I write this on my way home from my second business trip to Mumbai in the past year. When I visit a new country, I ask a lot of questions of those I meet about their daily lives, their opinions of their government, their perceived quality of the services they receive and their expectations for the future. I also read the local papers. At the end of this four-day trip I developed the following observations of similarities between our two cities. Montrealers often joke that we are on the path to becoming a third-world city. The reality is that we already share some remarkable traits with Mumbai.
