EnterTheVoid Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Took this in Hyderabad the other day. Nice place but nothing like Mumbai
Desi Cartman Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Mumbai looks cleaner and better than Delhi :((
Gambit Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Mumbai looks cleaner and better than Delhi :(( No. Absolutely not. South Mumbai(from Nariman Point to Worli/Parel) is very nice but outside of that its a dump. Delhi is much nicer - roads are much better, people atleast obey traffic signals, 90% of the city doesn't resemble a slum and you get value for money when it comes to accommodation.
punjabi_khota Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Delhi is 34 times as green as Mumbai. Mumbai bros, come at me.

Really ? We had a function planned during my last trip to India in Sanik Farms and I live in Saket. It took me 2 hrs to get there (maybe 1.5 kms). Just because few mofos had decided to not stop at the red light and then no one was ready to reverse (plus there was no space for it). Then some smart ass people decided to come via the right hand lanes so the traffic was blocked on all 4 sides (all 8 lanes) and there was no way for anyone to move anywhere. One of the scooter wala was trying to move past me but there was no space so he folded my rear-view mirror and I was like "WTF .. why did u touch my car .. u cant go when there is no space. Just wait and let the people at the front go first" .. he replied " Tum desh sudhar karlo .. mujhay ghar jana hai" .. so basically I got pwned :(( Also waiting in 2.5 right lanes out of 3 (if not all 3) on a right turn makes me lol
Gambit Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 ^ My statement was based on experiences arising from living in both cities, not some one-off incident.
Yoda-esque Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 This is quickly going to snowball into a Delhi Vs Mumbai slugfest. Fact : Every city has its pros and cons Dilli-wallahs will swear by Delhi and Mumbaikars cannot leave Mumbai.. I haven't been to Delhi but I am sure it is clean (in most places) and green and probably has better infrastructure. But there could be other factors like eve teasing or others that might be a problem there. And sure, Mumbai has slums,but not 90% as somebody claimed. The way I see it is that Mumbai is more inward looking , meaning that people don't see "not" having large houses as deterrents to their social status. Its more about whether they live close to a railway station so that they can catch that elusive 7:08 fast local to work or whether there is good & timely domestic help around the area.If it means living in a not so posh area, so be it. Its just a different scale used to measure your living standard , thats all.
EnterTheVoid Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 I stayed in South Mumbai primarily for the old Gothic/Victorian type architecture. Regarding it being cleaner/better than Delhi, I don't know. I got some more pictures of South Mumbai that I want to upload. I will head to Delhi later in the year.
punjabi_khota Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 ^ Dude, you aren't on a Columbus type journey to undiscovered lands. There are plenty of people on this board who have spent enough time in both cities to know the differences
EnterTheVoid Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 ^^ You're right, I am not. I am just going to these places to visit some family and friends. They are scattered all over India, you see :yay:
ganeshran Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Bangalore is the greenest city in India :nice:
Desi Cartman Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 ^ My statement was based on experiences arising from living in both cities, not some one-off incident. :(( That was just one example. Delhi's traffic itself is quite chaotic so it means Mumbai's is even worse .. which is quite unbelievable
NareshK Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Took this in Hyderabad the other day. Nice place but nothing like Mumbai Only parts of Mumbai are good. Everything else is a dump. Just my opinion.
akshayxyz Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Bangalore is the greenest city in India :nice: ainwein hee.. metropolitan city bola hota toh fir bhi theek tha.. shimla, mussorrie, dehradun, ooty, kurukshetra ...100s more , are they not cities of India?
akshayxyz Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Between Mumbai and Delhi - Delhi is definitely cleaner.. But Mumbai is much safer and livelier place.

rahuliverpool Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Having stayed in Delhi for 17 years and Bombay/Pune for 3, I would say that Delhi is much cleaner that Mumbai, no doubt. Barring the South Bombay stretch, clean is not a word I'll associate with Bombay. Plus, there's a lot more space in Delhi, wider roads and stuff. The Delhi-Gurgaon border toll plaza has 32 lanes! Bombay on the other hand, is too fast for me. Log chill toh maarte hi nahi hai yaar wahan, the traffic with local trains and stuff, I love going to that city for a vacation but I doubt I'll be able to stay there. Dilli ki baat hi kuch aur hai yaar, you can spend your own entire life there peacefully if you know the name of one big shot :hehe: And I know the Mumbaikars will vehemently disagree to this, but nothing beats Delhi food! There you go, pounce on me mumbaiwallas :nervous: kthnxbye!
