It's ok, you so-called 'Mumbaikars' (or whatever it is they call you guys) and the other 'patriotic Indians' don't have to bristle in indignation at what sheetal kaur or stav have pointed out. Forget the language..what they say is unfortunately all too true. Mumbai is one of the filthiest 'cities' (that is if you can really call it a city) in a by and large dirty and shabby country. No point fooling ourselves by shouting about Mumbai's 'spirit' or whatever..fact remains, it is quite an unlivable place. It is ridiculous to even COMPARE Mumbai to New York, or for that matter any city in the West..more like comparing a molehill to a mountain...forget New York, look at the cities in China, forget even that..even Delhi and Bangalore look neater than Mumbai. Sadly, Mumbai's administration has made sure it is a city that is dying a slow but sure death. 'To know Mumbai one has to live in Mumbai'. Nicely said. I have lived in Mumbai, for three years. It did give me money, true. But at the end of it I felt I had lost not three, but six years of my life living in that hellhole. The sad thing is that this is true of almost any big city in India..Delhi, Bangalore, Calcutta, Chennai..I have lived in all of them, and they are all uninhabitable. Maybe we should think of making our so-called 'cities' livable..New York, London yeh sab door ki bat hai...(sigh)..
