Bombay one of the top 10 most expensive cities in the world

OK. So that makes sense, because Bombay has always been mad expensive, and has had polar economic extremes. The poor are really really poor, and the rich are filthy rich. Now there seems to be a middle class forming, which is kind of adapting to this change. But the real question is, why would you want to live in Bombay, when it costs about the same as say, Seoul or New York?

I grew up there, and I absolutely loved it – but given that I’ve seen other pastures – I don’t think I would want to go back.  The city is becoming a film obsessed traffic jungle, and I feel that intelligent conversations are getting rarer to come by. Also, and even though this is getting better, it’s still annoying to deal with corruption at every corner.

  1. I think you are absolutely right. Looking at other cities in other countries, I think its worthless living in Mumbai.
    I have seen doctors here too are becoming too commercial and has lost the ethical practice.
    What Mumbai or rather India was once upon a time, is no longer the same. Its the place where only rich class can enjoy.
    The gap between the richer and the poor is increasing day by day.
