As the
weather transitions from the tranquil dawn, to the diurnal soaring hot, to the cool
Windy dusk, the city also evolves along, from the gust of crowd rushing into
the local or hitting the traffic madly, to a diligent work force toiling in the
clammy afternoon, to the bunch of lively people strolling around the Marine
drive with the soothing breeze from the sea taking away with it their whole
day’s stress.
Mumbai is
truly the city of dreams; it provides everyone with the space to dream and at
the same time, provide the dreams with the space to turn into reality. The city
has respect for Flair of all sorts and has the power to transform that flair
into stardom.
It serves
all, with a tangy cocktail of recreation, pleasing every mood of life; from "the Scenic Sunrise at Juhu Beech to the Sunset at Bandstand”; from “the highbrow Theater to highly nocturnal Night Clubs”. Life wears an exclusive Parade here.
The city is
a complete conglomeration of varied lifestyles; from “the street Vada Pav” to “the
Urbane Continental” among the food; from “the casual Marathi sari” to “the
debonair Gown” among the attire; from “the shanty slums of Dharavi” to “the Posh Nariman house” among the dwellings. Despite having such contrasting
life forms, the city absorbs them all with the same warmth. It is the city
where everyone can aspire, work and live with the equal Poise.
Mumbai is
actually the city portraying different colors of life. It allows one to embrace
one’s own style of living, unquestioned, unlabeled and unbound.
The Elite
Aura of the city goes unmatched and stands off complacently, with the Ethos
driving out spontaneous love for itself. The older it grows, the Younger it looks,
though a bit ironic still true in each and every sense.
The Film
City, aptly describes herself in her own words “Zara Hatake Zara Bachke Ye Hai
Bumbai Meri Jaan”
Well described..:)

ReplyDeleteNice article. I had the nostalgia of Mumbai while reading this. The best thing I like about this city is the understanding that is prevalent amongst the common man. Be it travelling by local train or moving midst the crowded market at Matunga, you always feel at home.
ReplyDeleteBut again, you seldom realise the importance of the place while you are there :)
I can see another article in the pipeline on Delhi.
