50 influential people.
I agree with Arvind Bhide, we should collect names in the city who have contributed to its well-being. However, my list would start from the bottom, not from the top. Those who keep this city clean in spite of low pay and health hazards that involves, those who run the city - the bus conductors and drivers, taxi drivers, motormen of train services in spite of monsoon fury and devastating deluge ( remember 26 July,2005 ?), policemen who are at the mercy of politicians and musclemen, traffic police who manage to bring some order in our chaotic traffic of hand-carts, bullock carts, cycles, auto-rikshas, taxi drivers, drunken brats. These people who keep this city in a relatively good condition. I wish all those who have been mentioned in the newspapers as influential people follow the example of these real heros, Mumbai would have been better place to live.
