What is it, despite the madding rush, the grime, the dhakka into the 6.30 fast, the traffic jams and the monsoon floods that makes Mumbai the city almost no one wants to leave? Is it the sea drawing the eye to the horizon, the daily breezes washing away despair? The quirks and the scamsters, the freedom and the chains that bind? How do writers mine this never-sleeping city, ever generous with hope and opportunity?
