Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is not only the capital of Maharashtra, but also the Financial capital of India. This city is the center for all major institutions in the country like The RBI, Atomic Research Center, Army, Navy and Airforce headquarters and many others. The city, unlike others, is known to be tolerant towards all. The city is also historically important as the Indian National Congress, which spearheaded the Indian Freedom Movement was founded here. Also the Quit India Movement was started from here.
The city has a large heart and has always welcomed strangers with open arms. It is also heartening to note that whoever has the will to work hard can earn enough to feed himself.
Such is Mumbai – The city of dreams, The city that never sleeps. The city where I live.
In the following series, I have just tried to highlight different aspects of the City that keeps it running. From the BEST buses and Local Trains, to the Dabbawallahs and the local newspaper vendor, they all contribute to the City of Dreams.
So I hope you like this small series. All your feedbacks are welcome. My mail id is pradeepmenon89@gmail.com
