First Impressions Of Mumbai, India 🇮🇳 ( Ganesh Chaturthi 2023 )

[@sunnymoitra6124]

Hi Phil, request you to please visit kolkata during Durga Puja 18th oct-24 oct. Kolkata's durga Puja is as the same vibe as of Ganesh Puja in Mumbai. Also Kolkata's durga Puja is awarded intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO

[@rintuiam6503]

No don't come here during durga puja . With so many bullshit people around it won't be a pleasure.

[@aloksinghbaghel3478]

Don't go to Kolkata its dirty there people are cheap and crazy

[@Tir2002]

Never , people are crazy out here, too much crowd, dont come during durga puja , suggestion from a bengali😂

[@rintuiam6503]

Yes don't come ever

[@RajeshKumar-gd5gl]

What about jehadi

[@sanjaysanj6688]

Wish lord Ganesha bless u n ur family Bro ! 🙂

[@ishwardevi134]

Correct time to visit mumbai Ganesh chaturthi

[@gshen231]

Ganesha festival in mumbai in fact in whole of maharashtra is bombastic. I love its vibe. Attend it again on 28th sep. 14th day of lunar cycle when ganesha is submersed back into water which symbolizes sending him back to his mother. It will be one unique experience.

[@SK-che1]

Mumbai is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, you'll notice most of it will be under construction, just wait for 5 years, this city will be up there with the best, mega projects underway....

[@aravind1994]

In 10-15 years definitely

[@archanashukla5387]

Festivals one should experience in India. 1. Holi in Vrindavan. 2. Ganesh chaturthi in mumbai. 3. Navratri in Gujarat and at the same time same festival but different celebration in Kolkata known as Durga pooja. 4. Diwali in mumbai.

[@R.kandaswamy]

Why I love my Mumbai ? I took a Cab from Lower Parel to Worli. The fare was Rs.67. Since I was coming from Bangalore, I gave Rs.100 to the cab driver and started walking towards my office. The driver called me back. He gave me Rs.30 back. I started walking again. He called me back again and gave me 3 bucks back. This is why I love Mumbai. It was Holi Morning. I had to come to office. My cab fare was again 70 bucks. The driver did not have change. He went ahead and bought a Vada (a typical Mumbai snack) worth Rs.10 and returned me the balance. When I was walking away. The driver took his plate of Vada, offered me half of them. “Boss, ek lelo, Holi hai!” This is why I love Mumbai. It was my first night out on Marine Drive. The rainy days were about to start.I sat on the rocks with my friend. And suddenly it started raining. Ohh, I can’t even start to tell you how much people love the first rain here. It was 3 a.m. I saw a group of 3 girls, all dressed up in their short LBDs , probably coming back after party. They got out of their car. And started drenching and dancing in the rain. And no, not a single guy catcalled them. This is why I love Mumbai. Just on the opposite side of the road ,where the girls were dancing, there was an old traditional Muslim couple. They were completely wet . The rain poured like nothing I have ever seen. Yet they sat there enjoying the view of the sea, holding hands. They were in their 60s. This is why I love Mumbai. Every Time I took the local train, I realized there is always a place for another person. It always looked impossible from the outside to get in. But somehow “we” always used to fit in those small coaches. That is why I love Mumbai. Every time it rains here, I wonder if the city is coming to a stop. It literally is like the hell broke down. I saw platform being overflown by rainwater. Then when I reached my office, I saw everyone came to work. People somehow manage to live here, irrespective of anything. The best part is they do it with a smile. That is why I love Mumbai. There used to be a couple, just below my first apartment, on the street. They did not have a place to stay. They were homeless. I used to take the cab for my office from the front of their tent. I saw the old guy reading his news paper, sipping tea and I saw his wife combing hair of her one of the street dogs. I never saw them sad in their happy little home (tent?). The wife always wore a little lilly on her hair. That is why I love Mumbai. I was at Dadar Station . It was 9 in the morning. It is pointless to say that it is one of the busiest hour. I saw a couple smooching on the platform. They were probably saying goodbyes to each other. From what I figured out later the girl was moving to another city on a long distance train. And then I realized I am one of the very few people watching. Everyone else is busy about their own train. That is why I love Mumbai. The city is an infrastructural mess. The air is so polluted at times I could not see the top of my own building due to dust. The place is so over crowded that there is probably more space in a first world country’s prison than in Mumbai. Yet, I saw a Punjabi 26 year old guy,dressed in formal, singing his heart out while coming back from office on a bike. I saw a Jaguar stuck in the same traffic light. And they coexisted happily, side by side. That is what Mumbai is for you “naked, sheer raw acceptance of truth” I saw thousands of small homes. Homes of the size of washrooms of my place in Kolkata . Yet, I never saw a permanent sad face in any of those windows. People ran, people fought, people struggled for their dreams . “One does not live in Mumbai, One struggles in Mumbai”. Mumbai is still the city of dreams. Mumbai can give you respect, happiness, irrespective of your caste, creed, gender and economical status. As the tea stall owner just outside my office used to say.. “Ambani bhi petrolpump pe petrol deta tha.. To hum konsi maal hai?” One more thing , just shout Ganpati Bappa anywhere in Mumbai u will hear MORYA next minute That spirit is the greatness of Mumbai

I am always afraid of fireworks in the middle of the streets I have seen so many accidents it’s so dangerous…

[@archanashukla5387]

This festival is celebrated for 10days. Some people keep ganpati for 1and a half day. Some for 5 days Some for 7 n others for 10. Big ganpati usually goes on the 10th day. So on these days u will see the drums.

[@shubhamvlogsbychance5527]

Come to Pune 3 hours from Mumbai

[@toxoreed9334]

[@julius_miiro]

There is always a festival going on somehow somewhere in india😄✌️love it🎉

[@cleopatra7377]

Really cool 👍

[@sanketj8724]

Try to attend it on 28th Sept in Mumbai or Pune. There will be a big procession. You may not have experienced it earlier anywhere.

[@cater91]

Come to Pune on the last day of Ganesh festival if you’re around. Roam around the streets throughout the night. It’s very lively. Everyone is dancing to dhol tasha. Not sure if you’ll love it but would definitely be a different experience for you.

[@gauravbhagat1744]

As compared to pune Mumbai city's Ganesh visarjan ossom because I had live in puna city last 3 years but compair to Ganesh visarjan decoration pandal Mumbai city is ossom

[@R.kandaswamy]

@@gauravbhagat1744 Yes. In Pune Ganesh processions are not as organized as those in Mumbai. In Pune it is all noise and no class.

Do consider visiting Andhra Pradesh it offers a rich cultural tapestry, historical landmarks like the ancient city of Amaravati, serene beaches along its coastline, and delectable cuisine. The state's diverse attractions cater to various interests, making it a compelling destination for those seeking a blend of heritage, natural beauty, and culinary delights.
