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.
