Last winter
vacation my parents decided to visit my cousins
at Mumbai. I was happy to go to Mumbai as it was
a good break and it would be a nice holiday as
well. I would also be meeting my cousin sister
Nisha. We reached Mumbai by train on 20th
December 2013 and were received by my uncle. I
had visited several cities across India. Every
place that I visited had a beauty of its own;
but the city of Mumbai really touched my heart.
The first day I rested as I was tired after the
journey. The next day my uncle took us to the
Juhu Beach, which was quite crowded with people,
children and vendors. I was quite surprised to
see the sun set at around 7:30 pm. It was still
bright till then. While returning I noticed
people who seemed to be always on the move. In
the mornings I noticed people scurrying to
office. Life always seemed busy in Mumbai. What
struck me next was the 'dabba walas' who are
famous for delivering food to offices across the
city. It is an amazing system. I was also quite
surprised at the crowded trains of the Suburban
Railway System that is the city's lifeline. The
life style and the culture of the city really
amazed me. The decor of the city, its markets,
malls all bore the mark of progress and
development.
The city of Mumbai will always remain in my
memories. The crowded market places, the
transport system, the life style and culture
will have a lasting impression on my mind. It is
a city that made a difference and touched my
heart.
