When it comes to my favorite city, it cannot be anything else other than Mumbai . There is no thinking required nor are there any two thoughts about it. Mumbai wins hands-on in my mind when it comes to being my favorite city. Yeah yeah … you have all heard about the horrors of Mumbai Locals, the rains and the incessant flooding and of course the Blasts have made the city famous time and again. Yes, it is a notorious city that way but the reason these things happen is because Mumbai is unequivocally THE most important city in the country.
