Mumbai Not Like That!

Mumbai i.e. Bombay has no bombs and is a harbor not a bay
Churchgate has neither a church nor a gate. It is a railway station
There is no darkness in Andheri
Lalbaag is neither red nor a garden
Neither king ever stayed at Kings Circle, nor did Queen Victoria stay at Victoria Terminus, nor is there any princess at Princess Street
Lower Parel is at the same level as Parel
There are no marines or sailors at Marine Lines
The Mahalaxmi temple is at Haji Ali not at Mahalaxmi
There are no pigs traded at Dukar bazaar
Teen bati is a junction of 3 roads, not three lamps
Trams used to terminate at Kings circle not Dadar Tram Terminus (Dadar T.T.)
Breach Candy is not a sweetmeat market, but there is a Hospital
Safed Pool has the dirtiest and blackest water
You cannot buy coal at Kolsa street
There are no Iron smiths at Lohar chawl
There are no pot makers at Kumbhar wada
Lokhandwala complex is not an Iron and steel market
Null bazaar does not sell taps
You will not find ladyfingers at Bheendi Bazaar
Kalachowki does not have a black Police station
Hanging Gardens are not suspended
Mirchi Gully does not sell chillies
Figs do not grow in Anjir Wadi, Sitafals do not grow in Sitafal Wadi, Jackfruits do not grow at Fanaswadi
But it is true that you may get fleeced at Chor Bazaar!!!
