Mumbai : My Experience

So here I start  with the first blog of my life..Hope i am not that bad.... So,People,,This is abt the city I had despised  after coming to it. The roads are narrow.. the streets are dirty.. the garbage is strewn everywhere.. there are so many vehicles on the road that it may take u 2 hours to cover a very short distance of 1 KM. 1 km.....haiiiiiiiiin.. ya 1 km....Guys and Gals ,,Ladies and gentleman...."Welcome to Mumbai"..... I, a Delhiite,, one among the many of the proud family of road rashers was very comfortable with the 8 lane NH8 and the DND flyover... A speed less than a 80 on the speedometer is against the esteem of the very proud Delhiite..Ah here comes the Maslow's law of hierarchy... Self esteem before self actualisation.... So when I came to this city I was suddenly thrown off guard.. High traffic, Millions of people walking on the road... the air smelled like "shit"... and besides every Posh colony there was the ever"blue" jhuggi jhopdis..The slum of india...Alas! Why r we so proud of Slumdog Millionaire..The movie showed us as dirty filthy creatures..........

But, still there was something charismatic abt this city.. a City so vibrant and dynamic that it enthralls you  with its scintillating charisma.. A city that never sleeps.. The city that witnessed a power outbreak last on the unfateful day of 26/7.Mumbai is the city of light...Huge ,Lighted Advertisments occupy the top of each building... No doubt this is the Financial capital of India.. with Airtel and Idea placed side by side as 2 long lost brothers .. Huge banners of movies occupy every possible space. Whether it is the front of a building or even the cover of a manhole.. No place is left vacant to live in peace... The city that has more Autos than the no of people to drive them.. Mumbai is the city of dreams.. A place " Jahaan par Rannk Raja ban sakta hai aur Raja Rannnk mein badal sakta hai" ...

So here comes a very short description about the most inquisitive city of India... A city so attractive that it submerges you in itself but at the same time a  city so despisable ,that no matter how much you try ,,you just cant get distanged from its claws. 
 
 PS: There are many more to come...just based on my experience
