The Iconic Rajabhai Tower, Fort
Prologue:
Four nights spent in maximum city..The moment one steps in moment it leaves an aha feeling. It’s actually a dream coming true and a life time enjoyment. No wonder locals die for their city!!! When I witnessed the city for the first time in 2002, I was pretty sure that I would love to live there and I did..It’s the proper gateway… a city with a vibrant soul and where millions make their lives.
What’s so special about Mumbai? Everything…I mean everything. The iconic Rajabhai tower, maddening crowd in the local trains, taxis and the various promenades. A lifetime lives in four days..That’s my moja. As I bid farewell to the city, I am still present. At least, my soul is. A happy journey. One has to admit it’s unique in appeal and is a seductress. Just imagine Mumbai was a woman. She would’ve been the hottest and most desirable on earth. Only hitch is that it would be out of reach of ordinary mortals like us. Still, we would never give up on her.
Hard to please everyone but loved by everyone. The complex crowd, fast-paced life where everything is available provided you have the piece of paper with Gandhi-ji’s pic….you name it..you get it. The beautiful bride that you wouldn’t dare to touch for the fear of leaving dust on her. Perfection exist on earth and it comes in the form of Mumbai. A completely crazy, carefree girl sometimes ruthless.
The effect is simply damning. Mumbai has this effect on people. It plays havoc with their life and leaves an element of shock. We often leave everything, in pursuit of happiness. Mumbai is this ‘happiness’. People worship the city as if it’s some Goddess. The Goddess of money, happiness,lust and desire. It gives an unabated self confidence to people. As one gets in the city, one wanna just live the life..you name it, you get it..the night life, its historical buildings..Paani puri, vadapav, cutting..and the people..a cup of coffee might do the magic among the strangest of strangers..so many love stories and friendships bloomed over a cup of coffee.
Few days spent in the city has left an indelible mark on my life. I wanna live the life again..beat the traffic, travel by local trains and BEST buses, get saoked in the monsoon, struggle for living and live life King Size. One never cease to be seduced by this beautiful woman, the seduction has neva got more hotter and fun.
..and the seduction game has just started as we believed in chasing our dreams..only she can fulfil them.
Love
