MayaNagri

I was talking to my colleague Manish today. He asked me how far is Andheri from our office & I said, “Half an hour by my bike”

We measure distance by hours instead of kilometers here. Not only this, there are many soch things I have seen and experienced in Mumbai or as I call it; #MayaNagri!!

It’s a Massive Breath taking loud colorful chaotic vibrant MESS!

It’s a city of murmuring traffic and twinkling cars, the multi-millionaires, the movie stars.

It’s a masterpiece of sand and dust and woods and concrete AND the Dreams of Millions with an unlimited supply of “Kya ukhad lega #$%^&^%$#”

A desperate rush to be anywhere & everywhere and ending up! Nowhere…

Stuck in Mumbai roads??

Just start 5 minutes late from your place & you’ll reach late by half an hour for sure!

The question I heard many a times_ Are you from the south or the north?

Not Country…, City!!!

Where are you from Andheri or Colaba or “MA KA BO” (Malad_ Kandivali_ Borivali)

People judge you on many things; even on suburb you stay.

Here the connecting links among people are Vadapav, Bus, Train and Cricket.

I have seen cricket stopping the entire Mumbai!

Cricket is the thing which brings country together, 

I have seen Hindus & Muslims & Christians & Parcies & Jews all talking about the effect Sachin Tendulkar had on the game

School, college, work & life

Forgotten.. just to watch India Vs. Pakistan match   

People standing outside shops & rushing towards home just to catch up some overs

How the life revolves around the next over, next match, next TV show

Sometimes around Next Rupee!

Next Meal!

Life in Mumbai is odd like that!!

Sometimes I feel, this city is me & I am it! I still don’t know am I living my dream or it’s a nightmare!

The life is tough here, everyone is busy & sometimes; you’ll be standing with 100s of your friends; still you’ll feel alone

After all this; I know one thing for sure! If you can survive here; at this city, you can survive the anywhere and everywhere…
