Mumbai Life

Mumbai

Mumbai as we all know is called as “City of Dreams”.  I have heard a lot about Mumbai but never Visited. Except me all my family members have visited Mumbai. Due to this I was more excited to vist and see Mumbai. When my marriage was fixed and I heard my fiancé is working in Mumbai, I was very happy coz I thought now atleast I can visit Mumbai. But my hope and dream were shattered when my Husband got an Opportunity in Infosys for Pune Location. But he asked the company his Preferred location as Bangalore so that I don’t have to change my work.

So after coming to Bangalore he was not liking Bangalore. You tell me who will love Bangalore if he stays 6 Years in Mumbai. So this Year during Diwali we both were having 1 week Holiday as my hubby was missing Mumbai. So we decided to go Mumbai during that Period.

To my surprise I reaaly loevd Mumabi. For Mumbai people says” It fulfills everyone.s dream and accepts everyone with open arms”. I had stayed in Mumbai only for 5 days but I loved the place. Few things that I noticed about this city want to share with you all:

1)      Place you stay: has to be as close to your office as possible. Coz if its not there we can  land up spending a lot of time commuting.

2)      Size of houses: we had stayed in Mumbai in his friend home. It was 1 BHK But it was too small. You cant have extra furniture

3)      House Rent: House rents are huge in Mumbai. The rent for 2 BHK what we pay in Bangalore in Mumbai we pay for 1 BHK.

4)      The city is divided vertically : Mumbai is divided into Western Mumbai, Central Mumbai and Eastern Mumbai.

5)      The city does not sleep : In Bangalore or Delhi I have found that staff in hotels,pubs,malls are closed by 11:00 A.M. and people enjoyed their stay in home. But in Mumbai people step out for shopping at 11:00 P.M. in the night

6)      Drinking/Eating places may not actually be very expensive Unlike a Bangalore and Delhi where mostly restaurants, which are quite expensive. In Mumbai food is reasonably priced

7)      Safety: As Comparison to Delhi , Mumbai is much safe for girls. I have found many womens and girls traveling alone in Locals at 12:00 midnight

Flower Show at LalBagh,Bangalore

Last Weekend we had a Long weekend. Saturday 15th, Rakhi, 14th Aug Sunday and 15th Aug Independence. Day. SThe first day of Weekend was very nice and special also for me because it was my first Festival with My Hubby. Sister,Jiju and bhai came to home then after tieing Rakhi to bro we went for Bannergheta National Park. Trip to this i will post Later.

So on Monday,15th August,2011 was the last day for the Long weekend for us. So I decided to go to Lal Bagh Flower Show. The Lalbagh Flower Show happens every year during Republic Day and Independece Day, and it runs for a couple of week.My Husabnd is new to Bangalore. He is not liking Bangalore at all. He is missing his Mumbai. So I decided something special for my husband.  So I  proposed him we should go to the flower show at Lalbagh. 

So came morning and we woke up at promptly at 7:00 AM. My hubby was more excited than me. He was having only one concen . His concern was will i help him to drive through Lalbagh Flower Sahow. As he is not aware of roads in Bangalore. The excitement of going somewhere was more than enough.Once we were there, we were treated to beautiful sights in all colours. 

I have Last visited Flower Show in 2009 with my jiju and di. Now I visited the Flower Show after 2 Years with my husband. There was rows & rows of lovely and colourful Flower. Though it was the last day of the Flower Show but we liked it a lot especially my husbanda
