Mumbai , Pune and me !!

People say that there is no such thing as love at first sight , I disagree !! Of course there is love at first sight , because that's what happened to me when I first caught a glimpse of the wonderful city called Mumbai . 5 years of being used to the sleepy laid back rude Bangalore , it was a pleasant surprise to me to see a city which completely the opposite , the sheer energy of the city captivates you , the structures of the city which are like mammoths , huge wide roads , you can why it is called the 'city of dreams' or 'the maximum city' . Any person rich or poor , young or old will probably have one thing in their mind once they set their eyes on Mumbai , 'I want to be a part of it , share the vibrancy , intensity and the pulse of it' . It is indeed joyful to see it I'm sure it must be an experience to live out there . I think if you call Bangalore or Pune cosmopolitan then you must cast your eyes on this brilliant city called Mumbai . It belongs to every cast , creed culture of India and even outside . In spite of it's humongous population , the city is ever accomodating and must I start on the shopping !! phew , it's a pleasure to shop out there , rudeness out there is something like a punishable crime ! you hardly will come across rude people ! I guess it's only bangalore which houses swindlers , lazy people , the rudest population which think themselves to be extremely smart (that is a lethal combination mind you) . Honestly I didn't feel like leaving that colourful city !! next came Pune . Pune felt like home , familiar shops , familiar roads and oh so familiar ex neighbours and friends . With a few changes here and there, it's almost like Bangalore minus the rudeness and the stupidity . It tore my heart to leave it , every second I was thinking of the possibilities of coming back there , the place which truly is my home and is a part of me . Bangalore is nice but NOTHING compared to Pune , it's got a pleasant combination of the vibrancy and colour of Mumbai and the climate of Bangalore , what more can anyone want . I realized that along with the tremendous shopping I carried a part of Pune's spirit with me to Bangalore which will remain with me throughout and which I will cherish unconditionally !!
