What Mumbai means to me..

Sometimes I wonder what keeps me drawn to this city.. is it because I was born here? the Friends I have grown up with ? the lanes and by lanes with fond memories.... Or is it just the "air" intoxicated with so many expressions - ambition, passion, living on the edge, desire..All of which translates into the prolific energy exuded by this city.. Often misconstrued as the most populated city..well its not just that..The underlined feature of Mumbai is that "its a city of opportunities". If you are here, it can change the course of your life...Are you here with some plans ?? Well , they might fail..but what's in store will be even better..

Its a city where we "live" by the day and "Live it up" at night ..The city that never sleeps and not just that... it also awakens you..If you are here , then you have experienced everything ..it will stir every emotion in you--from being cranky during the morning travel, to being patient at the ticket counter , losing temper at the traffic signals or just that divine sip of masala chai and vada pav with colleagues for a much needed break at work.. :-) , you hav to be a gymnast to board the train and be a navigator during rains...!! But what completes Mumbai is the sea view by the night.. when you face the serenity of sea waves rushing towards you and watch the world rush past behind you...what an amalgamation! !

Did you like the sound of it ??? then do drop by...but life here comes with a Caution :"Keep up the pace !" Ye hai Mumbai meri Jaan ....:-)

It's our never-say-die spirit which makes Mumbai the city that makes dreams come true. Mumbaikars go out of their way to help someone to stand on their feet.
The tag 'city of dream' suits the city as it gives people opportunities which other cities don't. During the last six months, I have seen many people from small towns moving here with dreams in their eyes. Most dreams do come true.It is difficult to define what makes Mumbai the city of dreams. Whoever comes to Mumbai has a particular goal to pursue. The aspiration can be to become a painter, architect, teacher, actor, businessman, sportsperson, sociologist, singer, writer, director. The city can fulfill all these dreams for those who have the dedication to pursue their ambitions.
