Now I'm pretty new at blogging, but I wanted to write something.
So here comes my first official blog..
Its something that I wrote about the city where I live, Mumbai:
The city that never sleeps (and also the city that won't let you sleep)
Its a buzzing place for everyone.The economic capital of India has lots to offer for one and all..It boasts of a very strong connectivity network..the railways are considered to be the backbone of the city,its one place where you will find people giving extreme importance to numbers like 8:38, 9:27,etc.
Numbers which wont make sense to you,unless you use these trains and go through the 'dhag dhag' of getting into one of them.
A place where A,B,C,D have different meanings all together
A-->Andheri
B-->Bandra
C-->Colaba
D-->Dombivili
These buses and trains will help u in reaching your destination at the right time .
In the mean while, if you get those hunger pants,then you will find lots of places to eat and dine.From vada pav to Pizzas, from Lassis and sherbets to Cold Coffees and iced teas,from finger licking pav bhaaji to exotic Italian cuisine.
A booming city with a lot of shopping malls,places to chill out, the Baristas and the CCDs.
If u need some excitement in your life, then you'll find it all here,

If you are a beach loving creature, then Juhu Chowpathy, Bandra Bandstands are the places for you..
Especially in the monsoons...when the waves come splashing at you...
