The Sleepless City

This one draws inspiration from my visit to the sleepless city-Mumbai.
I guess its called the sleepless city as their is no place for commeners to have a nap leave aside sleeping. With the advent of monsoons the city transforms into a romantic swamp with traffic horns hitting your years like supernovas.
Example- During my intern here it often used to take me just about two hours to travel a long distance of 5 km .And why didnt I walk--- Cause first of all you need to able to see the ground before you start to think about walking.
Hail Mumbai.The only thing I love about Mumbai is that I don't find anything here lovable ( except mine family , ofcourse).
Well and guess what -Anil Ambani is getting an underground metro built in the city which is virtualy flooded to a standstill during monsoons.Hail Mumbai
The tower during construction built in the middle of the road recently fell - killing 1 or 2, but this is an immortal city .No one cares here.
I agree Mumbai has loads of positives to.Auto waalas put the meter on the moment u sit in his auto.Very unlike Delhi where you spent the first 10 minutes bargaining and the journey trying to ensure that the auto wala is not using the centripetal effect on you ( moving you in circles).
Mumbai janta are generaly nice but ya unconcerned.
Rest all here id just OK
In short i love Delhi and m indifferent bout Mumbai

Pyaare....you compared delhi and bombay. That's why people can say that it's subjective....try comparing chennai and mumbai...people will say that a truth had been articulated with diplomatic words.....:(
