I am sorry i beg to differ....resilient, tenacious, city with a heart, are the main descriptors for this city called Mumbai. (I hate the name...Bombay was any day better!) Agreed 26/7 and 7/11 proved that the city has still a lot of goodness left in it...agreed that people still dont flinch to help one another when there is a major crisis like the above mentioned....
what baffles me is that the city and its people never seem to learn from their mistakes...there was tremendous grief, sorrow and loss around these incidents...people vowed to make this city a better place to live in etc etc....
Like in most cases (cricket for instance) public memory is short lived...people have moved on with their lives...have forgotten the promises made by 'their politicians' and bureaucrats to duck them in the water if they experience flooding in their areas, have forgotten that the city was supposed to look at a separate governance structure for looking at issues of the city only, and the list is endless....
People seem to be just existing in this city not living....isnt that a sorry state of affairs...do all megapolis become like this??
For me this is a city that never wakes up!
