Mumbai city is the most cosmopolitan city and people have no time to fight like in Bangalore for trivial issues concerning the State Government. We can witness unity in diversity in the city. People from all walks of life enter the metropolis and they are free to celebrate their festivities with fun and fervour. After Bakri Eid people celebrated Onam and that shows how they mingle with each other in the maximum city. Even though the metropolis is densely populated people find time out for visiting friends and family as festivals coincide. We can see Kerala in Mumbai and the locals enjoy the festivities with all communities. They learn the launguages of other States and impart knowledge of local language to the people from Kerala. Thus we can witness a celebration on all counts and the South Indians enjoy Gudi Padwa as their own New Year day. Festive mood continues in a big way and we enjoy the festivities in the most belligerent mood.
