i had the misfortune of visiting mumbai for 3 days. my impression is that it looks like a broken sewer pipe with rats, cockroaches and pests running helter-skeleter. i thank my stars that i am in a professional area which does not have anything to do with the indian stock market or for that matter anything do with the indian market or customers. when i see the images on TV of the recent rains, i really feel sorry for the people living in the city. the government and the administration should wake up before it becomes another palgue afflicted surat.

thank you for your compliments...we are all rats and cockroaches and pests...and we are happy the way in which we live and the conditions in which we survive... We pray to your Stars to keep you always in a professional area having no connection whatsoever with Mumbai for ever.

why do you have to be so defensive. is it not there right in front of our eyes. just because we love the city, does not mean that nobody should criticize it. anyways we should stop talking about Shanghai and try to atleast keep our parks and green belts alive before they turn into concrete jungles.

dont understand why you are getting upset with facts- am happy that you are happy with mumbai as we all are with the cities/towns where we live but civic amentities are lacking in all. We must always try and better the roads/drainage and other services so that we are at par. Nothing to get upset about. I live in Calcutta which was the worst place to live in from 1970's till recently yet loved the city and the atmosphere but cursed the power cuts/roads/drainage-water logging and everything. Do not excuse the authorities for not providing the services which they should have.

ha ha... see who are all talking, suggesting in a forum which does not serve any purpose... you should realise these things when you abstain from voting on municipal elections...

I think it is not a question of loving or hating a city. It was a city which India was proud of. Let us work to regain that glory. If you proud to be a Mumbaikars, please let us display it in opposing unplanned development. Though we have lived here for more than 50 years, and proud of the city and heritage, sadly what the reader'campro' says is indeed true. most visitors will leave mumbai with that image. we can not blame them for that.
