| BY THE BAY DURING MONSOONS-MARINE DRIVE |
The glorious sun behind the hills across the harbour; breath taking winter sunsets at the horizons edge from marine drive; the vivid blossoms of gulmohar;first sound of the koyal that hearald the coming of the monsoon; the fury of the rains at Haji Ali;the amazing smells,sounds and sights at crawford market;the striking art deco archietcture of cinemas like liberty,eros, regal and metro; the street food (vada pav,pani puri,gola's);the promise of better tomorrow in slums;the gateway and the taj;street shopping;the incredible crucible culture and cuisine...aahhh...soo much..where can we get all of this ..?? well, that is MUMBAI-BAMBAI-BOMBAY...! Mumbai is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing,restaurant,nightlife etc etc...(never-ending)..! Im a hardcore mumbaikar,who loves her city to the core,gets offended when people crtisize her city,loves every bit of it ,and last but not the least is proud to be a mumbaikar and loves to brag about her city. since childhood mumbai has been everything for me,the city which taught me to love,the city which gave me happiness,the city of dreams,the city which never slept..! why do i love mumbai so much..?? ummm..itz a never ending list..! Everyday here in mumbai brings with it insanity,our motto in life is to work hard and party harder.! Also i love mumbai for several more reasons,itz a frantic city where anything is possible provided you have the fortitude to stick it out ! Also because i can take a rickshaw at 2 am in the morning,roam around,explore places and get home safe and sound.i love the extremities of bombay. To me its the most extreme city in the world,its where you have a marriage hall right next to a crematorium;deluxe five star hotel buildings rising among slum clusters; a lamborghini sharing the same road as bullock carts and also street food vendors right outside fine-dine establishments. There is an organised choas and madness about this city.I remember the day when i travelled for the very first time in local trains,mumbai local trains is a world of its own.people here in mumbai wake up every morning and wish for a few things in common .."i wish to catch a 8:20 local."
"i wish i get a window seat."
"i wish noone pushes me today."
and the best of all.."i wish i get an empty train."
