Dear Muneer I cant wonder from which part of India you are, but your definately not a Mumbaikar.... You need to feel the vibrance this city has to offer, and may be learn couple of lessons from this city. Yes parts of Delhi are good especially diplomatic enclave & Rajbhavan area.
May be its time you visit inraods of Delhi & discover the luxary of travel in Overcharged & crooked rickshawals, your Delhis first class Blue line buses, girls being molested in open public spaces & ofcours our gift of taxpayers money the metro.
Feel the vibrance of Mumbai, Let it be the bomb attacks or last year floods, No city in world can stand to this not even when Katrina struck US or Bomb attack in London.

thats a load of nonsense about mumbai\\\'s corporate tax contribution ,which i have been hearing for years. The fact is many corporations are headquatered in mumbai but have factories all over india and all over the world. so tata has factories in places like bihar and jharkhand and tea gardens in the north east. most of the income for these companies comes from places outside bombay. so lets stop blowing mumbai\\\'s contribution out of propertion

i fully agree. mumbai people are the rudest in the world, i have seen. they lack basic human politeness to a new comer. slums and overcrowding everywhere, be it buses, trains, markets, parks, beaches,roads, everywhere, it is people, people and people. everyone looks very very busy and no time for others. behaviour is very rude. hotels are unhygenic, food is totally adultrated, even mineral water is polluted, noise pollution is very high. any other indian city is far far better. costs are very high, be it buses, restaurants, autos and taxis, due to one way and many signals. they say BMC is the richest, but they do not care about sanitation. If we walk on the roads, it is stinking smell. prostitutes soliciting for customers everywhere, near cinemas, parks, railway stations, beaches, temples. I really feel how people are living here. Everyone looks very very busy with no time for others, be it the fellow earning Rs.100 as daily wages per day or a fellow (representative with a tie). TAKE IT EASY, LOOK BUSY is the order of the day. You ask for some direction and they simply show u go straight and many misguide u. Everything is in a great mess here. Long queues everywhere, be it bus stand, train station, airport, cinemas. No one seems to care for the city. The rich are just not bothered, the BMC is great slumber. 2 years back on 26/6 2005, there was a great deluge and a great hue and cry. Bombaites are just like buffalows, even if it rains on them, they just don't bo

plz dont spread rumors mr.venkatraman.All know what mumbai is!!!i have travelled the metros and personally i feel mumbai is far better than others less crime,less politics, high growth and best managed city in india.This is not what i am commenting but are proven by newspapers and magazines through analysis and research.
farmers like amitabh is leaving ,so no doubts of such rainwhen such farmers are living then dont expect any developments ,we guys have to relieaze that our money is wasted fr the political luxory
Rains wash off our city drainage system, airports & train gets choke, business dies..once in blue moon is ok but this happens every year more over happening in every city. The sign of development is always infrastructure & we don't show our growth though we are growing by having such a bad infrastructure. Doesn rain only happen in India? Does snow, rain, floods, sand strom doesn't happen in other countries? Be prepared to talk about the same topic next year....see you in 2008.

All our planners, thinkers, and we ourselves should try our best to start living in natural conditions, giving a small space for concrete structures to stand and more space for rain water to be imbibed into soil where ever it strikes the ground. If we make hundreds of hectares of land concretized or barren, no doubt we are inviting runoff, consequently floods. At last me have developed to such an extent that we have forgotten to save and protect the three most important elements for our living that - pure air, potable water and unadulterated food. Except this we are getting all other thing on this earth, now. These things nature has provided us. But we destroyed it arrogantly to hurl the flag of material development. At least now everybody should try to give less importance to live in concrete structures and more importance to live in natural locales, that is within our residential or office boundaries. When 75% of living space is covered with vegetation and only and hardly 25% with bloody concrete, the human existence can be guaranteed for the future. Otherwise the human existence itself will be questionable. More planting - less mining, more naturality - less artificiality, is demanding. Try to minimize all kinds of pollution at all three stages like mining, manufacturing and utilization levels, as whatever we are now noticing is due to global warming. The main culprit here is our unending wants, those demand manufacturing, that in turn demand mining.

I am a cosmopolitan and a globe trotter. I have been to many cties in India. Although born and brought in Calcutta, I have never seen a vibrant city like Mumbai. Whatever happens still Mumbai as has been and will always bounce back on Tracks. Monsoons are always worst in Mumbai especially after 26/7, still Mumbai has bounced back to normalcy after the deluge within a week. Sufferings of the people were on a high, still the vibrancy and the feelings in every ones heart needs to be mentioned and that why Mumbai is outstanding against any INDIAN cities.

My contribution - You. I think a maratha wont understand what i mean over here, else mumbai ki ye halat nahi hoti. Come down and see in Gujarat. We have created oppertiunities in villanges, electrified all villanges over 3000 populations. Corporates are lining up. More then one city are developing. Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, Jamnagar, Mudra, Gandhidham, Ankleshwar, baroda, rajkot, surendrangar, bhuj.
See your cities. Pune - 5 hrs power cut, Nagpur-6 hrs powercut, Kolhapur- 7-9 hrs powercut, Satara -11 hrs powercut, Villages -13 hours. Major villanges - no power.
Enpower people, resources and support & ideas will develop from within sociery.

You have no clue about Mumbai or India's dependence on the city then. About 75% of India's corporate tax comes from Mumbai. 40% of India's tourists choose to enter the country via Mumbai. Its airport (the subject of this article) is the biggest in terms of flight movements and passengers in South Asia. The country's dependence on Mumbai cannot be overestimated - while the babus in Delhi do weird things, the economic boom of the past decade or so is largely Mumbai's contribution.

True Aparna, Mumbai has a lot of Infrastuctural Problems aka road congestions, bottle necks, reckless builders and promoters, loadshedding and peak water problems during the summer. Politicians blame of a huge influx from other parts of the country but they never think of the city. It is only for the people of Mumbai and again I have mentioned - VIBRANCY and unity which has made these sort of problem into a mole. We are beggars but give us our due share that Mumbai in terms of revenue to the country and we have the ability to change the face of our city. Cities like Tokyo, Shanghai has much more population but infrastucture there is more to support the influx of the people. Let politiancs stop blame game and give their due share to Mumbai and we will change the city. And of course if I myself do not eat the vada pao I feel like I am missing something.

these rains where there earlier too but the clogging was not such , this is due to buildings coming up abruptly and no care taken for the drainaige , the builder lobby is to be blamed for this they should be fined very heavily if drainage is not taken care

Do you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone! Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".
Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the Candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....
Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is ven more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance.
So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this information.
