We have often heard people saying that Mumbai never sleeps; that Mumbai is always moving! But what is it that keeps this magical city awake when every body else in the country dozes off? Isn’t it ironic that the city of dreams that turns the fairytales into tangible realities never sleeps for itself? Mumbaikars are super hard-working and high-spirited people. Their never-say-die attitude is what makes the city so alive and enthusiastic. No matter what time you enter the city, the electrifying energy that the city sparks out will amaze you in and out.

Mumbai is not only the entertainment hub but also qualifies as the financial capital of India. Day and night, people diligently work their tails off to strive through the competencies of the city. Though the city is said to be open for each and everyone, it is the survival of the fittest that works for Mumbai. Only the one, who dedicates his life to work, can manage to live his dreams. The strenuous pace of its daily life pushes you so much so that sometimes its even difficult to keep your personal relationships along.

The sinuous speed of life in this city often makes you loose your dearest relationships, then why is it that people are crazy about getting a chance to struggle in Mumbai? Perhaps the earnings of the city out-shadow its shortcomings; or perhaps the value of dreams is far bigger than anything in their lives! May be its because of the acceptance and warmth that the city greets its visitors with, that people die to be a part of the city’s sheen and glamour. Reasons may be many but motives are all the same; to fly up the augmenting height of the city of dreams!
