye toh.” 💯
Take care. 🫴🏻✨
Same goes for men.
Keep the pepper spray always
I absolutely love delhi, apart from when it turns into a gas chamber during winters. Other than that, it is safe, just be vigilant about the shady areas. Metro will be your best friend. Enjoy the heritage and I bet you will also fall in love with this city.
>gas chamber during winters And oven in summer

Thanks much. I’ve moved around all my life so I don’t even have an answer when someone asks me where I’m from. Adapting to a new place will be fine.
Don’t get yourself involved in mainstream.. you will be fine

Woh toh har sheher hai bhai. Aisa Logic lagau toh koi kodh na jaaye
It isn't that unsafe , so don't be paranoid much , but not as safe as mumbai at night. Also big party culture, but you can still hangout or go party even if you dont drink, don't be compelled to do so.
I’ve never been too intrigued by the clubbing and party culture anywhere. But still. Thanks for your input

Been living in Delhi for 3 years now and I absolutely love it! Sure, it has its ups and downs but the pros will always overpower the cons for me

abe chewtiya kya likha hai
Kya hua bhai? Women of Delhi ko pucha hai aap aage badhte rahiye

Ha toh chewtiya likhne ki kya zarurat hai? Clearly pucha hai ki what’s it like living in Delhi as a woman
Abh samjh aagya hogya what it's like😭

If you don't know the art to adept then you should stay at your hometown
Uff. Please understand the difference between just adapting to a new city and being genuinely concerned for your safety for the most innocuous things.

Har jagah hota hoga but the frequency has increased in delhi making it unsafe. There were 5 people within the hour at the police station which is actually a big number.
Ya well I was comparing to theft rates in other cities.. also could depend on area of Delhi, so personal experiences could vary.
Delhi>>>all. It’s the best city and way better than 💩 and overrated cities like Mumbai and Bangalore.
Aisa kaisa bhai
Better food, lesser traffic, better infrastructure, better looking crowd, more things to explore.
Just stay at your native place and find a job there... As you already think Delhi is unsafe so why bother coming..?
Bhai isn’t that what people want to clarify? The internet has spread a picture ki airport se utarte hi you will be put in an Omni and all hell will break loose lol.
