Aamchi Mumbai


I am currently reading Suketu Mehta's "Maximum City". For a person from Mumbai, it is a floodgate of memories opening up. He hasn't missed out on anything...every single detail that is quintessentially Mumbai is in the book. He takes me back through all those years of growing up as a part of that vibrant city which becomes integral to you.Through the ugliness in the city and the beauty of its people, Mumbai is a city that pulsates in you.At least for me....wherever I might be....I could never change my innate identity as a Mumbaiite.
