im mumbai, east meets west
Mumbai also has a dark side, as there is a fermented slum under the feet of every skyscraper.
As I set foot on the city of dreams, my pulse was beating with enthusiasm.
I sat in awe from the trendy airport to the crowded streets.
Suddenly Kolkata felt like a small village in my pocket.
I craned my neck to see the skyscrapers of the city.
Higher, bigger, brighter
The immense and complex of Mumbai\'s wealth is something I have heard of, but it is another matter to witness it in all its glory.
Within an hour of my arrival, I knew that the city had a monster\'s appetite to grab it, chew it, and become India\'s ridicule of the growing power of the world.
But Mumbai also has its dark side, because there is a fermented slum under the feet of every skyscraper.
My mind is filled with the question of why there is a series of poverty in the dark flow of the metropolis.
Then I realized that with so much money, ambition and so many ambitious people, there must be those who try to fail.
Here you either do it or break it;
This is a land without people. betweeners.
This is the risk of the power and wealth that comes with our wildest dreams.
My trip to Mumbai is a double pursuit of work and vacation.
After all my life, I decided to become a journalist and intern.
My first job in an unknown urban jungle was an idea that upset me before I could put up with it.
Luckily, I met Mumbaikar.
This may sound old-fashioned, but when you talk about monbagar, it\'s correct to never judge a book by its cover.
Yes, they are dressed well and it is a strange thing to find a person wearing strange clothes.
But people are as good as they look;
They are hospitable and carefree.
They don\'t interfere with your business. The last thing they think about is judgment.
You can be a girl in shorts or a boy with too many piercings, but no matter where you go, there won\'t be a pair of eyes that follow you and leave too many charges of sin.
For a city struggling with stress and turmoil, life is a gift that swings along one side.
Food is next.
This is the only thing that can change my day.
I do what I can
Smokin Joe\'s and Pizza by the Bay, to random small-time joints.
But the winner was the Musinga cafe and Theobroma.
However, I am still proud to think that Kolkata rules here and it is in drop-
The price of the dead and the platter catering to all tastes.
As June approached, after a meal in my wallet, I started packing a suitcase --
Will return to Colaba in Kolkata.
In Mumbai, I learned what the worst rainfall was, how paralyzed traffic would be, and how money would disappear.
But I also learned about the direction of India and how far we have come.
Yes, there is a big gap, but at least we are working hard.
