Ramblings in Mumbai
Its been almost 11 months since i have been in Mumbai.
What a city is Mumbai,esp for a Hyderabadi,Mumbai is a quite tough city to live in.. So, what strikes u first in Mumbai, As i steped out of the AC car in mumbai(coming from pune),is the Smell,the Smell of the Sea,yup the fish smell, and then big thing hits you the traffic.
Forget Hyderabad,Mumbai is quite Traffic choke,but suprisingly everything moves quite swiftly.In the last 11 months i noticed quite a number of things that rest of India would find hard to believe.
This is city of lights,freedom,Sex,Bollywood,Wannabes,Fashion Designers,Locals,traffic cops,Best Buses,High rises,Filthy Rich,etc.
One of the first thing that Hyderabad(read single,20's,bachelor) would find is the Women of Bombay(I prefer Bombay to mumbai) is that you hardly find women in Sarees,Salwar kameez. you will see young girls with Harem pants,Skinny jeans,Spagetti's,Tribal Accessories,a big hand bag,tattoos(not every1 has).this is so Unhyderabadi in style.
There so many things in mumbai which so Unhyderabadi like the speed at which the ppl,the city runs,You might have heard in various movies,dialogues,but the speed the city runs is faster than it is potrayed and esp. for a hyderabadi ,it is kind of bafflement.
The Locals,the ppl run so fast as if there's life in danger and it is their last day of their life,The city moves in 2 directions From North to south in morning and South to North in Evening..People hardly talk,they have only one mission reach office asap and reach home asap.
to b continued.
