Mesmerizing Mumbai

      Reaching Mumbai was an amazing experience. I was never so much thrilled. It’s truly Mini India with varied culture and it has never dyeing spirit. Mumbai is a city full of life and heart.

Here I am penning down to describe my perception of Mumbai:

• It’s like a mother whose heart always has space for any number of children. Mumbai has crossed all limits and adjusted herself to accommodate all those who beseeched her. It’s like thou seek and thou receive.
• It does not rest for a moment even after being hit by worst disaster- riots, bomb blasts, floods, strikes, accidents, terror- attacks.
• There is always a scope for adjusting one more commuter continuously even in jam packed local, defying laws of mass and volume.
• Distance is measured in minutes/hours. Two hour journey from home to work place is too common.
• Your driving skill ought to achieve a precision of 0.5mm bumper to bumper with zero percent tolerance, even while maneuvering around a pot hole.
• You need to be skilled in jumping off/ on a bus and train few seconds before it stops, if you happen to be the first row near the door while alighting and boarding a bus or train.
• Eight people can share a six feet by six feet kholi and can still make room for more.
• You don’t need a reason to play and talk cricket.
• Best part is you don’t need to your own vehicle to commute from one end of the city to another at any time as there is nearly twenty four hour coverage of BEST buses, locals, Black n yellow metered rides.
• The cheapest, quickest and most exciting shopping of varied items can be done in local trains.

Mumbai has helped me visualize my dreams with more colors. It is like I have embraced freedom and now the choice is mine.
