A new life called Mumbai...!!

Okay now Mumbai is showing me it's different and very amusing colors  My day usually starts with a mind chart of all the things I have to do in a day apart from work. Me and my roommate, both living on our own for the very first time. Never knew how to take care of a "House". Anyways as they say this city teaches you everything, so it is doing so. Now, this incident took place at around 1 and a half month back. I was a infant to the whole public transport and women reservations of this city. Boarded a bus with as usual a very heavy bag. Struggling with the weight (both the bag's and mine ;-) ) As I went ahead, a lady saw me and told me to make a guy sitting on a ladies seat, vacate it. I was amused by the way these things work and nodded in disbelief. I told her that I was new in Mumbai and thus can't do it (in short I don't have the guts to do it!) She being a typical Mumbaikar, gave me a short speech on how I MUST do it to survive in Mumbai. Looking at the lady's suggestion and somewhat insistence I did ask the guy to vacate the seat. And the guy without any protest gave me the seat and made a face as if he has done something really horrible in life. The lady had to get off the bus so she went near the door and looked back with a smile welcomed me to Mumbai and told me to take care of myself in the new city. I felt like a winner with someone else's achievement, like I just won a million dollars on someone else's luck. I will never forget the incident and the lady... They taught me to live with full confidence. They taught me to survive.... They taught me Mumbai!!
