yes.. they could be compared ..30 years ago probably when mumbai was one of the most beautiful cities in the world.. with its old charm.. But now its just beyond compare even with its own past .. forget comparing it to any other big city in the world... the civic mess and lack of civic sense have turned it into a nightmare.. except for few areas of vintage south mumbai ..which is untouched.. but rest is a mess. yes.. u'll always be attached to mumbai if u've grown up or lived there.. no matter what... but u can't help but feel bad for the way its self destructing..
