Mumbai darshan

Yeah,as the title suggests,last week I had my first trip to Mumbai,the city which I had just seen in Movies & I wanted to visit for long.But,since I went for an interview,didn't have the bandwidth to travel around much.All I went to was Marine Drive & Inorbit mall...but within the short stay,I was bowled over by the tremendous glamour of the city.While going across the Sea-link,the worli-skyline looked akin to Dubai from a distance & felt the same from marine-drive as well.While CS-staion was like a heritage-spot, LTT station resembled an airport...it does come across as a city with contrasting features.Moreover,the sheer cosmopolitan nature of the city's crowd made me feel like I was in Kolkata only,but 10 years ahead.Indeed,the bustling of the traffic,the breeze from Arabian Sea,the smell of Vada-pao...all such nuances make the composite hodge-podge called Mumbai.....a city so much like other metro's...yet with a character oh her own!
