A city of love,
A city of dreams,
Life here at times,
Isn’t as easy as it seems.
There’s beauty of colors,
And lights.
Also the ugliness of arguments,
And fights.
It’s a city that makes,
Out of luck your life,
But if not so,
Then fate makes you strive.
‘Chat pata’, lip smacking,
The crisp of street foods,
‘Bak bak’, ear buzzing,
The gossips of the sellers’ moody moods.
It’s got the bliss of quick vehicle service,
What we always need,
But beware! You could be driven to
Roads that miss lead.
Won’t get into,
A spat on politics.
We’ve anyways got,
Enough of those story picks.
Well this is just
A bit,
This is a juice of sarcasm,
Could you digest it?
If it scares you,
It might be a good thing to try.
If you risk nothing,
You risk even more; not a lie.
Welcome to Mumbai!!
