The ever-busy city, full of life at any time of the day, Mumbai, ‘Sapno ka Shehar’, has kept amazing us all the time. Just like William Darymple description of Delhi in his book ‘City Of Djinns’, we feel Mumbai too has an energy that can infatuate you for a lifetime.
From becoming the Financial capital of India to the city featuring the cultural amalgamation, Mumbai makes us fall in love with it every time.
Today, while paying our tribute to the martyrs of 26/11, let’s explore the things that fuel the city.
1. Food:
Whenever we think about eateries in Mumbai, street food tops our list. From Vada Pav to Bhel Puri and tantalizing Pav Bhajis from CST and the hawkers, your taste buds are never going to have a dull moment in the streets of Mumbai. While the food amazes us, finishing the evenings with cutting chai and vada pav is surely going to be one of the best experiences of your life.
2. Shopping Streets:
Want to roam around in style without burning a hole in your pocket? Then head over to Mumbai to satisfy your shopper gene. From Linking road, Hill Road, Fashion street to Colaba, the city offers you the latest trends at a very cheap price. Shop around Chor Bazar to bring a fresh look to your house and we bet the other markets won’t disappoint you at all.
3. Bollywood:
Bombay and Bollywood are like the complimentary dishes, that loses the taste if you separate them. With the entire Film Fraternity, taking up space in Andheri, Oshiwara, Bandra and even Vashi, the Bungalow tours are quite famous across the nation. Spotting Shahrukh Khan in the streets of Mumbai is definitely a rare sight but pictures in front of Mannat and Jalsa is something that no one can miss.
4. Night Life:
The city that never sleeps, is full of colours and lights even at night time. While the clubs and bars stay open till late at night, you will be surprised to find the streets and beach sides (Juhu, Carter Road, Marine Lines) bustling with the young crowd. Though the Kaali Peeli Taxi era ended in Mumbai, you will always find cabs at a convenient price in Mumbai without risking your safety.
5. Beaches:
Lying amidst the Arabian sea, Mumbai offers you soulful beaches that will find a permanent place in your memories. The tales of Juhu, Aksa, Chowpaty and many other beaches are well known to every Indian but unlike other beaches of India, Mumbai beaches are always full of life and you will be mesmerized by the beautiful sunset. Wait for the evenings to grow and you will see how the Mumbai gathers to enjoy its time after work.
