Mumbai meri jaan..........

I was born n bought up in Mumbai.A city I proudly call my home..........
Mumbai-the city that neva sleeps.Mumbai is known for its undying spirit,especially,at times of crisis n calamities..
Mumbai-is a lifestyle in itself........People of all castes,trades,religions n languages reside here together as one.
There might be differences in their thinking,traditions,rituals,but their hearts beat as one.

Mumbai is not only the name of the city.Mumbai is the collective name of its people,their feelings,the way of living........Mumbai is a spirit,an undying ever-strong living.

However,life in Mumbai is not very easy.Its like some prison.........once entered you are trapped here for lifetime.Trapped-out of love.There are thousands of people who migrate here every month,every week,every day,every hour,to make a living,chase their dreams,or to simply live!!
N Mumbai-with its open arms welcomes all.N once they come,they never leave.........simply cuz they dont want to.Simply,cuz its addictive!Simply,cuz no matter where you go later,you are sure to miss Mumbai.Cuz its not juz a city,its a civilization!

The spirit of Mumbai has been saluted by many.N it deserves it rightfully.No matter how big the calamity be,Mumbai or rather,the people of Mumbai have always stood strong,fought as one,helped each other stand n recovered!
Maybe this quality of Mumbai has attracted more threats from inhuman organisations.Mumbai has been victim to maximum number of terrorist attacks.But as always it has looked the terrorism into face,stood strong,and smiled back with confidence......

Maybe its this quality of Mumbai that has led the authorities to go so careless.But it is we,the common people who have to suffer.It is us who loose their loved ones.It is our heart that bleeds.Just because we are strong and retract back to life,it doesn't mean that we are not affected.We are human in the very bone and flesh.We do get hurt.We do bleed.We do cry.Its just that we have learnt over time to wipe our n other's tears so that we can see the clear picture n fight back.

Just because we recover the fastest,it doesn't mean you can hurt us,slap us anytime you want.
Mumbai is our city,our soul,in a way,our motherland.We are not going to sit and watch the terrorists rape our mother.Every single attack on Mumbai or elsewhere in the country is a slap on the face of the authorities.Its high time you wake up.

As,to the people of Mumbai,
Salaam Mumbai!!
