Mumbai: A Tapestry of Life
Kritika Kumari
The Maximum City where people range between extremes,
both poverty and affluence; brutally honest by all means.
A place where everyone gets lost yet everything is found,
you learn to embrace the music in her chaotic sound.
Crowded trains and millions of stressed minds,
It's only bearable as the people here choose to be kind.
From Dharavi to town, or just a walk along her gorgeous crown,
I promise, nothing better could inspire you
to set your sail where the dreams are bound.
Try to catch a break, enjoy the colorful skies,
for we all know, things here are different, after every sunrise.
A zone where life is fast, yet the traffic is horribly slow,
you'll find the waves nourishing your soul with every ebb and every flow.
The city that never fails to keep her spirits high,
Or as people call it here, 'Aamchi Mumbai'
