It's been a month now. And I think what they say about Mumbai teaching you to be humble is so true. I've started respecting mundane things more. I've realized even if you can afford a luxury, you might not afford the time!!! So traveling by Uber seems like a good idea than getting a car and worrying about parking and driving in peak hours after a hectic day in office!! Traveling by train and saving hours seems like a better idea than being on the road at 10 pm waiting to be home and get a good rest.
Here, you can't differentiate much between people who live in big luxurious apartments and who live in smaller ones. As the talent they have matters here. The way they portray and speak fluently with such affection, that really amuses me. You just need to be focused and have a plan none the less. How you want to achieve the life you wish to live in a longer run. You need to follow it meticulously.
At first it does seem odd because you aren't used to struggling so much just to reach home and work place. But it's an experience. You start to value the roof over your head, food your mother cooks for you everyday, that half an hour nap means the world!! Getting time to watch your favorite TV show becomes luxury!
It took me a little time to get this fixated in my mind. I'm achieving it though. I try to catch a train in odd hours just to get a hang of it. I don't say no to street food because I'm Mumbai the best food ever you'll get on street side. Having said that, Mumbai is really the best place in India. Without a doubt. You learn about life so much which nobody can teach you and make you understand. This city will change the way you live life. Metaphorically and literally also.

Let's see how it goes.☺
