Why It’s Hard To Live Anywhere Else After You’ve Lived In Mumbai.

Mumbai Locals
The lifeline of the Mumbai-Nagri. Yes, it does look a bit scary at first but I have been to Mumbai quite a few times before and I have never ever hesitated to hop onto the locals. You eventually get used to the crowd which pushes you into the train just as it pushes you out of it as soon as the train arrives at your station. ‘While traveling in the local, I observe the unknown faces and admire the spirit of the locals who, in spite of the rush and the madness have a serene expression on their face’

Gateway of India
It is believed that in the bygone times, The Gateway of India was the first structure that visitors arriving in Mumbai by boat would see. I cannot help but admire this place endlessly. The thousands of sparrows fluttering in the sky is such a comforting view. Whenever I happen to be in Mumbai I make sure to visit this place for the majestic view that it offers.

CST Terminus
This stunning structure has taken a good 10 years to complete. Standing in this station for a while makes me think that this city is tagged with the phrase ‘Time is Money’ for all the right reasons. It’s the spirit of Mumbai that no matter what bad omen strikes upon this lively city, people would wake up the next day and go on to chase their passion and achieve their dreams. Not even director Danny Boyle could resist the lure of CST’s grand edifice and so he filmed parts of the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire on the platforms of this historic station.
