Harsh Goenka’s Tribute To Mumbai Wins Internet

Mumbai City is known for Vada Pav, its local trains, the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, and much more. Praising the city’s liveliness, businessman Harsh Goenka shared a post on X. He started his post by mentioning Vada Pav.

After Vada Pav, he mentioned that the city’s local train carries a lot of stories. He praised the glamour of Bollywood too.

He wrote, “Happiness in Mumbai is.... the aroma of vada pav at a street-side stall, the buzz of local trains carrying stories of millions, and the serenity of Marine Drive as the waves kiss the shore. It's the glamour of a red-carpet Bollywood event, the vibrancy of Ganesh Chaturthi processions, and the taste of bhelpuri at Chowpatty. It's the sight of the city's skyline glowing under the monsoon clouds, the cheers of children playing cricket on the lush green of Azad Maidan, the hustle of dabbawalas weaving through chaotic streets, the aroma of freshly roasted peanuts sold by vendors outside CST station and the unyielding spirit that turns dreams into reality. It's the chaos and the calm, the small moments and the grand aspirations, that define the soul of this maximum city.”
