one life one dream one passion travelling, i have come so far because i dare to do where i am crazy about so here i am in the search of something new and exciting, come with me, believe the experience of this beautiful city Mumbai.I experienced, Mumbai is a stunning paradox of hope and chaos,magic and madness.where the changing modernity of India has been experienced most intensively. i went to Mumbai in August 2019 .it was a purpose of my maternal uncle corporate work.he was having his visa interview at German embassy and he asked me to come with him and i also never ever experienced Mumbai tour and great things never came from comfort zone, so i replied 'Yes!' and the journey starts here.... so the beauty of the nature and climate was amazing and i loved the architecture and the civil engineering of roads and tunnels.this was the real example of technology and upcoming era of modern civilization.Now after a three hours of long journey we are in Mumbai-the city of dreams. first,i went to the Germany embassy at Nariman point where my uncle allowed me the freedom to visit the city with my self and he went to his work.firstly,i wished to go the marine drive and have look of the marvelous view of the Arabian sea and a great view of the long seaside of marine drive. Marine drive also called the queen necklace in the heart of Mumbai brings back some fond memories and yess it was! and i really admired the sea waves and beauty of the charming sunset. so then i moved to the next destination of my visit which was the Mumbai proud place the gateway of India which is an iconic structure that is essentially a basalt arch,the gateway is Mumbai's most valued monument. As seen from the Taj Mahal Hotel besides it, a shot puts the scale and grandeur of the Gateway in a beautiful perspective with the milling crowd. "To travel is to evolve. " so where to next? so i moved to juhu beach where i can live in bliss.there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline ,no matter how many times it's sent away.i really admired the vast Arabian sea in front of me.but the thing i didn't like that much was the city waste on the beach plastics,in all forms straws,bottles,packaging,bags etc after seeing this really feel me bad. but i really loved the excellent food and marvelous dishes at the juhu chaupati,here are several options for food lovers.i really enjoyed the vada pav and the kala khatta gola, how delicious it was! this was evening i put my bag on my shoulder and moved the next destination which was Bandra West owes its hipe to trendy craft-beer bars and upscale global restaurants ,as well as stylish cafes that serve chia juice by day and creative cocktails at night. Additionally,many personalities who are active in Bollywood,cricket,and politics reside in the suburb. the most amazing thing was the thousands of glittering lights,the veil of nighttime that almost makes this place beautiful ,especially in the reflection of the water.it makes everything askew,disoriented. thank you Mumbai for making me feel so alive. It is never too late to turn on the light.i moved to the next destination which is full of spirituality the siddhivinayak temple and well known for its richness and associated to Lord shree ganesh. Here i find that prayer is the cure for a confused mind,a weary soul,and a broken heart.after meeting with the lord Ganesh all feelings of inadequacy and imperfection begin to fade. Now i m ready to have a thrill at a essel world which is the india's biggest amusement park.The rides at essel world seem outdated and,to be honest,quite kiddish.the real adventure i got here in my life. how amazing was this beautiful, dangerous and astonishing rides i really adore it!. So here its time back to home.The stories we love best do live in us forever.this is my travel story "once you lived in mumbai and made it your home,no other place is good enough" because It's big,it's loud,It's beautiful,It's delicious,and most of all,It's iconic.
