Mumbai

August 1, 2007

I don’t agree with some of the things Suketu Mehta says in this piece about living in Mumbai, and the tone of this sentence irritated me for some reason:

Disease and genius, crime and religion, poverty and wealth, are all maximized there, and, given the cheap availability of air fares, are coming soon to a theater near you.

But there’s a short answer to the question of why people still live here. We wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
