“Yeh dil mushkil hai jeena yahan”…zara hathke,zara bachke yeh hai Bombay meri jaan…..this song was composed when Bombay was not yet Mumbai.Time passed away Bombay became Mumbai but the city did not change.Ask any random Mumbaikars to them its Bombay meri jaan.As a total outsider who went to Mumbai to chase her precious dream plus as a born traveller/vagabond whatever you call me,I would not say that I fell in love in at the very first sight but yes honestly the city fascinates me at the first sight,the spirit and the pulse of the city is truly unbelievable.No it was not my first visit in Mumbai but yes definitely my initial try to fit in the city.Mumbai local trains….the heart throb of Mumbai,local buses,beach,street food/chat street everything fascinates me!
“Yahan milta hai sab kuch bas milta nahin dil”..because people donot have time to think about DIL.The city indeed never sleeps,people are always in a hurry,trying to chase something that is yet unknown to me.What are they chasing….time?Their dreams?Both?Probably they don’t want to lose on to both.Well every 30 minutes there is a newcomer in Mumbai,every 60minutes there is a struggler coming to Mumbai with hope and dream to make it big in the city and out of those millions a few make it big.I was also one of them who drove to Mumbai to fulfill my dream,to live up to my dreams,but there is one difference…MY DREAM CAME TO ME AND BROUGHT ME TO MUMBAI!
The best time in Mumbai so far has been when I travel by bus to my office or come back in the local train.Unbelievably even at 11pm there are people running and chasing something and are still in a hurry.Most importantly the characteristic of Mumbai which again surprises me is that the people donot look back and they know how to move on.Well ultimately this city has taught me “OB LA DI,OB LA DA LIFE GOES ON…..HOW LIFE GOES ON!”
