IS MUMBAI THE "CITY OF DREAMS" ?


Mumbai is called the financial capital of india and why not the entire bollywood,cricket and all the who's who of india are settled in mumbai.But the recent terror attacks in mumbai has left people in every arena of life in doubt about their safety in mumbai.So will mumbai lose it's age old charm as "THE CITY OF DREAMS" ?

Well mumbai is sure to face the effects of such a massive terror attack at the heart of the city and so does the whole india.Some of the effects are already quite visible crystal clear.One of the major effect this terror attack will have on is the tourism sector.Every year crores of people used to visit mumbai.But this terror attack has really shocked the possibility of any tourist's coming to mumbai.And mumbai is not the only city which will be affected but the entire indian tourism will be affected.When a recent newspaper stated that the next attack would be on GOA which is the biggest tourist hub in india.

And think about the favourite sport of this country "cricket".All the major cricket touranments were scheduled to be played in mumbai such as CHAMPIONS LEAGUE,IPL,AND EVEN 2011 WORLD CUP FINAL.But this massacre has really put a question mark over the occurence of this tournaments in india.Many cricketers are worried that india might go the pakistan way where no international side has toured for the past couple of years.Well this is not good neither for india nor for the cricketing world.

Forget about cricket and tourism,the mumbaikars themselves are feared to live in mumbai.The proof for this is the empty malls,cinema halls etc.Well it will take long time for mumbai to regain it's old charm as "THE CITY OF DREAMS".
