This is Prabhadevi stn bridge at 9.30 am. Was stuck on it for almost 20 mins and mind you, it has only started drizzling. There were 2 cops who stood in a corner whistling and honestly, that was of no help. We've learnt nothing from the 2017 Elphinstone stampede.

The "spirit of Mumbai" phrase is from an era when bomb blasts were routine, and 2005 floods happened.
The bounce back mentality wasn't about tolerating apathy but more about helping others during disasters. Providing shelter and food to strangers, backing the first responders and more. And collectively saying FU to terrorism. That no matter what, we will bounce back with resilience and courage.
Those days are gone. And now after 20 years, people misconstrue the core meaning of it. And use it as an insult to any little or big adchan they face in daily lives.
Gen Z will never understand what is Spirit of Mumbai. Inpe ek baalti paani fek do, inka trauma shuru.
This is 6.52 am train from Badlapur, and it had only reached Vitthalwadi when this was recorded. Not sharing this bcz it's rare case, but bcz it's become a daily occurrence. We risk our lives and board these trains daily only to be stuffed inside like cattle @Central_Railway
Krishna Mohini's graceful dance lit up Churchgate-Bhayandar AC local. Her performance left passengers in awe, not just with her moves, but with her msg too: "I don't want to beg. I want to work hard and earn with dignity." 🙌#Mumbai#Mumbailocal#churchgate#bhayandar#localtrain
Perfect snuggle-in-blanket, sip-hot-chai weather in Mumbai☺️
But here I am, romanticising the rain at my Nariman Point office🥲

We have a Foreign Secretary and armed forces that give us timely accurate briefings with facts, restraint and evidence. It could not be more impressive and civilised. Please stop listening to, and sharing, people screaming their lungs off on TV and ’twitter experts’.
Another day, another surprise☺️
This time, authorities have decided to halt Badlapur trains back at the spot where they used to earlier, starting from the CSMT end of Platform 1A. And this was announced after 8 pm yesterday when half of the daily commuters were already home.✌🏻
