Mumbai's Spirit

Salute to Mumbai Spirit, the livliest city I have ever been to.
Mumbai stopped yesterday for two minutes to pay homage to all those who lost their life in the serial bomb-blasts that rocked the city a week back.(details)

Can't understand how can a city like Mumbai be declared rudest!!. Last year on 26th July, 944 mm of rainfall was recorded in the city in 24 hrs. Thousands of schoolchildren were stranded due to flooding and could not reach home for up to 18 hours. People left their cars on roads and took it on foot. It was in such a time that the real personality of a city can be judged. People generously came out to help stranded people, served vada-pao's and all to strangers stuck in their locality, helped people in every way they could. And then they say it is the rudest city. Is saying 'thank-you' and 'sorry' even when you don't mean it, the only criterion for measuring politeness??
