So….
Finally Its 1:17 past midnight, and despite the usual tension of going office in early morning I have sat here to write something, or to be more precise to waste your five minutes, if anyhow you can bear with the whole thing till the end.
Don’t really know where to start. Just completed one terrific year in probably the world’s most busiest and vibrant city called Mumbai, which initially I hated, but now in love with. Some things are most peculiar about it. Like all the busy people, who don’t have even proper time to eat, sit, talk (when you are not doing all this, I don’t know where you are busy…anyways). And the locals, who are always on time…whatever, and all such countless things. but then why I love this city….good question!!!
It is because the way it treats you, irrespective of anything. Local always welcome you. Even if you had a bad day in office…stock market has crashed…something bad happened to a friend…whatever….You are always welcomed in the same way as you were on any other day. Totally unknown hi-hello friends of local are always there woth there usual smiles. It doesn’t change like people, who are just victory followers. Same with marine drive, always as romantic sun set as ever; regardless of the whole world. Do I sound crazy!! may be; but these are the things which makes it a great city and something you can love.
One more idea I got to discuss which happened last night. In late night when returning from office, I was on andheri bridge. A beggar was asking for money to the people walking forth to me. Then he spared me and again started to the people behind me. OH, Shocked!!! do I look so unemotional that even a beggar don’t feel worth asking!! Why he spared me out of six people walking. Over-reacting!! This is the only word to describe it, but such things touches my heart very deeply. I wasted a whole day analyzing the same as a early signal of the bigger problem, still got nothing out of it.
So that’s it for today. Catch ya soon.
