Things I've learnt from Mumbai so far.

So I've shifted to Mumbai for college and I've been here and this is what I've learnt so far:

1. There is a storyteller in every coach of every local train with an extremely keen and curious audience.
2. Ain't no bonding like those ladies in the ladies coach have.
3. People here are extremely friendly, warm and welcoming and dont have even one bit of arrogance which makes people here the exact opposite from Delhi. Although Delhi is so much cleaner and greener.
4. Marine Drive provides you as much peace and serenity as a monastery.
5. Never climb a moving train else your legs shall be amputated.
6. There is a very visible demarcation between South Bombay and the suburbs which is basically equivalent to South Delhi and the rest of Delhi.
7. Eating out is SO CHEAP OMGGG.
8. CABS ARE SO CHEAP OMG.
9. This city has the best street food with the most fascinating names (RAGDA?! MISAL PAV?!)
10. For people here, travelling for an hour or two is considered "close distance" which never fails to surprise me.
11. Places here have the funniest/weirdest names. 'TITVALA' , 'Saki Naka', 'Seepz' etc.
12. You know youre in Mumbai when you get rejected by atleast 10 autowalahs/taxiwalahs in a day.
13. It is the most astonishing sight when it rains here.
14. There is so much struggling here yet people are SO HAPPY with their lives.
15. There is no place in the world like Mumbai at all.
