Rude Awakening

For Mumbai

Mumbai is the only city that figures in this Readers Digest survey on politeness and guess where it landed? At the bottom.

Yes, Mumbai is the rudest of the 35 cities spread across that many countries. Another surprise in that list who the city that occupies the top slot, New York City. My experience in NYC wouldn't go along with this finding, but Mumbai has more to retrospect than NYC at this time... So Mumbai.. Buckle up and be courteous.
