Officially known as 'Mumbai', I like to call it, what most Goans like to call it 'Bombay' or 'Bomai'. Yeah it is not just another city, but an indescribable emotion.
It is called a city of dreams and many do set foot here with hopes of making it large in the city. With hopes high up in the sky and dreams larger than life, many don't even get a place to sleep. The amount of sweat this city demands can't be easily ignored.
Given all that, the city has an important lesson to teach. No matter what, the city never stops. Among all the fanfare and glamour attributed to the city, it has also terrifying tales to tell. However hard it might get, the city always tells you to Get Going my friend!
This city has given me the best of times that I could imagine, but it's the same city where it all ended too. As I travel in the city, it is very hard to keep my heart from wandering in the by-lanes of the past. Considerable time has passed by and a lot have changed since then. But do I regret those times? No. Do just as the city teaches, Do not stop and Get Going my friend!
It is this never dying spirit that you will find in every person you meet in the city. May be it is in his rush to get in the already crowded local or the many people who dream at the marine drive. It is an emotion that you can only feel but can't describe.
It is BOMBAY: an Emotion and not a city.
