Mumbai people tweet their fond memories of the city to reveal their age:
When we spend our childhood in one place, there are certain developments that we get from there. When we are grown up we miss the old-world charm. People who grew up in Mumbai witnessed the transformation of the city over the years. However, there are some things of the old Bombay that they still cherish.
Hence, a Twitter user asked them to share how long they have been living in Bombay without telling the actual numbers, so people went down memory lane.
How old are you in Bombay years without telling us your age?
