Mumbai is a city famous for its fast-paced lifestyle and many aspects make it stand out in the country. Recently, businessman Harsh Goenka shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) mentioning the everyday moments that beautifully capture the city’s spirit. He began by mentioning the most famous street food of the city: vada pav. It is more than just a snack, it is an emotion for Mumbaikars.
“Happiness in Mumbai is…. the aroma of vada pav at a street-side stall, the buzz of local trains carrying stories of millions, and the serenity of Marine Drive as the waves kiss the shore,” Goenka wrote on X.
In his post, he talked about different sides of the city – “glamour of a red-carpet Bollywood event, the vibrancy of Ganesh Chaturthi processions, and the taste of bhelpuri at Chowpatty.”
Goenka also mentioned familiar scenes like children playing cricket at Azad Maidan, dabbawalas rushing through the streets and vendors selling roasted peanuts outside the CST station.
“It’s the sight of the city’s skyline glowing under the monsoon clouds, the cheers of children playing cricket on the lush green of Azad Maidan, the hustle of dabbawalas weaving through chaotic streets, the aroma of freshly roasted peanuts sold by vendors outside CST station and the unyielding spirit that turns dreams into reality,” he wrote.
“It’s the chaos and the calm, the small moments and the grand aspirations, that define the soul of this maximum city,” Goenka concluded.
