M is me
M is Maa
M is Mumbai

One letter and my entire life. I myself never realized that a single letter can have such unfathomable impact in my existence. Well to start of M for me, I , me , myself , something I can never dream of living without, coz I need a companion that is myself. Me is a very significant word for me as I am an egotist. I am my best friend. The second M “Maa” my mom without whom my subsistence on this blue planet was not possible. Maa, my mom without whom I can’t even think. I can’t even be. I can’t even survive. Mom to me is a great strength, a strength that keeps me going in rough times, on bumpy roads of my life and when my heart sinks , she is the light I see at the end of the tunnel, the hand which pulls me out of mess. The goddess of love, of peace and of learning she’s everything to me. M for Mumbai. Aamchi Mumbai , Mumbai can be divided into mum that is mom, baa that is mom in Gujrati and aai (bai) that’s mom in marathi. The mother of a million Mumbaikars living in this city. “I am the city and this city is me” everyone here can proudly say that. Because everyone realizes that the city cannot be complete without them. From the road side paanwallah to the richest diamond merchant, from the taxi driver to the pilot. From Mantralay to Crawford market from the stock exchange to the chor bazaar. Everyone, every street, every corner, every nukkad is buzzing with some or the other activity. It is this tireless attitude of the city that I and every Mumbaikar is proud of. It is this undying spirit that the city has imbibed in me and given me. Hence I am incomplete without this bay BOMBAY.
