I really liked this piece and hope to visit Mumbai someday 🙂

@Anuj: I love what you say —

“…as with any place, only when you get experience the true reality of that destination, can you even begin to understand it, and be changed by what it shows you.”

I agree completely! I love India but Mumbai really surprised me. It wasn’t at all what I thought it would be and I think that turned out to be a good thing!

This is the Mumbai not advertised in guide books and brochures but ironically is the real Mumbai. And as with any place, only when you get experience the true reality of that destination, can you even begin to understand it, and be changed by what it shows you.

Kudos!

@Gray: Thanks. There are times that India tests your personal meaning of “beauty”. Seeing it above the poverty or poverty-included is the challenge or so it feels…

@Papa: I’ll be okay, Papa! Love you.

I think I would be completely overwhelmed to be surrounded by such widespread poverty–and yet you’re right, there is beauty there too. I think you’re embarking on an incredible adventure here.
