Mumbai:
Land Of High Spirits
‘Mumbai’ whenever we hear this name, what is the 1st
thing that comes to your mind? Please let me know through your comments below. For
me the first thing comes in is bollywood,local trains, oceanof many job opportunities
and a metropolitan city which never sleeps and stops its functioning even on a national
holiday. And yes it is true, and that’s the reason so many people of different cultures,backgrounds,languages,regions,religions,age
come here in the search of a job which they don’t get if they stay in their own
native place.
This city has place for everyone, every immigrant who comes
in this city for a job manages to get some place to live as well, maybe it is
not in good condition but still, it’s only that much they can afford.
Local trains is one of the unique qualities of Mumbai which
Britishers left as a boon for us, it is the easiest communication between the
Thane,Central,Western and Harbour line which connects millions of people in
this city from their home to their workplace. The communication has just made
the Mumbaikar’s life more easier and cost-effective.
Isn’t it amazing to know we love one amongst were the bollywood
stars live? Every Mumbaikar must have been asked this question ‘hey you live in
Mumbai na? Have you seen Mannat? You must have seen at least shah rukh khan on
his birthday when he comes to wave his hand at the roof on his birthday, or
Amitabh Bachchan? He also comes to wave’ but wait! Celebrities just don’t roam
around that we will be able to see them everytime. we visit Mumbai, ya i have
encountered many TV personalities after i came to Mumbai so for me it was a
cloud 9 moment to come in Mumbai! But if you had a celebrity encounter then please go ahead and show off by , ‘yes! I
have seen Shraddha Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn when they came for a
shooting in Kharghar/malad/andheri’ just kidding!
Slum area and the waste dumped in Mumbai rails is so huge
and vast which is the saddest part of this city, yet the slums act as the most
efficient place to recycle the tons of waste produced as an urban city , this
was something i remember when i read it in my economics textbook at some point
of my life, but they themselves are not hygienic which leads to spreading of
lots of diseases all over that area and even beyond.
Proper waste disposal and giving a better life to slums is
the need of the hour. I still remember my school visit to the Mahim Nature Park
where one side i saw such greenery and well maintained garden and just on the
opposite side it was a slum area where a drain was flowing and a lot of
plastics and other wastes were dumped there as if that area doesn’t belong to
the city as no one is concerned to solve the problem of proper waste disposal. Can
we and he government together take a step towards it? At least we can on our
personal level.
Apart from all of this i also realized that the TV and film industry
in Mumbai has created a lot of employment for the educated and the uneducated
for their manual skill work, and for the scholars there was and always will be so
many jobs waiting for them in different fields. People come here to earn,
leaving their families in their village to stay 11 months out of a year in
Mumbai to give a better life to their family so isn’t it the Mumbaikar’s
responsibility that we make this ‘city of dreams’ a little bit more better
place to live?
