Mumbai, Mayanagri.......The City of Dreams!!!!!

The city which witnesses the onslaught of hundreds of people everyday, which overflows on all sides, where being "street smart" is the necessary baggage to carry, and a city where the contrast between extremes stretches to unimaginable extremities.

This is Bombay, oops, Mumbai, seen through the eyes of a dilliwala. So a lot of the forthcoming posts might contain a lot of direct and indirect comparisons between the national capital and the financial capital of the country, vis-a-vis, the city where i grew up and the city where I currently am in on an adventurous journey, respectively.

These posts are an honest attempt at portraying the nuances of the city which has begun to amaze me and excite me. The portrayal will come across through the filter of my eyes of course, as also through the Dilliwala in me.

In no sense will these posts or comparisons contained in them aim at ranking one city lower or higher then the other, or to comment on the establishments' achievements or failures. As said earlier, all these accounts will be based on the unique experiences, realizations, feelings, and observances in a new city, in an attempt to understand the character, or in a way to touch the soul of the new city, just like i managed to do it to some extent, back home in Delhi.

Another very important thing...... I would like to dedicate these blog posts to one Mayank Austen Soofi, whom I idolize, look up to and envy. Mayank writes for HT City in Delhi and blogs by the name 'The Dilliwala'. He does everything that i wish to do in the city I love the most, my very own Delhi. I aspire to draw inspiration from his work, but in no way will I attempt to match his excellence.

Hoping for a refreshing, exciting and fulfilling new journey.
