A friend of mine is in Mumbai now, on a job training. She gave me such valuable information that I have decided to share her first impressions of the city.
In her words, you have to see it yourself to believe it. The skyline and traffic of Mumbai reminds her of NYC, but with much more people on the streets. The extreme difference of luxury next to poverty is a sad reality of Mumbai.
Homless people living on the streets with whole families including small children. Their home, an old rag serving as a roof. Their food is being made on the sidewalk in the middle of the city.
Mumbai is a fast growing city with skyscrapers, becoming as expensive as NYC. Bandra is a booming area comparable to Manhattan, located by the Arabian Sea. Bandra is a place for business people and Bollywood actors. The food is excellent. People are very welcoming and eager to learn about a newcomer, their ambition and hard work makes you motivated to do even better.
Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the most populous city in India and the second in the world with population of 14 million. It is the richest city in India. It is also the commercial and entertainment center of India. The city is home to important financial institutions, stock exchange, headquarters of many corporations, film and television industry known as Bollywood. Mumbai's business opportunities and higher standard of living attract migrants from all over India.
