From Bangalore to Mumbai

Well, As I have started on a new journey in this great city of Mumbai, so lets talk about some small cultural or habitual diffrences I felt along the stay.

Quite used to conversing in English - from Auto vala to Sabji vala, it comes as a distressing change when you say something in English, the other side replies in Hindi, then English, then Hindi, and then you realise that it is Mumbai and not Bangalore.

With Autovalas, well I must admit the situation is better off in Mumbai. They value each penny and are honest enough. Contrary to BAngalore where Rs.14 is minimum and for even a Km., auto valas agree for no less than Rs.25 - 30, Mumbai is a welcoming change. :)

Accidents/ Collisions/ Traffic... Again I would admit Mumbai is quite diffrent. Contrary to Bangalore where a jam and you see people taking their hands out of the window and pointing at you/driver, and saying some Farsi which you try to comprehend hard and the following facial and sound effects, I must say I miss that in Mumbai.

For the rest, I miss my staple food Idli... and paranthas - though I love them have become a difficult part of my breakfast menu.

Well, much more to say... with time....
