Mumbai utterly disappoints.

I had expectations and I was in awe about Mumbai due to two reasons. I have fond memories of growing up in Mumbai. In childhood, you don't have sense of quality. Moreover nostalgia distorts memory. Secondly, I had heard stories of Mumbai, implying greatness of the city. The tall claims included...

Its pretty obvious he grew up in kasara or karjat and visited Dharavi. :P Mumbai is beautiful only for those who can afford its beauty. Its certainly not a place for the poor. ThankYou! I have visited Mumbai for just 2 months and it grew into me, I felt like I am a part of this amazing city...
