“It’s never too late to revisit a DREAM, realize previously abandoned GOAL, or take a leap of faith toward something you have LONG DESIRED. You have got a lot of life to left to live. So go out and start making it AMAZING” – Stephanie Cooper
It’s true; I always dream of travelling and exploring new places, trying different types of food, experiencing things that I have never done before. But the true story is different; actually I have not done anything yet to pursue my passion.
At age 25, after completing 4 years of my corporate job finally I realized and accepted something big is missing in my life. I have a good job which pays me well, comfortable routine, supporting family and friends but at the back of my mind I know, this is not how I always wanted to live or spend my life.
I have been living in Mumbai for 4 years. Mumbai is the one of the most attracted tourist places of India. Tourists around the world spend their money and come to India, especially to visit Mumbai “City of Dreams”.
There are more than 100 places to see in Mumbai. Surprisingly, On counting how many places that I have visited then it’s hardly 5 or 6 places.
I have to start from somewhere, so I have decided to start with our own place, Mumbai. This is something I am doing to come out of my comfort zone and for the wisely utilization of my weekends.
I have listed down the top 50 places mostly visited by tourists. I have decided to visit, explore and write a post about each of these places.
It is my Mission Mumbai 50 and a small start. I will keep posting about my progress on my blog.
Here is the list of 50 Places that I am going to visit in a next few days.

That sounds so familiar 🙂 Yes, that’s really good to explore our own city first. I started with the same thinking and I am kind of liking it. There’s so much to see around.

Great list, just wandering around we happened upon 20. Jehangir Art Gallery. Meeting artists at their exhibitions and eating at the Samovar was one of our special experiences in the short time we had in Mumbai.
