Mumbai
A city which never sleeps, a city where millions of dreams come true & a city with tons of opportunities.
I was lucky enough to get an internship in Mumbai in one of very reputed law firms. I belong to a lil smaller city where the atmosphere is totally different. Not only Mumbai is comparatively very fast but also it is the land full of opportunities. All u need to have is passion for your dreams and ability to work hard. This city has taught me many important lessons for my life.

Somebody very rightly told me "Mumbai is not a city for middle class" the statement seems very vague but for the matter of fact, it is cent percent true. Either you are extremely rich and live a lavish life with all the amenities that a person would dream of, or you are one of those 90% of people who struggles everyday to earn their bread and butter. Even though person a earning a handsome amount does not mean he is living a lavish life in this city. Everyday waking up early, traveling in train, working your ass off struggling and then again travel in same crowded train and reach home(not necessary your own). A city where owning a house is a luxury. It is said that millions of people come to Mumbai everyday seeking a better life and brighter future and they are never disappointed.
"empty pocket and hungry stomach teaches a million things in life"
while living in this city i experience neither of the above mentioned thing but saw thousands of people experiencing the same.
The most important lesson this city taught me is, You are the Creator of your own destiny, You have to decide how you want your life to be. millions of people living in this city lives a monotonous life, in fact not only this city everywhere after a certain period of time a human life becomes monotonous and interest in your work and eventually life starts fading away, its you who has to decide how u see your life whether you wanna be one of those million people who get up, go to work, struggle and come home tired, angry and disinterested or you wanna live a life which u have chosen to live, where you love the surroundings, love your work and you are ever smiling.
It taught me that no matter what work you do, if you do it consistently with all your efforts and all your heart success is truly yours.
This city also taught me not to be afraid of dreaming high, it has taught me to work my ass off to achieve my dreams and also taught me how to behave normal in the office when you were stoned/drunk the previous night. I am in love with the speed of this city everything moving & progressing as fast as possible.
And Above all Beauty and the sound of the ocean takes away all your negative energy and leaves you with the an empty(peaceful) mind with a sweet smile on your face. The Queen’s necklace(Marine Drive) is the most beautiful place to relax, to give yourself time to think from your busy day, to see the amazing sunset & the never ending Arabian sea. It had been my routine to keep watching the Arabian sea after the office hours. it gave me a different kind of energy, a different kind of satisfaction and most importantly peace.
