There is something about Mumbai

Enigmatic,incomprehensible I am not sure how I can term it, but there is definitely something mystifying about the place.

A city which never sleeps, a city which boasts one of the best transport infrastructure in the country, Mumbaiites say you can never get lost in their beloved city, I disagree but I am not trying

Malabar Hill, Lokhandwalla, Hiranandani and Dharavi too
Mahalakshmi,Siddhivinayak and Haji Ali, every nationality, every religious sect, live cheek-by-jowl
Marine Drive, those gigantic waves leaping over the walls, the Queen's necklace, the Gateway of India
The city of celluloid dreams, of rags-to-riches tales
Of pavement dwellers,and noisy chawls and of sprawling bungalows at Bandra

But, also of daylight shoot-outs, of dubious business deals, of bomb blasts, the 1993 riots

Yet, the next day, there is the usual rush for the 7:37 local.
And that is what is so unfathomable about the city
