Mumbai Meri Jaan!

Aye dil hai mushkil jeena yaha…
Zara hat ke zara back ke yeah hai Mumbai meri jaan…
Kahi janaat kahi slumdog kahi loffar kahi mehfil…
Jo milta nahi yaha toh milta nahi Dil…

That’s true, Mumbai the big city, bigger than I could ever imagine, you get everything here, just name it; you will get it but one thing that no matter what you will never get is a breather…Running souls trying to catch up with every passing minute, ruthless race for deadlines and for everything that exists and yet all so very material. Yes this is Mumbai, you starve for warmth, but then there is the other side too…Itz a place which smells of challenge and attitude. Jo haar gaya woh sala kaam se gaya.

Young or old everybody talks in English rather I was amazed to hear everyone travelling in trains speak in English, and mind you no hinglish it’s English. Padhle likho ka sehar hai yeh…chalet e raho, jagte raho…

Seven islands joined to form this Bindaas city and probably it will take another seventy years for any other city to become Mumbai afterall the bargain is not easy…the deal is “ Give emotions get rich, give humility get fame, give yourself get everything else”…

Bach ke rehna, yeah hai Mumbai meri jaan!
