In this concrete jungle I search for my Mumbai
In this concrete jungle I search for that rainbow which was my Mumbai ;
Every time I am sad and depressed about the downfall of my city I make a plan on moving out; But how do I do this; I am Mumbai and Mumbai is me..
Where else will I feel at home?
Though my city has become a hole I continue to live here as leaving this home would mean leaving my entire life and memories behind .. I am addicted
In this concrete jungle I search for my Mumbai
.

MUMBAI .. the city that once was the pride of our nation is now just a shadow which waits for death as the darkness engulfs .. what have we done to the once beautiful and green city. It took just 25/30 years to destroy that which was looked upon as a dream city

Mumbai has become a nightmare. Having spent 54 out of my 62 years in this city I see and watch with despair the deterioration in every aspect of living..
too many people jammed in the kilometre.
Quality of air, water, food is at an ultimate low
Roads are a nightmare .. again too many cars.. too many two wheelers .. too many people jay walking
Footpaths taken over by the hawkers..roads encroached with parking cars or buses or tempos
Construction material lying around after completion of a job
No one, absolutely no one to safe guard the citizens rights; they who pay all taxes on time, and maintain every aspect of civic sense
The elected government just does not care.. the #BMC has been super negligent in their jobs
#shivsena who make several promises overlook and forget once elected in power
No parks left to have a quiet walk .. what happened?
My childhood was spent literally walking to school through green fields .. Drinking water directly from the municipal taps at school and in gardens was the done thing
TOO MUCH ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION.. too much migration of people looking for livelihoods.. development of illegal slums .. the list of destructions is endless ЁЯШа
Mumbai is the planets second most densely populated city with 31,700 people per square kilometre, as per UN habitat data
