Mumbai - not just a city but an entire world in itself. The megacity is cursed and loved simultaneously by the people staying here and the city tolerates, supports all those who come to her.

People with myriad caste, class, community, region and socio-economic backgrounds live in this metropolis. Running with the speed of local trains, keep this bustling city awake for 24 hours.

Authors, poets, painters, all the artists are fascinated by its different colours and have painted various facets of Mumbai.

Mumbai is written about a lot. The labor movement, industrial empires, food culture, red light area, underworld, and whatnot.

This is an attempt to present to with some glimpses of these writings.....
