Some Mumbai observations as a non Mumbaikar
-
Young boys of Juhu, Bandra, Versova all look like Aryan Khan and Vedang Raina (Archies starcast), like everyone is an actor here or what?
-
The traffic isn't shitty, the drivers are. They are coming at you from everywhere, left right front. If you can drive here, you are good for anywhere tbh
-
Only 1% of the Two wheelers drivers wear helmet. No fear of traffic cops if not for life?
-
The roads man, the roads. Never appreciated Delhi/Gurgaon more than seeing such tiny roads across the country
-
The pay disparity is on the face! Posh areas with tall buildings are lined with small houses - tarpaulin roof, bare walls but AC units
-
The family bond is very evident - families watching TVs together with windows open (why don't they draw curtains tbh?) or be it on beaches over the weekend. It's cute nonetheless ❤️
-
The safety is crazy (in a very good way). I was out at 10pm last night, and my mind was panicking like shit. But looks like, be it 10 am or 10pm, it is BAU for the city
-
Have you seen the traffic signals? Apart from the usual, they have four tubelights in perpendicular. Just cannot jump lights now!
-
Metro has 4 coaches 😆
-
The Sea heals parts of your soul you didn’t even know were broken 🥺
I'll add more 🫣
Mumbai is the only city where I have seen swinging at such a profane scale. Some of the parties I have been made me realize that these folks are literally living in pure hedonism which is too much fun.
Agree with most Adding my own observations
- Too diverse, and in a very short stint u can meet ppl from all areas, Law, Films, CA, IT, Advertisement, etc etc.
- Locals r one of the best mode of travelling, I've ever tried.
- It's a great city to spend some day, or a week or two. But real struggles starts when u actually have to live there.
- People don't care much about others & r very open. Unlike Delhi or even Blr, I felt Mumbai much safer, and open.
- Oh, the chillars still works in Mumbai. Usually in my hometown.. People round off, 23 is 25, 21 is 20 or Smth, but in Mumbai 23 IS 23, 29 IS 29.
- The diverse network is ❤ Ppl who r non-mumbaikar, r usually so caring & protective towards each other.
- AC IS MUST.
