Mumbai

There are lot of things about Mumbai that amaze me...everyone has their own reasons to like this city...here are some of mine. And i will not add the regular stuff that everyone likes.

This is strictly in random order..................

1. I love the small patches of land between the railway tracks and the road that are effectively used rotationally for seasonal crops( there were greens in summer and right now, there are ladies fingers and brinjals). Of course i get these digusting looks and comments when i mention this. But hey! show me another place in the country which has so innovatively used space to make a living? The thought counts!

2. The pani puri's are out of the world( no offence to puchki's ..i love them too)

3. There is always a shop that sells what you need( and enough kind hearted souls to tell to how to reach the shop)

4.There is always some eatery open at midnight, unlike a lot of other cities i have lived in.And you get to eat any cuisine you like..its all here.

5. Sea is just a drive away( i think this must be among the top three) .

6. It has the most ecclectic mix of people you will ever find, rubbing shoulders with each other during peak hours in the same train...never in other city.

7. We spent the first few days( 30 days to be precise) of living together after marriage in this city.

And many more that in can' think of right now. There are of course 100's of reasons what i don't like about the city..but right now i am in this " i love mumbai" frame of mind. So we shall keep the bad stuff for another day.
