This is Mumbai

Runs day in and out

A maze of towers and shanties stand tall

Tracks and trails weaving in and out

Dusty highways and forlorn by-lanes

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.
