The very idea that one city is better than other is semblance in itself. A place alone can never be good, better, sad. It is the people that makes one place worth living. Now again, the definition of good people that make a good society or city is subjective. It is solely your preferences aligning with others that strikes the deal.
My parti pris about Dilli and a little soft corner for mumbai has always been there. I wished to shift to mumbai for sometime, and i always presumed that it is the city that attracts me. Off late, i started getting uncomfortable and sought reasons to be away from that place. This time, it got on my nerves and i decided never to go back. Fortunately or unfortunately, i happened to read an article on Mumbai, the writer was a delhite settled in Mumbai. I dont have the article but this is what i replied
Thank you for writing this post!
i stumbled upon this post & it triggered a sense of urgency to comment on this.
i went throughh the painful process of registering & all.. becoz i so want to outpour all my frustation somewhere!
I am delhite!
I love mumbai...its super amazing & safe! and I am counting days to go back.
Yes Delhi is not safe, auto walas are mean, people are mean..& moreover its a conservative city!
We are angrier breed of human! We like to get into fights! We have no patience!
But Just like the weather we live in extremes!
We dont carry frustation & we dont justify everything by saying we dont have time!
Mumabi is a busy city..but that's the way people have chosen it to be!
Now i know mumbai is costly & all..people got to earn the living..
Mind you economic trends are due to variety of factors..cost of living increases becoz demand increases!
Delhi is not indifferent & its not "Mind your business people", No matter how crowded the buses, metros are!
We never forget who the old, women,kids are!
The aap & haanji is included in our speech appropriately !!
We dont hesitate to help with the bags if you dont have place to sit/stand!
We dont stomp people!
You must really have a bias to talk about traffic!!!:) Churchgate to vikhroli 3 hours!!!!!
Not even ghaziabad to manesar takes this amount of time!
Yes we swear in hindi, so do you in marathi & english!
& oh the food, how i crave for non arahar ka daal!!!
Ironically I am a maharashtrian brought up in delhi..& i better die in peace rather than the hustle bustle of Mumbai!
I know I may be biased..just like this post is..but Delhi lives in my heart & beats with me!
I can easily bear the scorching heat for months..to live monsoons & the divine winters!!!
Somehow i can never be objective about this issue!
