Mumbai: The Land Of Dreams

[ritu 1]

I wasn't a part of this city till 2010, but by the end of 2010, when I landed here I was too happy that I have managed to do so. I have heard people saying that if anyone really wants to pursue a dream, Mumbai is the place. As I walked out of the airport to hire a cab, it was the first time I had seen such crowd rushing. I asked my husband why these people seemed to be in a hurry as it was almost midnight, I received a firm and simple answer from him who has transformed into a localite that most people here don't have much time to waste, they spend a considerable amount of time travelling, and wouldn't miss a chance to grab the earliest mode of transport available. To be very honest, I was somewhat intimidated by the cyclonic pace of the city, I wondered how was I to cope with them. After covering a long distance, we reached home and I found that people here had much smaller spaces to live in,another piece of worry for me, the markets , whatever time you visit them were always crowded. It seemed nobody had the time to even look at someone passing by, let alone smiling. The set of experiences that I gathered were lets say mixed. Gradually as time passed by, it was for me to notice the changes in ........ can you guess???? myself I had started liking the city , the crowd- as I too had become a part of it and badly missed it when not around; the din and bustle- it injected kind of steroids containing life in me; the travelling- many of you won't agree as to how someone can like travelling in Mumbai, its not convenient but an everlasting learning experience, makes you tough like hell; the accommodation part which I initially viewed as congested, now had me realise that it was easier for me to keep it clean, I thought the people to be rude, later I was happy that they weren't too inquisitive and hardly bothered one another, the city gave me a chance to grow as a professional and get prepared to face the hardships of life, "The city that never sleeps" gave me the stamina to stay awake with vigour. Thanks a ton Mumbai, you truly rock!!!!

Truely Mumbai is a land of Dreams. Having so many beautiful places to vist. I personally love to visit bandstand or the gate way of India during a day off where you have beautiful boats small and huge, watching the sunset and the beautiful, grand and ancient Taj Mahal hotel . I Love shopping at Fashion street i.e. bandra and going to the beautiful beaches like the Juhu Beach and Aksa Beach etc.

Mumbai is the dreamland of every individual who comes to this place with a dream, that one day he will achieve something brilliant in life. It is true that people achieve many things in Mumbai.For some people, life becomes very difficult in this place and they leave this place. But for some others, life is really beneficial and they stick to this place. Everyday innumerable people come to Mumbai for various reasons. Some for a living, some for better education and some want to fulfill their dreams. But whatever it might be...Mumbai welcomes everyone heartfully. Mumbai is famous for many things. Its richness, crowded trains, skyscraper building and we should not forget our Vada-Pav. It is one of the famous things that mumbaites are aware of...There are many famous places in Mumbai. The Gateway of India, Elephanta caves, Taj hotel along with Oberoi Hotel. The Siddivinayak temple and the blessings of Lord Ganesha has always been the strong point of Mumbai. The spiritual environment is really blissful one during Ganesh Puja in Mumbai.How can we forget the Bollywood? One of the big glamour world of Mumbai. Young stars with an inspiration to become an actor or actress, they come to this place to fulfill their dreams. Many end up being in small place and some in wrong place. Only one makes it to the top and for him it is a cherishable moment.If you are a hardworker, you always get an outlet to move forward in Mumbai. If you stop yourself becoming disheartened with your failures or wrong experience. Then it is very difficult to survive.At some point pressure is too high in this place. Where survival becomes very difficult to you...but we have no other option, but to hold our nerves...that something good is waiting for you. We cannot lose our hope and faith. These are things that always drive us to move further.In other words, Mumbai is our Mother who always holds you in your arm, if you have a faith in it. So make your heart beat for Mumbai.
