Mumbai : Where the roads are Red

Hey Guys.... So Here comes another one from me.. I hope u did not find my first blog to be too boring.. So here  I come with another one.
Being a Delhite,The first impression  that I would come across through by reading this title are the images of 
the guns and barrels roaring through the streets of Mumbai with blood being split everywhere, After all that are the first images of Mumbai.. After all Whenever we talk of Mumbai we just remember the 26/11 or the 7/7 or potato tomato potato... But Hold on your horses guys,this is not about Blood .. Well here is an experience of mine which would explain why here the roads are red....
Once I was walking across the road and looking for a mode of conveyance and suddenly I heard a sound of a rotor and saw the very friendly Auto Rickshaw coming towards me..I signalled him to stop and so did he...
But as soon as he stopped I Saw a Lava of red substance coming out of his mouth.. At first the emotion was of sympathy after all its difficult to live when u suffer from blood disease but soon My very active nose caught the stench of something which I have always smelled  at some or the other place for the last 20 years. and which has so far been succesful in sending me in a state of dizzyness and Nausea....
People,Welcome to the city of tobacco,,Mumbai...
After coming to Mumbai any  Delhite or say any Non-Mumbaikar would agree that the air smell like tobaaco..The people spitting out their red saliva always seem to be in a  mood of playing Holi.. No matter u are in suburbs of Andheri or the upscale of World u would one or the other person talking with his full mouth making Chinese easier to understand and then beautify the road with his splash of red water... I agree that This industry serves 1/4 of our national GDP but still here the roads are red,, the malls are red and even the lakeshores also seem to be red....
Hence wheneva by any chance someone frm my native town or nearby plans to come to Mumbai

CAUTION : You might be spitted upon by a jet red splash of a thicky substance which might cause u vomiting, Nausea or in some cases, Even Death.....
