Overview of the city

As a Mumbaikar, I have already mentioned that I love my city. I have learnt a lot from the city and its people. I don’t think I can survive in any other city and many Mumbaikars will agree to this line of mine as even they can’t. People here are very hardworking and hence Mumbai is called ‘the city that never sleeps.’ This city taught me to work hard. This city gives way to everyone’s dreams only if you work hard and are passionate towards your work. Then be it Shahrukh Khan or a commoner striving for daily food the city will make you happy and prosperous.

When I went to other cities in India I saw that there the day starts at 10 am in the morning. Of course, those cities were not metros but if you call a taxi driver to pick you up even at 7 am he will feel that it is too early. You will not even find a tea/coffee in such cities before 8 am. Whereas, in Mumbai you will not only get tea but also food at any time of the day or night. This is what I like about Mumbai and this defines the name – the city that never sleeps.

The best thing about Mumbai is the sea. It seems like it’s the solution to all your problems. Whenever you are sad you can always look up to the sea for help. A long walk at the beach alone will make you spend quality time with the best person in the world that is you and yourself. Marine drive is the best place for this and people in Mumbai are blessed because they have such beautiful places.

Thanks to people in Mumbai who are helpful and kind, girls are apparently safe here compared to other cities in India. But, every statement has an exception.

Though this attitude may seem very practical but people here believe in the line that ‘the show must go on.’ So be it terrorist attacks or floods or any kind of disasters the next day you will find people on roads again. This teaches us that we should always carry our responsibilities whatsoever the condition may be.

Every city has a drawback and Mumbai is not an exception. Mumbai also has its list of negatives. Political system, roads full of potholes, illegal slums, and I can go on and on. But it depends on us that we keep cribbing about all this or we can just take the good and leave the rest. So in the end, I will just say that Mumbai is the most wonderful city and will always be.
