Mumbai Meri Jaan

The insomniac that i am, was listening to 92.7fm at 1.30 am,listening to the superb songs RJ anirudh plays on his show..he came up with this topic tht a few days back the firangi madonna had visited India and had planned a 4 day stay at Mumbai....And when she was here she didnt like the city much and returned back within 2 days reason: the pollution here,the roads,the traffic jam blah blah blah....this made Rj anirudh ask his listeners whether if they were to show their fellow mates mumbai on their first visit,would they be proud of the city or ashamed of it..and i was expecting every caller to say tht watever it may be they would be proud of this city where they live in...
but to my surprise except for one caller,every1 stated tht they wud be ashamed of showing the city around to their friends..
One caller said tht one of his friends compared Mumbai to the other metropolitian cities..He was amazed at the pollution,population,roads,trains...He said train mein toh aise log bharte hai jaise ghai bhes ka tabela ho..left me thinkin
After the show was over,gave it a thought Mumbai is called the city of dreams,if ppl think its a polluted,populated,unsafe city why do they come here to try their fortune...stay back at ur own neat and clean city..
Mumbai has dreams,spirit,oneness,brotherhood,never die attitude..the best examples are the floods on 26th and the bomb last
Sharukh Khan came from Delhi and made it big here in MUMBAI
Amitabh bachan came from Illahabad and is the most famous persona v have here..
it is upon how u stay here,how u look at it....if the ppl here are lil more careful,are aware of their duties,has civic sense then i am sure it wont be late tht they change their minds...
i have stayed for 20 years of my life in Mumbai i can bet that there cannot be any other city tht can match the standard mumbai has created in any aspects....
