Mumbai - Part II

My first few months in Mumbai was crazy coz I was coming to terms with East and West of every suburb, central, eastern and western lines of a massive local trian network and the fast paced life of Mumbai.


But slowly and surely I started falling in love with Mumbai and here are a few reasons why
  • There is something the watery shores and the sea of Mumbai did to my mind - very fascinating and intriguing - carrying hopes of millions that grow, die down and resurface just like the waves of this sea.
  • A city that carries so many dreams and can support with its heart, millions of people who eke out a living - a true melting pot of people and cultures.
  • Something for every one - take your simple roadside eat out serving value-for-money lunch right upto the swankiest hotels; there is something for every one; intrinsic accomodative nature of this city, it seems.
  • I have lived in many cities but none as time-conscious as this one. Everyone knows that you have a schedule and values it - the cabbie, the pizza delivery boy..and so on.
  • Public transport despite being overburdened is user friendly and you are never stuck in any place at any time for want of transportation. This is the beauty of Mumbai.
  • Within a few hours of occupying your new apartment, you will have at least 3-4 menu cards from nearby restaurants promising door delivery; just a phone call away
  • Mumbai is usually the Lead Indicator market for most consumer products or lifestyle trends; you will see most trends / marketing campaigns here at least 6 months / a year ahead of other cities.

That's it for now on Mumbai. Maybe some more..maybe later!!
