Mumbai......the Gate way of India



Really Mumbai is the gate Way of India.......no qualms... But this gate way to this sacrosanct land of the Hindus could have been used in a better way. This now serves as the gateway to bring drugs, smuggled jewelry....Bombs and what not!!!!!! Last but not the least they are the gate way that attracts the neighbors to step in. This situation has to be taken seriously and proper steps taken the right time would make it a gate way of sophistry and wealth.
My trip to the tip of the Indian Island was filled with a sense of insecurity!!!
I made two trips to this place in my first two weeks in Mumbai. First it was on a balmy Saturday when the sun turned wild on Bombay! After much of discouragement by people around me, I took a bus to Matunga instead of a train. Matunga was cool, I never though that this part of the world would be as great as it looked
! Posh apartments, wide concrete roads and lush green trees amid the heavy flowing traffic are matunga the madras of Bombay. (Both the city's names are changed and I get an opportunity to put it together! Hare Rama!!)...will write more...breaking for lunch .

These are the people who make the MANGALA VADHYAM team at the shanmuganatha temple(i call it so..) in Matunga. The man with white shirt plays good Gumikis and the nadaswaram guy has a good breath!!
