Mumbai meri Jaan…

Last week I went to Mumbai after about 5-6 months. It was mind blowing change I felt after a long time. I always felt that Mumbai is a city of Passion and unstoppable race.

The city: which never sleep, speed is everywhere, road are always flooded and traffic is always busy but everyone follow the traffic rules (% of traffic rules follower is highest across country). You get anything you wish, your all dreams can be fulfilled... This may be the reason for which city also known as “Dream city”. Also known as Bollywood, Maya Nagri & Financial capital of India and what not? People come to Mumbai from across India with lot of dreams. Some of them come true and some of them become the part of Mumbai flow, but one thing is for sure that you will grow day by day.

I came to Mumbai first time after completing Engineering in 1998, learnt the best lessons of my life. Needless to say but I was in love with the city since then. Time & Speed matters a lot for success in Mumbai.

In 2010, I was again on verge of shifting my family to Mumbai; my wife was finding it too difficult and having lot of worries about Mumbai’s Lifestyle. How do we adjust ourselves in this fast Track Life, which never stops? But after spending about 2& half year she was in love with it. We shifted from Indore to Pune (There was little pain due to loveable neighbours), and then from Pune to Mumbai (It was less painful)….but the shift from Mumbai to Pune has brought the tears in our eyes. We were actually in love with the city.

I know very well that the time you enter into Mumbai, you feel bad smell but never the less after some time you become part of it and then you even don’t feel it.

Truly metro, where people do not really care about your caste, festivals and from where you belongs to (Off-course there are exceptions, but still less compare to other places) but yes, they believe in celebration and enjoying this with everyone around. Standing in Local Train, waiting in Traffic, running in Local buses or may be walking fastest really does not give you time to gossip.

First time I have seen only in Mumbai….a bagger boarded in a bus, hardly standing on one step (pallet) since the bus was full….was stretching himself towards conductor to pay for the bus ticket.

Hear you get everything, can be think of and the best part is at your cost, as long as you know from where to Purchase. Market starts at 4 AM!!!!  Yes actually I am talking about the Chor Bazaar (Grant Road), where you get everything new as well old at the cost you want.

Count on every minute train comes. Terminologies of train names are different from the world….5.35 Bandra Local, 5.37 Dadar Local. Difference of 2 minutes and you get the different train name.

But one think is true that this City will never disappoint you and whoever you are it will accept you as it is!!!
