Mumbai

Mumbai is known as a busy city. Fast life is the phrase which is suited to this city. One of the Metropolitan city in India While for some out-of-towners, it is Mumbai’s rocking nightlife that impresses them, for others, it is the fast pace life of the city that attracts them towards the city. Crores of people will come to this city for business purposes. Travelling through Locals is an amazing experience for everyone. We can see every aspect of life style in this city. We will get all the food dishes right from Vada pav to the paneer butter masala. The exorbitant nature of Mumbai and the soaring property rates are just a few things that distresses the common man. The rates of land are touching to the sky. For a common man if he wants to buy single bedroom flat , he has to atleast invest some thirty- thirty five lakhs for his dream house.Mumbai feels that anyone who moves here must adjust and compromise if they want to live here. But how can one try to adjust in a city where there are more potholes than good roads, more litter than dustbins, and at least four people standing at any given point in time on your feet in the local trains; a city where you cannot even dream of alighting at Andheri station even though the train stops for fifteen seconds!
Mumbai is known to be a city of dreams realisation and people from every nook and corner of India and abroad land up in this city to make big. The person who is crazy about the food will love this city. For a foodie, loves to feast on the junk food available in the city and has no issue with city food. Chaotic traffic and paucity of accommodation are the two main problems in the city. A person has to travel a lot for going to the job place. But Railway service is excellent. This city has gown around the railway tracks. We will find number of stations while travelling. Train frequency was amazing. Every five minutes we will find the train for the respective destination. Mumbai has always been termed as the city where dreams come true and career prospects have always drawn people to this city. But besides that, higher studies are another driving force for many people. Initially, the exhaustive commuting and the city's always-on-the-move attitude were posing a problem for everyone. But as time passes ,people will use to these situations. This city sleeps only for 3 hours. I remembered the first train starts at 4:15 am. This city is live for 24 hours. Beyond a doubt, this city is not an easy place to cope with but, all one needs to do here is simply ask for help and there will be someone or the other to lend a helping hand.Many people who have made Mumbai their home, feels that Mumbaikars are the real asset of this dynamic city. People are much more compassionate and understanding, and they never let people down in their time of need. The festivities here are unlike any other metros. It is amazing to see how Mumbaikars celebrates even the smallest festival with a lot of enthusiasm and fanfare. The workaholic tendencies of this city set this city apart from the rest of the country. But, she also feels that the kind of life that Mumbai offers, with its abundant career opportunities, is apt for people who look for an independent life. This budding management professional believes that the Mumbai's frantic pace, extensive travelling, lack of cleanliness, heard mentality and of course the exorbitant nature are some of the cons that tax many people like others.
I feel Mumbai is one place that can accommodate people from all the sections of the society. A person earning about Rs 2,000 a month can also survive in this city. The best part is if you are short of funds you can feed yourself with a vada pav that is available for a meagre Rs 5. As far as lack of cleanliness and hygiene conditions are concerned, the scenario is the same throughout the country. While on one hand fluency in Marathi helped ones to find their way in this giant metro, on the other hand Mumbaikars’ support never let anybody down.
At last I said this is the dream city for everyone. Here you will get good exposure in every field and you can flourish in respective streams.
