Life has kind of come to a full circle for me. I remember seven years ago when I landed myself in this crazy city called Mumbai. I felt like Alice in Wonderland and now after all these years when I m starting a new journey I still am very much in love with this wonderland.
So what is so special about Mumbai you might ask? It is crowded, polluted and the infrastructure is going from bad to worse...yes I admit this is the ground reality. But somehow for me this city is still special for it taught me to love myself and trust myself despite the oddities. To bounce back despite the lows. And the people here are the craziest of the lot. They will not even bother to say a polite HI on a normal day but come any disaster-natural or otherwise, they won't hesitate to help each other out stride through the day. Yes we are the "most" spirited of them all, don't all the calamities prove that??
It is also not that the city has shown me only good times. A broken friendship, a minor heartbreak and such other things are challenging even for a confident girl like me but as they say tough moments don't last forever tough people do, this too shall pass.
YUP! thats why this city is so special for me, it has taught me to get up and move on whenever I fall and make lemonade when life gives you lemons. Will definitely miss this crazy city with its crazier people!

An ever crazier city with crazier people awaits you...All the very best!!!
whenever i see a post of such nature i wonder why I've never felt that belonging/affection for a city as yet. been in many, yet not in love with any. :)
it is heart warming to see someone so in love with Mumbai, notwithstanding the pollution/the crowds et al.
