How Bombay became the buzzing, loving city it is today...
Bombay started out as just 7 small islands, quiet fishing villages surrounded by the sea. Then the Portuguese came, and later the British, who saw the city’s potential as a busy port. Slowly, people from all over India started coming here, bringing their dreams and making the city what it is today.
Take the dabbawalas, for example – these amazing lunchbox delivery guys have been running their system since the 1800s, delivering thousands of home-cooked meals every day with almost no mistakes. Or the locals cramming into the trains every morning, sharing stories, jokes, and hopes on their daily commute.
What people really love about Bombay is that it’s full of possibilities. It’s the city where strangers become friends on packed trains, where every street has a story of someone grinding hard to make it. The chaos here? It’s not just noise – it’s the city’s heartbeat, pushing you to dream big and keep going, no matter what.
Bombay welcomes everyone. Whether you came with a suitcase full of hopes or you were born on these streets, the city hugs you like family. The old forts, the Kaali Peelis weaving through traffic, the bustling neighborhoods, and the endless sea views – all of it mixes into one big, vibrant city that never stops moving.
That’s Bombay – not just a place on the map, but a feeling. A buzzing, loving city that’s always dreaming and never forgetting where it came from.
