Turn It On.
A great injustice has been corrected today.
For the last 500 odd years Bombay (now mumbai) has been one of the “world cities”. A city on the west coast of India. A city that would be on every mariners chart. A city that would become the gateway to India, first for the foreign rulers that ruled over the country. And then in later years for the throngs of NRI’s returning to India.
Bombay, the financial and economic capital of the country. The home of the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. Bombay, the city where the first railway ran. Bombay, the city that gave India, the Tatas, the Birlas, and even the Ambanis.
A city where everyone throngs to, to make their dreams come true.
Bombay a city that is home to the largest movie industry in the world, Bollywood. A city where filmstars mingle with the locals.
Ever wondered what New York and LA rolled into one would be ?? It would be Bombay. Cultural and economic powerhouse.
Then with so much going for it, why oh why was there no place for this great city on metblogs.
Well the prodding and pushing of the metblogs admin, by a few of us bombay bloggers, has made it possible for this “great injustice” to be corrected, and Bombay finds its rightful place in the pantheon of cities on metroblogging.
Stopping by here will give you a flavor of what makes Bombay thrive. Bhelpuri, Juhu Beach, Chawls, and so many other terms will become your local lingo when u frequent here.
So sit back and take a peek at everyday life here in this one of the greatest cities of the world.
