.....

A lot has already been said and written about her.

Her beauty is all encompassing. She is a little dirty but we can let it pass.

She is amazingly kind towards poor. But, she herself is very rich. People may call her a brat.

She has loved, accepted and shown her motherly affection towards many. But at times, she has been brutally hurt by many.

She deals with a lot of problems everyday but with a smile on her face. She never complains.

She loves rains. But she is warm from inside.

She has many friends from all strata of society; yet she craves for more attention.

She is very powerful. But she believes in ahimsa.

Sometimes, she likes to be pretentious. But she is true to her roots.

She is very high maintenance, but she is not picky.

She has a lot of dazzling colors on her body. Yet she is humble.

She feeds you if you are hungry but makes you work hard..real hard.

She can be cruel but she chooses to be sympathetic towards one and all.

She is wise like an old lady but is as gullible as a kid! People misuse her because of her innocence, but she forgives and forgets. Taking revenge is not what she endorses.

She has loved me, embraced me but has never asked for anything in return.

She is secular in the truest sense of the word. But anyone who sees her claims his rights over her.

She makes you fall in love with her over and over. 

She is my city, the city of Bombay (oops Mumbai!)
