The Maximum city

Bombay-The biggest,fastest and the richest city of India.The city that never sleeps,the city of dreams,the city with spirit of steel.The city of the teeming locals and Dabbawalas,the city where weather has two names-Monsoon and Humidity.It's a city of Malabar hill and Dharavi juxtaposed together.A city where no one can be claustrophobic staring out at the sea from a Marine Drive. A city where you understand the meaning of the term "PDA" staring out at Reclamation and Bandstand,and a city which is always running,chasing a hope.

A city where "Enigma" crowd will gladly step out of its Merc to eat out at "Bade Miyan".Its the maximum city where everyone takes a shot-for a better life. A city where the chain of MacD's coexist with scores of Vada pao eateries.The city with its own lingual identity of a "Bumbaiyya Hindi". Its a city where Real estate prices in Nariman Point will equal that of Manhatten. The city of "Bollywood" where no Mumbai darshan tour is complete without seeing a "Jalsa" or a "Mannat",its a city of Wannabes and Page 3, all wanting a tryst with 5 minutes of fame. The city where you'll get a fag,cutting chai and food even at 3 at night,a city never in darkness,ablaze with al the neons,pubs and discs.A city buzzing with a contagious energy which grabs you as soon as you step out of "VT" marvelling its architecture.Its a city where solitude is a luxury.Its a city where everything centres around business and whats in it for me? Intimacy and privacy is a elusive entity here. Its a city where thousands escape disillusionment every night in the countless bars tucked away in every nook and corner of the city-waiting for a better tomorrow. Its a city where people are perpetually struggling- right from the locals,to the traffic,to meeting deadlines,balancing the personal and professional life,maintaining relations. As go the words-" Aye dil hai jeena mushkil yahan, jara hat ke,jara bach ke,ye hai Bombay meri jaan".
