Yes, this is a filmy line, but it sums up my very sentiment towards this great city. I can write and discuss about it forever and still not adequately convey the greatness of the city fully, nor my love for it. (and BTW I always called it Mumbai during my childhood and this was more referring myself as the 'Pai from Mumbai' and not for any political reasons. Bombay is actually closer to me than Mumbai is...Ok this is only for the Indians who will get what I am saying)
I have been an itinerant Indian. Within India my family has
travelled to various places thanks to the banking job of my dad. Once I was asked which place did I like best
from the towns and cities we had stayed in, and I said all of them. Each one of
them was special to me.
We had started of in Mumbai and then it was a few cities
after that. But Mumbai feels special to
me for my career more than anything else.
One of my Insti friends had told us how everyone had to eventually come to Mumbai if they had to grow – I mean
it was inevitable. (even though Gurgaon and Delhi/NCR is soon turning out to be
a bigger centre of gravity now).
