Mumbai, previously known as Bombay, is a bustling metropolis and is the fourth most populous city in the world.
With the highest GDP in India, Mumbai is every Indian's urban dream. The culture of this metro city is a boisterous blend of cuisines,
languages, food, fine arts, cinema and festivals. The city-dwellers, often labeled as the 'Mumbaikars', lead a very fast-paced life and
spend a significant time of their lives commuting from one place to another. Apart from being one of the biggest metropolitan cities in
the country, Mumbai promises a high-adrenaline, foot-tapping, diverse city life to all inhabitants. Food and the festivals are the most
important facets of Mumbai's culture. Every Mumbaikar is passionate about the local street-fare and the lavish celebrations like
Ganesh Chathurthi, Diwali, Christmas and Eid. Since the metropolitan is observing modern trends, the caste, creed and color of people
take a backseat in this city, and the fun-loving mentality breaks all boundaries. Also known as the 'film city of India', the Bollywood
Industry is a thriving multi-million dollar industry whose origins lie in this city
The people of Mumbai are considered to be a chirpy, tireless lot who are streamlined for a fast paced life in the city. Colloquially known
as 'Mumbaikars' or 'Bombayites', the inhabitants of this city are often considered as hard-working, cultural, witty, modern people, who
are passionate about their lives and are very approachable. It is hard, or almost impossible to define a true Mumbaikar, because a true
Mumbaikar is one who is the perfect transfusion of North-meets-South, one who is passionate about cinema, one who loves food,
shopping and can be quite pompous about the typical life led in the city every day. Distances from one place to another never seem to
bother Bombayites, because it is very common to travel for hours in order to reach one place from another. Mumbaikars are very
particular about time and love to be punctual. A blend of different communities, religions and customs, the diversity of the city enables
the inhabitants to live life to the fullest and work extremely hard to make all ends meet. Although technologically and industrially
advanced, the people of Mumbai are deeply enrooted to their values, religion and principles.
We at Vissanji Academy tried to capture this very unique essence of the
Mumbaikars and hosted a two day event ,”Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan”. The
staff and students conducted a marathon research on the city and unfolded a
plethora of sagas that were hitherto not known to many. The ‘Vissanji Panorama’
was indeed a labour of love and passion.
