Sure, I'll include the names of roads/neighbourhoods from now on. 
Sanerider, the city of Bombay has it's good and bad parts, like any other place on the planet, well except for Geneva, Lucerne, Aspen, Monaco, and a couple of other super fancy places.
If your friends happened to visit the crappy parts of the city, surely, there mustn't have been anything decent to speak of. Development aside, for me, this city is more about its people. They're diverse, raised in a secular environment, culturally aware, mostly tolerant, open, non-elitist (for the most part), chilled out, and most importantly, hard working. 
Thanks, Nick. Appreciate it.
