Compare Mumbai with Hyderabad

Mumbai and the city of Pearls are poles apart, in their culture, in their lifestyle, in every aspect one can think of. But truly both the cities have their own charm and memories. The personal experience of staying in both the cities gives me immense joy in sharing my views and opinion about the two metropolitan.

1. Mumbai better known as the economic city, and Hyderabad for the famous Pearls and gems. The names are fit perfectly. Mumbai, city of dreams for many holds a lot of hopes and opportunities for the young minds, who Endeavor the impossible. Hyderabad, the city truly metropolitan in nature definitely has a lot of scope with its Hi-tech city, and the IT developments. But of course no one can beat Mumbai in this regards, as far as professional growth, and a competitive environment is concerned. So one point for the the economic city.

2. Talking about the infrastructure, definitely Hyderabad definitely scores a point. Even after staying for long in Mumbai I couldn’t understand why something could be done for the poor roads of such a popular city. Every year the cemented roads are made, government promising smooth drives this year, but once again the rain come and washes all the dreams. I guess the reason to be corruption in the roadways. Anyhow the point here is that Hyderabad is far better in the quality of its roads and highways.

3. Free home delivery; wow such an advantage in a metro where every second matters. Things have been made simpler in this city to a very little extent by the people, by giving this advantage of free home deliveries. You think of it and it would be delivered at the doorstep unlike in Hyderabad, even for your daily routine things one has to step out. Once you are used to that concept it becomes little frustrating at times to move out for small things.

4. Distances, a luxury in Hyderabad, and a burden in Mumbai. Everything is near by, you step out you can find a designer shop, the biggest mall of the, a movie hall, may be that’s one of the reasons we don’t have the concept of free home delivery in Hyderabad. Mumbai is maddening in terms of local traveling. Firstly the roads are always in a bad shape, secondly if you think for dinner out one has to have a margin of two hours just to reach the place, its irritating and you have no guarantee about the time, if you are stuck you are stuck for ever. Unlike in Hyderabad we do have jams, but since distances are not much its okay. And once you have lived in Mumbai everything seems a luxury. Your spouse comes home for lunches even.

5. Neighborhood, in Mumbai one can get a very multi-cultural truly cosmopolitan neighborhood, because of the large organized society kind of living, unlike in Hyderabad where the concept is less.

6. Weather is of course much better in Hyderabad. Very pleasant, unlike Mumbai where one job is to maintain your clothes, shoes and other things because of humidity.

7. The last not the least cost of living a very important factor for every city. Hyderabad is much cheaper in regards to housing, rentals, shopping everything. Mumbai is damn very expensive, one of the costliest cities of India
