Wonderful Mumbai

Mumbai is the wonder city of India .There is no doubt in it. There are so many things to see in Mumbai which you can never see in any other city of India and even in the other cities of world. The world’s largest slum is also located in Mumbai. The universal phenomenon of India i.e. corruption also tops in Mumbai. Now they are preparing to install a huge Shivaji statue in the Sea. Of course he deserves it. He was the last of Hindu Kings who taught bitter lesson to British who got into India by grace of Mughals. Talking of Mumbai it is the only city where roads are used as Parking lot. Every one visiting the city must also see the waman tukaram Patil marg which takes off the eastern expressway of Deonar circle. This road houses the Dukes soft drink factory in addition to many ancillary Industries and a gas filling station and auto repair shops etc. It also contains huge housing complexes on it in addition to a Picture hall, a school and a college. What is so unique about this street? 90% of it is used as parking lot for Dukes trucks, Bulldozers and other heavy machinery on one side. On the other side parking lot for all cars, mini trucks and autos making double and triple line for gas filling. There is even a xerox shop right in the middle of foot path in this section. The ubiquitous street vendors can be found vending their wares. There is hardly any walking space for the pedestrian because the foot paths are all blocked. This cannot happen without the full consent of the corporators of the area and police department. My idea of ooparki kamai must be around 40 crores per year. Do visit this wonderful and unique street of Mumbai if you are here any time.
