There are many reasons as to why a mumbaite doesn't find any other city as fulfilling as his home city. The people who are born and raised here will completely agree with me on this.
Rightly known as the city of dreams, Mumbai encapsulates dreams of the daily wage earner who works rigorously and sleeps on the streets to provide for his family back home, of the struggling actor who left his home and yearns to earn a place on the big screen in this bollywood capital and also of the aspiring businessman who has a larger than life idea and the willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve it. What Mumbai is, is because of its people, from the Bachchans, Ambanis and Khans…to the white, blue and red collared working class, the home makers and students, the street vendors and labourers, each and every one of us make this city what it is today!!
We don't boast of being perfect, we too have our flaws….this city is the land of ironies, our commute to work is much bigger a struggle than the work itself, we can fall sick by eating 5star restaurant food, but the vada pav at the street side bhaiya does us no harm, 15 minutes of downpour is all that is needed to generate floods here and I can go on and on..…but HEY!! even though our’s is one of the most polluted city of the country….our stars shine the brightest
If you are new to this city, don't worry….the city eventually grows on you, becomes a part of you just like your breath, gives you endless opportunities and instills in you that nothing is impossible ! Mumbai has the power to make or mar you, it can be your ladder to success and also your slide to downfall…the choice is yours :)
