As the title says m going to compare the two cities that are very close to my heart. And yes, this of course is a favourite subject of debate among the people from these two cities. Aah Delhi! I miss you so... But do I really miss delhi? I guess not. I miss the food and the people. Ya ya I know that Mumbai people will jump on this sentence. 'cos for them delhites are loud, brash, rude and what not. They are the biggest show-offs on this earth! Partially this all maybe true but one thing Mumbai people fail to see is that Delhites have got heart. Once they accept you in their life, they will be with you and stand by you come what may. They know what friendship is 'cos for them there are no boundaries no restrictions for friendship. Unlike Mumbai people who are more concerned about not missing 5.45 pm train when there is another train for the same route every 10 minutes. One thing Mumbai is not short of is People. Rest all is scarce. Plenty of options here! Have you ever tried to analyse the crowd that's seen everywhere? It's individuals walking together. Everyone is alone here. But yes from the face of it, it seems that they all are together.
Having said that, doesn't mean that I hate Mumbai. I love the soul of this city. It has its own charm, it's own attraction. It entices people of all moods and absorbs them. As they say, it's a city of dreams. Millions come here to fulfil their dreams and become a part of the crowd like the waves in Arabian Sea. This city makes you independent and fearless. This city breaks your spirit but does not allow you to give up. Oh no! Not yet!
How can one miss out the monsoon! The best aspect of Mumbai. Wet, pouring, flooded yet running... That's how it is. It's not incorrect when somebody recalls the number of years s/he has been in the city with the number of monsoons s/he has witnessed. Oh! I love the monsoons here so much. Delhi can tease Mumbai with its chilly winters. Nothing is more wonderful than a long drive on a foggy December morning or eating kulfi at a roadside vendor in the middle of the night.
I was not born in any of these cities but I hv spent a significant part of my life in these two cities. You can easily figure out that my heart belongs to the people of Delhi. My take is ; make friends, learn to love and then learn the hard lessons of life. 'Cos these are also very important to become independent and strong. Live in Delhi first and then come to Mumbai. Otherwise you'll be just another indifferent person who sees other person as loud and show-off without realising the presence of a beautiful heart behind those walls.
