    Stark reality of Mumbai

    I just came back from a week long trip to Dubai. When you are back from a developed country, you can see just how far behind we are. I am a Mumbaikar, born and spent 40+ of my life here. This wasn't my first trip to a developed country, but this time upon returning the differences just hit differently. Non-existent infrastructure, zero civic sense, zero traffic sense, trash and rubble everywhere, pollution so bad it burns your throat. The same people who would keep a wrapper or a tissue in the pocket in a developed country would throw a bottle out of a moving car in India. Main roads that have no lanes, construction and debris everywhere. During the 7 days I did not see a single truck on Dubai roads, they have separate roads and special timings. Mumbai is as chaotic as it gets. I am a lover of this city, but this financial capital of the country is becoming unlivable. Traffic in Dubai can get as bad as Mumbai, but at least no one will cut in front of you. Vehicles will stop at the signals, roads have very clear markings be it for cars of pedestrians. It's not that I haven't see it before, but now when you compare the state of infra with the ridiculous amount of taxes we pay, it's just seems like a ripoff!
