I love Mumbai

10 reasons for which I love Mumbai

1. "The rains". its absolutely gorgeous in the monsoon. Though I wouldnt venture out. take a cup of hot tea and just soak in the experience

2. The "local trains": its just amazing to ride in one of them ( not in the peak hour though). They are the arteries of mumbai snaking from one end to another.

3. The Ubiquitous  red "BEST bus". Its sheer fun to ride one especially in the front seat on the top storey of a double decker bus

4. "The sea". Its so soothing to just look at the sea. Especially at marine drive where you can drink in the atmosphere or at chowpatty where one can enjoy a plate of bhel whiffing the salty sea breeze

5. "Udipi restaurants". one can savour cheap and healthy south indian dishes. these joints are spread everywhere, almost one every corner

6. "Vada pav". no where in the world would you get this tasty and spicy sanck. It is enjoyed by young and old, students and professionals. housewives and grandmothers, rich and poor

7. "cutting chai" from the tapari (small shop). its gr8 to catch some gossip over a glass of tea.

8. The funny names of places andheri, chinchpokali, borivili, goregaon, churchgate, bhau cha dhakka (ferry wharf)

9. The quaint irani joints where they serve you brun maska pav and chicken sandwich. I loved the one near my college

10. Last but not the least the people of mumbai. come rain or shine people are always on the move and I believe they are really helpful unlike other cities in India.

well i could go on.....these are the 10 reasons why i really like Mumbai...aamchi mumbai
