When I first came to Mumbai, I was struck by the sheer pace at which the city moved. Then, when I started commuting, looking for work, there was another shocking revelation.


Commuting within the city was such a time consuming process! The over-crowded public transport system, the clogged roads put me off completely. People have to go through so much just to reach their place of work, I thought.

That is when I realised just how gritty Mumbaikars are. I'm proud to see that people always find a way around problems to get to their goals with a dogged determination.

I'm sure that if we had a global contest to test perseverance amidst life's daily challenges, Mumbaikars would win it hands down.u00a0u00a0
