Sometimes it is difficult to see the beauty of Mumbai.... actually it is not that difficult to see Mumbai as being only dirty... I have to confess however that ever since I came back from my secondment, my view, attitude and feelings towards Mumbai drastically changed... I had suddenly become critical... almost like the relationship was turning sour... I could find no beauty in anything in Mumbai... A city which not so long back meant the world to me and which made me feel secure was suddenly irritating me... I hated the noise, the pollution, dirty roads and even the people!

Mumbai had suddenly become tooo small for me... there was nothing exciting about mumbai... even the beach began to irritate me cos of its dirt and people's liberal access to it... the systems which seemed to punish people for their simple basic needs... I was fed up...

not that life in mumbai is any better.. but there is some merit in accepting something with all their flaws.... same case for Mumbai....
