"दिल्ली-मुंबई एक्सप्रेसवे पर ट्रक चालकों का कब्जा है। बड़े हादसों की एक वजह यह भी है।
कार चालक का सवाल भी सही है कि नितिन गडकरी जी; फिर इतना पैसा खर्च क्यों करना, जब गाड़ी 60 की स्पीड में ही चलानी है।"
“Mumbai is Upgrading”
If you have travelled around Mumbai over the last 5 years, you’ve definitely seen this board somewhere.
It was a sign that either the road is dug up, or traffic has been diverted.
And it felt like ‘roz ka traffic hai’, ‘kitna saal construction chalega’, ‘dhul-mitti udti hai’, ‘daily ka kitkit’.
But in the background, at breathtaking speed, Mumbai was indeed upgrading.
I stay two mins from Akurli Metro station.
When the first pillars were put here, my family would joke that ‘mere bache travel karenge ye metro mein’.
Because that is the speed of construction we were used to in Mumbai.
Within 5 years, I was myself travelling in that metro. And it’s been 3 years since I’ve been taking that metro to office everyday.
But it’s not only the Metro.
Look around.
Big towers and projects are coming up everywhere - even in residential areas.
The Goregaon skyline looks different than it used to 5-7 years back. The Borivali skyline looks different. The Lower Parel skyline looks different.
South Mumbai looks different with the Coastal Road. The Haji Ali junction feels different. The promenade has given a new look to the city. The Atal Setu presents a new skyline of the city. Drone shots of Mumbai look vastly different than they did merely a few years ago.
The cement road upgrades in my area are better than previous shoddy road work. The local trains didn’t stop much in spite of extraordinary rains this year - signalling that people got things right in the backdrop. More AC trains are visible on local train networks - plans are in place to upgrade all old coaches with ones that have doors.
Of course, everything isn’t perfect. There is a lot to do - in sanitation, traffic, roadways. These things don’t change overnight - but the trajectory has been set in the right direction.
Multiple metro lines, a coastal road, a sea bridge, a new airport, local train upgrades - these are staggering changes in a span of 7-10 years.
You may not realize that if you live and move around this city on a daily basis. But ask someone who was here 15-20 years back, and they’ll tell you how different things are.
Mumbai is indeed upgrading.
And the energy to do more is infectious - Mumbai 3, the Vadhavan port, more airport terminals, multiple metro lines already in progress, underground tunnels connecting different parts.
There is no poverty of ambition.
And that is fitting for a city like Mumbai - it is the mayanagri after all.
I can’t talk about all this and not mention the architect of this transformation of Mumbai - @Dev_Fadnavis !
Yes, there is a team and lakhs of people who have contributed at various levels, but leadership matters.
To move files. To energize teams. To execute at scale and speed. To monitor and review.
Mumbai is going to look and feel radically different within the next 15 years. It is on its way to become a truly world class city.
And I am a proud Mumbaikar witnessing this transformation of Aamchi Mumbai first hand.

High beam is not needed in city where we travel below 60 kmph. Low beam typically reaches about 50 meters which is sufficient distance at city speeds.
High beam is only needed at high speeds on dark highways. Even then, Dip your lights when you see oncoming traffic so you don't blind them!
