Mind swirling deep inside me,
Thoughts unraveling the mysteries within,
And vision emerging from the pinnacle of ideas,
I move alone into the silent street
The soothing music from the distant pub fills
The surroundings with moody blues
Against the arc-light of the street lamp,
The rain dances to it's rhythm
The mellow hour recalls me my childhood days
The cold breeze from the seashore
Brings me a sense of belonging
Like a mirage , the asphalt roads appear like the streams
Flowing in it's seamless flow
The storm water reflects the shadowy city
landscapes giving an illusion
The neon signs open their eyes with catchy lines
Yet far off from the reality
The movie posters greet me against
The backdrop of the old buildings
Symbolizing the vast gap between the past and the present
As time changes , the city slowly changes her own charms
The Victorian carriage run empty seats
And the vintage car become an antic
Yet with changes , there is always a new life and new lifestyles
The city of Mumbai never sleeps
For the citizen of her always give her a new face and new life
