The western mall culture..greed for land...fast changing geography of places...chucking the nostalgia for peace, for memories, for people....<br />that said, it could be any place. You can call it by any name.<br />The point is Arvind has shown a picture of changing times & values in the modern 'get rich fast' world in a holistic way & just shows a mirror to our transformation from the old world charms to a mechanical & materialistic life.<br />For all I know, it could be Chennai. But Mumbai is more convenient what with the bhailog and the likes. Moreover one cannot overlook the fact that it is the wealth capital of India with a heavy influx of people pouring in from everywhere.Lathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10391580973252067189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-16470029850587451212011-07-12T21:54:59.732+05:302011-07-12T21:54:59.732+05:30Well said!!!!! I think it's the hungry demons ...Well said!!!!! I think it's the hungry demons that gave Mumbai it's big bad world reputation! And certainly there's tons coming from all over the place, yes the ones who doesn't belong to its soil just like you do Shobha De. I always had great impression of Mumbai apart from seeing the guy in black&white bollywood film getting robbed the day he reach the crowded & fast phase city from his slow motion village! But then again it seem as its the matter of whether you make it your home, abuse it, or something else...... For folks like me who've never once been there, I must say bollywood had fairly fooled us. I realized that after meeting our Mumbaikar friends. Still, it's the city yet to see/feel from my own body, mind, & soul!!!! PS Ajanta cave I'm coming soon to take refuge in your womb!!! Yayyyy!
