Indeed! If at all, I am ever asked this question, what fascinates me the most about this country, it would definitely be my city- Mumbai. I've been born and brought up in this city of dreams, where even acquaintances play an integral role in our lives. It is rightly said that wherever we may go, whatever destination we may appreciate, there is indeed no place like home. And for me, no other city, hill station, scenic place adds value more than Mumbai.
Truly, I have experienced this for myself. There are days when I attend late night occasions, festivities or events, and when we would through those narrow lanes, which my city boasts of, I assure you, you won't feel alone, because there will be at least one rickshaw-wala trying to overtake you, so he could reach his destination quickly.
In fact, recently, with the addition of international festivals to our culture, Mumbai celebrates Halloween, Black Friday apart from the much awaited festivals like Diwali, Navratri, Ganesh Chaturthi, Holi, Christmas, Eid, Urus when the roads are lit up with lights and fun throughout the night. During Diwali and Chaturthi, puja takes place during night. During Navratri, people dress in colorful attire, every night and indulge in a mesmerizing dance affair.
Mumbai is indeed lively, bright and colorful in almost every month and the roads are ever devoid of tranquil.

Mumbai is a diverse city with unexpected turns, because you may be at times, overwhelmed by the scenic beauty and design that it withholds, and at times, be completely distressed by the unfortunate events that may take place.
