Runs day in and out
A maze of towers and shanties stand tall
Tracks and trails weaving in and out
This is Mumbai.
A rush everywhere, but nowhere to go
Seeing people everyday, never meeting any
Begging for some time but none to give
A flurry of hurried footsteps everywhere
This is Mumbai
Rains that fail to cease
Enchanted by rivers and creeks
Waits for none but pleases some
Makes it murkier, but hey
This is Mumbai
Fall in love with it
Embrace it for what it is
Fast.
Enchanting.
Crazed.
This is Mumbai.
I loved the craziness of the pace of life in mumbai during my stay.
ReplyDeleteliving in Mumbai made me realize why people fall in love with this city...
City of thousand dreams. aspirations. break neck speed.
It is!!!
DeleteAnd yes, living here is what makes you fall for it.
Tall buildings
ReplyDeletePeople unfazed
Nights illumine
the streets in their gaze
Miss it not,
Here life is...
This is Mumbai.
