Mumbai is not just the City of Dreams and hopes; Mumbai is another way of life. While people carry their culture to every place they go, there is a lot that Mumbai transforms in its locales. “Once a Mumbaikar, always a Mumbaikar.”
You know you are a Mumbaikar if:
Bollywood is in your blood
You identify addresses by Big B, Shah Rukh and Salman’s homes. You go to Marine drive to get that one filmy shot. You’ve heard about every film all set for release. Oh yes! Bollywood is boiling in your blood.

Sachin Tendulkar is your God, Wankhede your temple
In a city with a population of over ten millions, there is just one God and one temple. Sachin Tendulkar and his home ground Wakhede, that inspires every little kid in the gullies of the city to aspire to be a cricketer like the Little Master!
Vada Pav is your happy meal
Mc Donald’s and KFC, Burger King or any other snack joint is a complete failure before the staple meal of the city, Vada Pav. Sweet, spicy, quick, filling, a Vada Pav is all you need to satisfy your taste buds and your hunger cravings.

Marine Drive is your dream spot; Beaches are your sunset points.
You don’t need hotels or scenic locations. You’re probably flooded with a zillion pictures in different shades and angles of the Marine Drive and you’d still go for more. While the Girgaum and Juhu chowpatty are your happy sunset spot.
Traffic is forever your reason to get late
Signals, potholes, people, rains, drains, there could be a million reasons to cut short to just one for being in a hurry everywhere, but always being late-TRAFFIC. It’s old school and we know it, but when we blame traffic, we aren’t faking!
Jugaad is your way of life
In Mumbai, everything is possible and nothing is impossible. From a pauper to a piper, everyone has their own chances with luck, fate and hard work. And then of course, there is the most important way- Jugaad! No tension, only solution to all problems and crisis.
Multiculturism is your way of life
You have a Gujarati neighbor who speaks fluent Marathi, a North India chaiwala who makes poha for breakfast, a Marathi uncle who offers you Idli Sambhar.Too many regions, too many religions, too many cultures which together dissolve together to form the culture of Mumbai.
