This is a grimy city , full of greasy dust and smoky winds. The dust is everywhere , in the train, on the roads, in the food and if you look carefully you can see it floating around in the water , the water you are supposed to drink.
If you live here long enough , your face shrivels up and you resemble those incredibly old Japanese people they show on TV Nippon.
Mumbai is said to be the 'city of dreams' , but ironically one never gets the time to dream here , not on the dusty pillows and the dirty beds in the doleful suburbs , which we call home . Where we wearily trudge back every night and rest our dreary selves.

Whoa... Easy with the dark moods fella... Nahur is not the worst place in the world :) but still it comes pretty close... Why not dwell on things more positive about Mumbai than its dust?
Believe me the dust here in Kolkata is as bad, both literal and metaphorical. Bottomline, dust of any kind sucks and you've done a gr8 job of putting that point across.
