i was in mumbai a few days ago, the city which many indians see as the new york or india. It was one of the most pleasant vacations i have had in my life till now. I had just stopped boasting about what all i did in mumbai to my uncle when he told me that he did the same when he went there long before i was born. It was fun the entire trip..i spent it just i would want to spend a vacation. First i would love to tell you friend that i really dont like the concept of a vacation. I like living life as if it is a vacation.
First, i would want to tell you what is a vacation, lets say we go to school or work everyday..we need a break sometimes and we end up thinking that vacation will be that break...search for an exotic getaway and we escape the stress..we wear sunglasses, dressup appropriately and then enjoy...it is usually some sightseeing, chilling, some parties, some new friends made and a lifetime of memories carried in our minds..i have done all this and i felt that beautiful memories are the only compensation we receive in return. Definitely, i don't want to speak against the fact that a vacation is better than work..My idea of this whole work-take a break-work is that though an occasional break is obviously necessary but i think it should be work as if u r enjoying it..thereby there is no boredom or stress or anything wrong..that would happen only when you would love what you are doing..i spent a lot of time thinking how i want to tour mumbai, how i want to enjoy my time there..and till now my feelings are that my time in mumbai should be something between a tour and work there.
I loved mumbai mainly because of its many colours..
grey: colour of the sky when it rained.
colourfull: people there.
culture:the culture of mumbai is a strange mix of that of the entire india. Though i did not find a traditional andhra meal being served anywhere there..i still loved the marathi culture blending perfectly with every culture that migrated to mumbai.. wonderfull
blue:the colour of the sea..sometimes its black..lol..little i want to speak about.
everything about mumbai appealed and still does appeal to my very inmost soul..i just love everything about that city...i would love if i had much of my life connected to that city..its just madness in me..
i could describe what i felt...its not much...but its just simple to understand if you would have read this much..
Happiness, i felt and still do..after all i was born in mumbai too.
this is an update..i am doing this for the first time this blog was live a few minutes ago i brought it back so that i could write more.
MUMBAI:
LOCAL TRAINS: i had taken two passes for the local trains..one for the central railway another for the western railway..the central had my home station where i lived, bhandup..so i rarely didn't use CR, THAT MEANS central railway..western railway was rather different with lots of GARDI as they call it..gardi means crowd..its usually crowded in local trains...i still remember one day i was walking in dadar station when i felt that it was unusually not crowded..so did everyone who was walking there feel like that. A great public transport system...ISLAND city beautiful, free, with an awesome public transport..people are quite friendly unlike in many other cities..VICTORIA TERMINUS or CST is one of the heritage buildings in mumbai beautifully built in british architecture it was wonderful..i had visited this regularly
everyday
i had walked to colaba from VT the first day i was there thinking it was quite near..it wasn't.
COLABA has a lot of british architecture in it..beautiful..the beaches were though muddy and unpleasant still ignorable as it did not stain the beautiful landscape of mumbai much.
