How many things have risen and fallen through the ages, leisurely, and the Ganges is rolling in!

Come! Come on!

Only drink the water of the Ganges, dry this bowl of Ganges water, and tonight you will be Indians!

Bombay.

On April 1, 1978, this day is April Fool's Day, also known as Ten Thousand Fools' Day, which is a holiday in some Western countries. On April 1, 1950, China established diplomatic relations with the Republic of India.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, Amirhui was far away from the motherland, and unconsciously passed another three years.

"Before I know it, it's been three years!" Amirhui, who had become more mature, steady, and handsome, stood in front of the glass window of the hotel and sighed softly.

A lot has happened in the past three years, and it is difficult to describe it. Occasionally, when Amir Hui is alone at night, he will also miss his old days in China.

But from the beginning, desperate to escape from India, Amirhui is now completely accustomed to life here, and even a little happy with it.

Mumbai has its own special speed and rhythm, if the Chinese life dance step is "fast four", here is "slow three".

In the rolling of time, the two rivals of China and India are swimming against the current at an astonishing speed, and the wind is flying; In Mumbai, India's economic capital, Amirhui lacks a sense of speed, and is permeated with a calm and soothing atmosphere.

On weekdays.

No matter how urgent the matter is at the airport, the waiter will say a bunch of polite and euphemistic and enthusiastic words to you, in fact, two or three words can solve the problem!

In the city, people are keen on nightlife, and companies and government agencies usually go to work at 10 a.m., and it's time for lunch before the office chairs are hot.

Locals are used to being unpunctual, and if the invitation says 7 p.m., you have to be ready to eat at 9 p.m.; If something tells you to do it in 10 minutes, it may take half an hour to finish!

Two years ago, Amir Hui had already sold his original house and moved. Relying on the manuscript fees earned by himself for three years. Bought a house with your family in the most luxurious area of downtown Mumbai!

Moving, from a hellish home, to an upscale mansion, it's like paradise. One day when I came back from buying snacks from a small store, I saw an ambulance parked downstairs, and when I asked, I knew that it was a neighbor next door who was suffering from a sudden illness; Twenty minutes later, Amirhui went downstairs to take out the garbage, and saw that the car was still parked there as gracefully as a lady. When asked again by the security guard, he seriously said that the patient had been carried into the car.

Although I don't know the original situation, compared to the ambulance that came and hurried away in China, it is completely two situations.

In the past three years, Mumbai has not changed much from 15 years ago, and I feel that the city is changing more slowly, far less than a dream in China for 10 years, and when I say goodbye, it will be like a world away.

Amirhui enjoys this life very much, not why. Because that's life!

Many Mumbaikars like to go to the Corniche to look out to sea, and when the sun goes west, there are always long stretches of peaceful men, women and children sitting on the embankment watching the sunset.

Amirhui also likes this kind of life, sitting leisurely on the shore and watching the sunset silently slide towards the sea, watching it take back the last golden light, feeling the beauty of the instant overlap between heaven and earth, and his heart is full of praise, feeling that life is like a sunset through the clouds, light and bright.

This is really a kind of survival beauty, and the rhythm here seems to be more in line with the physiological and psychological rhythms of human beings than the tense life of the domestic metropolis; Sometimes Bundy is just catharsis. Only by stepping on the slow dance steps can we appreciate the true meaning of the art of life.

You'll have to get to the rhythm of Mumbai to get in touch with the city, and you'll probably have to be a little more patient for that. After moving, Amir Hui's house was suddenly paralyzed by the power of the whole building. The property company informed that it would be repaired in a few days, but Amir Hui's family endured the life of no refrigerator and no hot water for bathing at home for half a month.

Almost every neighbor who met comforted him with such an accident that only happened once in 35 years, and the property owner often knocked on the door to announce that Amir Hui was in sight of victory, and these friendships drove away Amir Hui's troubles in the anxious waiting.

At one concert, the last piece was performed by the sound of water stirring in a basin, a local drum and a violin. Together, they played "Beautiful Mumbai".

The natural and beautiful melody is like a heavenly sound, every note is like a soft breeze to soothe your mood, and every phrase moistens your heart bit by bit!

At that time, Amirhui suddenly felt that the pulse of a city does not matter how fast or slow, as long as it is in tune with people's natural heartbeats and emotions. Walking through the slow dance steps of Mumbai, browsing the peaceful life of the people, may the colorful auspicious clouds of peace hang over the city forever.

Happiness does not have to be material abundance, respect will bring infinite tranquility and happiness to the life around you and yourself.

In two years.

Amir Hui no longer saw the ordinary gray crow that flew every morning, didn't drink water or croak, and just quietly stared at himself, which was his biggest regret!

However, life is like this, and there is never perfect perfection.

Three years has changed an Amirhui, cumin enjoys this life at the same time, but this does not mean that he has worn away his positive momentum

Taj Mahal Hotel!

This luxury hotel with multiple red vaulted towers is located on the edge of the Arabian Sea, opposite Mumbai's famous landmark, the Gateway of India.

The "India Gate", built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary of the United Kingdom, was completed in 1924. After India's independence from Britain in 1947, the last British garrison was withdrawn from this arch.

The 105-year-old Taj Mahal Hotel, which witnessed the withdrawal of British troops, was also a major attack by Indians in their struggle for self-determination.

The hotel faces inwards from the sea and is often accused of engineering mistakes. In fact, it was deliberately oriented inland, apparently to snub George V and appease the feelings of the nationalists.

It is said that the industrialist Jamsegi, a descendant of the Persian Zoroastrians. Tata, dissatisfied with being denied entry to the Apollo Hotel, angrily invested in the construction of the Taj Mahal Hotel. The Apollo Hotel, which strictly enforced the restriction of Europeans only in those years, later closed down.

Completed in 1903, the Taj Mahal Hotel quickly became the best hotel in Mumbai and has maintained this reputation to this day. It is also a symbol of the cosmopolitan charm in the minds of Mumbai citizens!

Celebrities who have stayed here include Queen Elizabeth II, former Egyptian President Nasser, John Lennon, a member of the British rock band The Beatles, and Jacqueline, the widow of US President John F. Kennedy.

Foreign cricket teams that come to Mumbai for international cricket tournaments usually stay at this hostel.

Its modern building was built in the 1970s, and Amir Hui is now standing on the top floor of the hotel.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in."

Amirhui was admiring and looking down at Mumbai outside the window, and at this moment he heard footsteps approaching, Amirhui turned around and looked at the comer. He smiled, "Please be seated." ”

The person who came was Asian-Entertainment, a program planner for Asia Entertainment Television, a thick-bearded Indian man who was also very fat.

Amir Hui thinks that he is very similar to the old man Bayi in the cartoon, even the color of the headscarf is similar, but he wears too little, and he does not have the sense of wealth of the old man Bayi.

He exchanged a few words of greeting with a red light on his face, and after sitting down, he got down to business directly: "Mr. Amirhui, your Antakshari and Zee Horror Show have all been agreed to be bought by our station director, but this price, isn't it a little too expensive." ”

Amirhui asked, "How much does he ask?" ”

"Two program planners, he asked for 40,000 rupees, and I can't talk about 45,000 rupees, not to mention that no one in Mumbai can give a higher price." ”

"It's so stingy, no wonder I can't do much to 'DDI' shoes, and it's too cheap for me to sell 100,000 yuan." Amirhui couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.) )
