1 year in Mumbai !!!!

Mumbai....city of dreams, city of hope, city of new horizons, city of colors…..and many mamy more adjectives can be added but in a single world it can be metaphor as “Alive”. Here every thing has a life…an urge!!! Be it the terrific traffic or be it the overloaded local trains. The first time when I came to this city…I was 8 years old, it seemed too huge, crowded and dirty! I was lost in the local train….my parents were unable to get my down in that over crowded Mumbai local…somehow they managed to find me!!! That day.. I pledged to God..I will never ever come back in this ruthless city never ever !!!! But today after 16 years…I am here celebrating my successful 1 year stay in the city of creams and hope….I really love the city..I love its every mood.. be it totally damp and wet Mumbai of July or totally dry and hot Mumbai of April. Whatever be the climatic conditions this city is always to cool to explore…it never stops. that’s why I said its alive !!! what you need is just time to explore the place I bet you will be in love with it. It has its own charisma its own charm…its starts right from the Arabian sea..i will never say Mumbai has great beaches..or great sea shores to hang around..but the it has Nariman Point or Priyadarshini park cliff..both the place will give an entirely different mood and feel of the city Nariman Point is like a diamond which shines on after polishing it…where as priyadarshini park is a place which is so calm and quiet….if you go n visit worli seaface….its again totally different. Here you will find life and youthfulness . Oh how can I forget Aksa ..its a very ecstatic beach near Malad here Arabian sea is lit bit harsh..people say its dangerous ..but what I feel is its just like your childhood where u are completely carefree and innocent !

Mumbai..known as paradise for shopper’s. There is not a single street present in Mumbai where you won’t find small roadside shops selling very exquisite and exclusive stuff. Which you can only find in Mumbai…be it Crawford market..or be it’s the linking road of bandra..clothes …clothes and clothes all over….Its really heaven . If Zaveri bazaar is exclusive for jewelry…then khav gali is famous for Indian cuisines…if chembur market is famous for leather goods…then dadar is famous for flowers….really every bit of Mumbai has its own flavor and feel.

If you rreally wanna find some peace in you life…just spend some time at ISKON juhu.. I bet you will be feeling refreshed..and full of positive hopes. I do agree that Mumbai is overcrowded and too fast…but this has its own adventure and that’s the it is……

Every new day has some adventure in it…your everyday life is eventful when you are in Mumbai….I feel I can stay in any part of the world if I have successfully completed my one year here…Really Hat’s Off MUMBAI !!!

Yeah Pre, very well drafted and correct piece of our dream city. As if we were just destined to be here, and we fit in here so smoothly without ever experiencing a single bit of friction. Can't agree more with you on that!!!
