City of dreamers and city of achievers

(Bandra-Worli Sealink, picture courtesy DNA newspaper)
It is a tale of two cities
Two cities that breathe different air, two cities that sleep at different hours
One city has dreamers, the other has achievers
The dreamers are happy because they live in imagination of a better tomorrow
The achievers are unhappy because they have stopped dreaming
A few years ago the achievers also came from the city that dreamt, only to lose their dreams forever
The city of dreamers believe in the city of achievers
But the city of achievers yearn to imagine like the city of dreamers
The only problem is that the city of dreamers get to sleep at night while the city of achievers don’t
Two cities crave for each other, hoping to become like the other
The mirage continues in the tale of two cities
Two cities that breathe different air, two cities that sleep at different hours
One is Mumbai, the other is Bhubaneswar
