The vigor and energy of the Mumbaikar is legendary. From morning to night they keep on moving around non-stop. Their resilience and toughness are not once-in-a-while as during the Mumbai Floods or the Taj Mahal Hotel Crisis. It is a day-to-day battle that they all fight everyday shoulder to shoulder for their livelihood.
This city, which is arguably India's Financial Capital does not have the poshness or richness that go with wealth. It is squalid and but for high value areas, everywhere else is a mix of old buildings and slums. Bengaluru possibly gives a more consistently affluent picture.
It rained during the day for a short while. But, if the monsoon fails this year too, Mumbai is in for water shortage.
I am now in my Wife's cousin's house in Chembur. In the evening I went for a walk to the nearby Srigeri Saradambal Temple.
