23rd July, 2014 - 26th July, 2014
It was not the first time that I visited Mumbai. Rather it must be my sixth or seventh trip to this place. But this time I felt like writing about it. This time it was different- I went there almost after 5 years and it was all leisure trip (no work). Visiting Mumbai was like revisiting my life, like reliving the old memories, the old moments. When I was about to land in this place I just thought about what Pune and Mumbai (Maharashtra) gave me and it was countless- my college degree, my job, my first love, my best friend, my thinking, my identity and ME.
I went to same places again to cherish my memories- Versova and Juhu beach, Prithvi theatre, exploring restaurants and cafes at Yaari Road. So what has changed in these 5 years- well basically nothing, I suppose! (except the new cafes in place of the old ones).
What I miss here is the Mumbai rains, the weather, the open cafes and pubs, the beaches, the overnight running dhabbas and the autos. There was no chik-chik of bargaining and fixing fares for autos. Just tell them the place and they will put their meter down.
Here sharing some of the happy moments which I had there:
