Ask a foreigner who came a decade back and how differently he sees Mumbai. The tall buildings, the plush offices, the jarring traffic, the bridges all this is new to the eyes of a person visiting Mumbai after a long time. His home town has changed its attire.
If you just catch a bus from Bandra and keep your eyes outside through the window you will see wonderfully constructed office buildings, clean and super clean roads which we are not used to, well dressed and modern people. This is not what Mumbai used to be a decade back. Even though it has been a business hub for many outsiders it never saw the yearning from its citizens to improve the town. This is unusual. But there are also places where there are water and electricity problems. Let us not deny it.
The Railways have changed the look of the inside of a train. Ask any train commuter, he will know it and will give you a brief description as to what has changed. The taxis and cabs are not longer yellow and black. There are three different taxi types to meet all types of customers. The cool cab made its way into our city and we seldom realized it. Let us not forget the hospitals, tall towers, that has changed the face of the city.
All in all, there are improvements but they are needed. It is an urgent call.
