Being in Mumbai...

The first thing I noticed as I went from the railway station to my cousin's place, was that I could spot lot more pretty girls at 6 am in mumbai, than I could if I sat all day at MM in Ahmedabad. Surely, Mumbai isn't overhyped! But apart from girls, the other thing that strikes you when you enter Mumbai, is that despite being enormous, it doesn't look as much of a concrete jungle as Ahmedabad. There is a sort of a competition between new artistic, almost loud, buildings and the inconspicuous older buildings with their windows fitted with box-type grills. But the mis-match is blurred out by the tall trees, which are sorely missed in Ahmedabad.

Another thing about Mumbai is its pace. And if long distances are one factor necessitating such high pace, then the weather surely facilitates it. Its beautiful. Only bad part is that due to persistent hard rains, the room gets all damp and if not checked, fungus strikes.

More about Mumbai later. Unfortunately, in my one month of stay here, I havent ventured much out of my college's campus. But one thing is sure, Mumbai is a city to be 'felt' once.

Cheers!!!
