MUMBAI is the rudest city in the world as per the survey conducted by the Reader’s Digest across 35 cities round the globe. What the hell…Mumbai and rude??? How do you define offensive, discourteous manners? Opening doors for guests, picking up papers, thanking and apologizing for every petty thing…Are these the sole parameters to measure the so called “polite” factor??
Yes, it is true that people here mind their own business. Poking nose in others affairs is considered an offence here, but this is often misinterpreted as being rude. With the insurmountable stress, you cannot expect people to be gracious consistently. Don’t you think the parameters on which a city is to be graded as rude or polite should be a bit mature?
The city is considered to be the safest city for women. This is because people here have
the right attitude towards women and appreciate her job responsibilities which requires her to stay outside even till late hours. People from nook and corners of our country carve a niche for themselves in this city which welcomes everyone with a big heart. If not for the city’s polite attitude, it would have been impossible for people from varied culture, traditions to live in harmony.
Every city has its own charm and Mumbai is no exceptions. The typical bambaiya dialect depicts our “take it easy” outlook towards life. Just because we don’t say “aap” while addressing people doesn’t mean we are rude.
How could we forget the recent “26th July” catastrophe? Without the timely help of the good Samaritans how could have Mumbai reeled out of this calamity?
C’mon guys, I don’t think Mumbai is rude…Do You???

the readers digest should be #$#@$@
mumbai was never rude jus becoz we don interfere much and prefer to be in sang-froid by being in our world doesnt mean we are rude.
i don think mumbai is rude.i would rather say the readers digest needs to search the dictionary for the meaning of the word rude
i cant vouch for mumbaikars..but i can definitely say, kerala has its share of "rude"ys who'd make any other state pale in comparison...and i'm a keralite too, mind you!!!
hmmm.. that's some strong support for the mumbaikars.. :)
i do agree with u. just becoz of some survey by a magazine which may not even cover 20% of the population of the city.a survey like this wont change our attitude towards our city tho. after all its we who make up this place. the support is not just for mumbaikars...its with every city. each city is portrayed in some way or the other. but at the end of the day its our duty to see if its in the right spirit or not and act accordingly. just bcoz people dont want to interfere in someone else's life cant mean that they are rude KUDOS for bringing up such a post
