Ramblings in Mumbai part -3

continuing from where i left.

Marine Drive:

                One of the most beautiful natural features of mumbai,Located in south bombay. It is drive 5 kms long,with chowpatty(beach),high rise buildings,give mumbai another 15 years,Marine drive would give competition to Manhattan.

Traffic / cops.

                 They are everywhere the same,money sucking white,grey men,who spare no one,Almost every1 in mumbai follow traffic rules,especially auto wallahs, dont even dare to break any rules and most of them are scared of traffic cops.Most of them follow traffic rules,but not me,born and bought in hyd,i mind keeps aching when i have to wait for green signal even there is not even single vehicle crossing on the road,the worst part of if u have to wait for green signal even in night 00.00 hrs.might be this is partly because mumbai was a british city..city of immigrants.

 Bollywood.

             Nothing much to say, i feel havent really feel,what bollywood is like ,but i know one thing,its effect on the lifestyle of mumbai.Mumbaikars are the one of the most fashion crazy people..and i think bollywood has some role to play in here.

High rises.

           for many years, i havent seem a taller building than the babukhan estate in basheerbagh,come to mumbai,most apartment building easily cross 20 stories, Mumbai boosts dozens of high rises which 40+ stories,my friend says it is hard to find a city where even in suborbs u will find building which 40+ stories,this might lame for some1 whoz been to NY,Hongkong,Shanghai, but this building are  not commercial,these are residential..and i must agree, i have this stupid urge to count no of floors a building has whenever i see huge high rise..

BEST buses: These are as synonomous as hyd's green buses. These are all in red,and has stops 1 stop for every 250 mtrs.They criss cross every nook and corner of mumbai,must say hyd buses r much safer,bigger,better than the these buses

there are many things that seperates Hyderabad and mumbai but there are so many things that unites us.

I miss Hyderabad and mumbai too, neways 

one more thing for Hydearabadi..beware of Mumbai girls ;)
