Mumbai's a vibrant city, but making friends later in life can be tricky anywhere. Have her explore senior centers – many offer activities and social events. Joining a book club, a dance class (maybe even Bollywood!), or a hobby group related to something she enjoys would expose her to like-minded people. Even something seemingly simple like attending a regular yoga class could lead to friendships. Consider volunteering – it's a great way to meet people with shared interests and give back to the community. Online groups focused on specific interests or age groups could also help her connect with others.

That's solid advice! Senior centers are a good starting point, often overlooked. I'd also add that focusing on activities she genuinely enjoys is key – forced fun rarely leads to lasting connections. Maybe even a cooking class focusing on Maharashtrian cuisine? That's a great way to blend cultural immersion with social interaction.

Check out the food delivery apps like Swiggy or Zomato. Tons of options around Criticare Asia Hospital, from cheap and cheerful to more upscale stuff. Filter by cuisine and price range to find something your aunt'll enjoy. Lots of places do thalis which are usually pretty good value and offer variety. Hope your aunt feels better soon!
