Mumbai.

My place of birth. A place that one can just keep living. A city of life noise chaos multiculture festivals colours passion love business and fishing. Strange it sounds. It's a complete platter of all Indians from all walks of life you see in one place. Growing up in a Middle class family I see mumbai through different pair of glasses. For believers in Shankar, the blue god and Ganpati... You can say Bam bam bole at every temple at the end of every street. With elephants walking on the roads I run down with a coconut to feed them. After a whole exhausting day it's nothing like to go sit at the sea shore Marine Drive. Better the Nariman Point from which you can see mumbai glitter and you see the entire queens necklace as it's called dazzling in the midst of a starry night. After a nice walk it's a must to head to a chawpati to have the most amazing Milkmade Gola. Kind of an ice-cream. Or if ure health conscious unlike me you could grab a cup of hot tea from the tapri with a cigar in the other hand should complete ure day.

CHAAT - If your foody u can't miss eating at the sea side Chawpati. Goll gappas, Dahi Puuri SevPuri Ragda And Parathhas with this amazing Thecha Chutney. And never could I resist Indian sweets. Those mouth watering jalebis, kheer, Ladoos and PuranPoliis. A meal in the west ends with a Coffee well A meal here ends with a Paan.

Mumbaikars live a fast life. Clubing is a part of a nice Sunday evening for every teenager. But when living becomes hard. Mumbai has its own comforting place. Silent places where u could find ure true self, your inner landscape. The Malabar Hill is a place of Peace where u see Mumbai rest in Peace. Or the little pond that lays down it's history of Lord Ram had spent his day. If not the most beautiful Churches will pave ure way. Mumbai, A place once seen worth. Once lived worth life long.
