I have now been 5 months in Mumbai- still getting used to the city. It's vibrant and full of cheerful, active people, sometimes to a fault. The weather here perfectly fits the tropical experience we have been cautioned against since childhood. And the people/culture are exactly descriptive of us Indians.
That the city still manages to surprise you when you first come is a weakness of the self. Of refusing to accept that what was told of Mumbai - starkly evident as if out of Rushdie's Book as soon as you step foot in the city.
