Question

Write an essay on my favourite city Mumbai.

Answer 1

Hint: While writing an essay on Mumbai you can include the points such as its geographical location, famous food, famous places, famous festivals, its political/ economic importance etc. Thereafter, you can elaborate on your own reasons, as to why you like the city.

Complete answer:
Mumbai is located in the state of Maharashtra. It is famously known as the capital of Maharashtra and the financial capital of India. Earlier it was known as Bombay. Its name is derived from the name of the goddess Mumba (a form of Parvati) who is the goddess of fishermen. It has wide localities of fishermen because it lies near the western coast which is a good source of fish. It borders the Arabian Sea. It is one of the most populous cities in the world and also a dream city for many people in India. The famous Reserve Bank of India, Gateway of India and Elephanta Caves are located here. The famous Dabbawala army also resides in Mumbai. The city contributes a big share of the national economy of India.

It’s my favourite city for various reasons. The countrywide famous Juhu beach and marine drive are very relaxing places to visit. People can visit these places for evening walks and during the monsoon season to enjoy themselves. The monsoon in the city is the best time to be here.

We also have film city which gives a sneak peek into the glamorous life of Bollywood. We can stroll around on the streets and enjoy pocket-friendly street food and buy branded clothes at lower rates in the markets around the city. It’s famous street foods like vada pav and pav bhaji are not only pocket friendly but utterly delicious as well.

The grand celebration of Ganesh Chathurthi and many other festivals is also a striking attraction of the city. It also has an active nightlife as the city remains awake $24\times7$. It is difficult to survive in Mumbai unless you work very hard to sustain yourself in a fast-moving city. Therefore, when people work hard they party harder after work. This is the reason why the city is awake $24\times7$.

The travel in the local trains of the city is altogether a very different experience. More than everything else the people make a place. The people of Mumbai are very helpful and accepting. They celebrate all festivities together irrespective of any differences. The people are honest and punctual.
