Unforgettable trip

from the image itself there wouldn't be any doubt that this post is about Mumbai/India...


but i wouldn't be writing what Mumbai is all about and how it is the financial and commercial  center of India with the highest GDP.


i would rather describe about my first impression of the famous metropolitan and my little experience.. i only heard that Mumbai is a city that never sleeps and people are so engrossed in their fast pace life that its difficult for others who prefer a normal routine to survive in the city.


the fast pace modern life where everyone is in a hurry minding their own business can be seen even if you stand in one station of the city for few minutes.. i saw this while standing in Church gate station for a while , it almost looked like if i don't stand in the sideline i would get lost in the follow and reach another station or destination even against my will ... now that would pretty much give a rough idea of the rush ...

i wanted to see gateway of India and was actually surprised they do security screening before letting anyone near the monument, something entirely alien to me coming from a small place that has no security checks except at airport. but places like mumbai where every one's life is threatened by few extremists whose sole aim is destroying whatever harmony we have today, its hard to stand there and analyse how life would be like.


cant deny that i expected something extra ordinary as gateway of India and dint quite meet my expectation .. but the surrounding atmosphere, the liveliness, the close by views were indeed breathtaking and worth beholding.


went around the city wherever possible (with my limited time), tried local food and stood at places percieving the surroundings...

Mumbai is something different altogether and yeah it does meet the hype created around it... i loved my visit and i actually had three tea in a row from a small local shop(never had such great quality tea anywhere else)
