The Mumbai of my childhood!!!



Mumbai of my childhood was a dreamland  Chaupati at every weekend we planned

The dance of the monkeys and bear
Girl walking on the tight rope without fear

We would love to eat Bhel puri and relish
The sugar candy and the view at Pali Hill

The City smelt of ocean and the mills
With dreamy eyed people the bus spills

We loved the Maska pav from Irani Chai
A treat to watch the big jars with the pie

The Marine drive was never to shun
Best double decker busses were fun

Watch Rajesh Khanna's car at the signal
Fans kissing his car, girls would giggle

The chawls, banglows of stars reckoning
The mad rush of people around swarming

Hippie trend, bell bottoms was at its peak
In drugs and music solace they would seek

A City that has seen all, a never die attitude
It never sleeps is of a great magnitude

A city full of my childhood memories
Of cherished moments and reveries
