Mumbai

Mumbai is rich, Mumbai is poor.

Mumbai is fast, Mumbai is slower.

Little bit sweet, and little bit sour,

Sometimes it’s hot but not too more….

Mornings are energetic and evenings are electric.

Noons are lazy but Nights are crazy

And any one you ask he always say “M busy”

Dude, life in Mumbai is not so easy

There is lot of Masti with little bit of Maska

Welcome to the city that can’t live, without Bollywood Chaska

From cooker whistles to the traffic jam horns,

From steaming tea kettles to breaking nut-betels

From telephone rings and doorbell brings.

There are people connecting through Blackberry pings

Where there’s little time to spare for kids

People here spend their lives on bids

Here you actually pay your travel fare by meter

But milkman mixing water is not a cheater!

Sev puri and bhel puri are all Mumbai chaat

Relishing it with spicy chutney is no easy art

From pop-corn to ice-cream, all sold on cart

Mumbai o Mumbai, you’re always close to my heart

Where local trains usually run on time

And violently rushing for a seat is not a crime

Here 3 PM for lunch and 12 AM to dine

People face hardships, but still say “it’s fine”

From Mt Mary in Bandra to Mumba Devi in Town

And ISKCON in Juhu to Haji Ali in Mumbai’s Crown

Faith runs deep as the Arabian Sea

But people don’t hesitate to pay early darshan fee.

Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati and Bengali

Everyone forgather celebrate Id and Diwali

Holi is colourful and Christmas is cheerful

Spend some time here and your life will be un-forgetful

Billionaire to baggers, all found in this city

Be careful dude, this place is a bit witty.

Overall this dream-world is huge but pretty

Mumbai o Mumbai you’re wonderful city.
