I recently went to Mumbai for the purpose of sending off my bro as he had secured his job in BARC there. The jouney to Mumbai through the Konkan (by train) region has been one of the most picturesque ones I've ever seen. The stations, the hilly terrain and the greenery accompanied by the frequent rains is a sight to behold. The whole journey takes 24 hrs and has got the largest number of tunnels en route. In fact, the largest one in the whole nation is in this route.
As for Mumbai, well I've been there once in the past but the metro always has its own share of surprises as the landscape is constantly changing with newer buildings, bigger malls and what not. I traveled over the new Bandra-Worli sea-link and my sense of pride was lifted to new heights, being the proud Indian that I'm. Moreover, the TAJ MAHAL hotel after the terror attack is quite another marvel. After all the drama that occurred here, it is astonishing to see that everything has returned to its normal self without any fuss. The capacity of the people there to put such unfortunate incidents behind themselves and move on with their life is astounding. It seems that no terror can hinder this aspect.
