DAY 200 (Mumbai..meri jaan!!)

Wandering on those polluted streets again...perspiring like a pig. Horns honking like an Indian marriage band all around me. People staring and posing at celebrities buildings/homes. And then a relieving cool breeze brush my cheeks whenever I reach the sea-side. If I ignore the couples smooching, the dirty water or the unnecessary crowd and noise, the view is a bliss! I sit there; watch the sunset; get into my poetic senses but realise I should go now probably. I reach the most used and always crowded place then...the local-train station where people irrespective of the caste, creed, colour, state, religion, occupation or sex pushing each other to get into the impatient train which can start any moment after it halts. Those who succeed run for seats but most of them prefer to hang on the door to beat the heat with the warm air gushes. Hawkers selling the local stuff, students reading their course books, families eating the vada-paav and the gang of guys discussing their next musical piece for rehearsal. It all passes all those stations everyday after every 3-minute interval.

People say that this all sounds good only if you are a tourist. Some say Mumbai is the city of Dreams and it is the destination of everyone. Some take it just as a commercial hub. People have as many opinions as are the colours to the city.

But for me...Mumbai is much beyond that. Mumbai teaches me to connect to people. It teaches me to live your heart-out without considering your pocket. It shows me how to tie the whole big city in just a Queen's necklace.

No matter how many times I have been there, it always is new for me. I live a whole new life there and re-live many unforgettable memories. It makes me spiritual, modern, outgoing, conservative, loud and quiet all at the same time.

Adoring is just a very tiny word for it...!! Its a place worth living for once in your life.

DAY 321 (Bring the change!)

 If you are a mother and if you keep cribbing about societal issues and the way kids have been brought up in our generation, keep reading. Well, every generation have their own issues and we all progress in a way or another. But even after generations of changes there is one common issue which is discussed in all forums (professional and personal/ formal and informal/ planned and unplanned) is patriarchy.  I am not one of those feminist who advocate for the world to turn into a matriarch to take revenge on the oppression generations of women have been facing. I honestly vote for equality. And I think most of us do. However, what do we actually do to bring that change?  Apart from discussing and being profound at the takeaways, I don’t think there is any progressive step that we actually take. I do feel that to take the step it does not have to be groundbreaking. Everything starts at home and so this solution starts at home too.  Most of the time, we start discussing ...

DAY 91 (Yukkkk..!!!)

Another GODFATHER for guys is out now....and yes I am talking about LSD (Love Sex and Dhoka) ! Standing ovation for Miss Ekta Kapoor who chose to leap from the head to toe covered Saas and bahus to directly all nude perverts...!!  I have seen guys being so curious for this movie probably because its been a long time after DEV D for them to watch something "meaningful" like this. I find you tube links of the promos and the special songs of the movie in their social networking site's status and they are just so proud of that. I am ...and I am sure every girl is amazed with the criteria of their meaningfulness! Either everything yukkkyyyy is just their type or they have not been keen to explore any other thing in the world than this! I am sick and tired of the caller tunes which I get to hear now whenever I call up any one of them and then I just do not want to talk any further after that. I believe learning Biology compulsorily till class 10th atleast has given only t...

DAY 105 (When life is awesome...!!)

As I was about to join a job...people told me..that you are gonna lose all your independence and happiness now....cutting off the social network by default...and then you'll realize...what a mess it is and what golden days those 10 "doing-nothing" months were! I used to just shrug it off...because I do not like to predict like everyone else. And now...most of them have got the answers. I have never been happier than this. I do all I missed to do ever...all I loved to do ever...with my grey cells working in parallel as well which is like a perk! Playing table tennis,an urge to learn guitar or atleast try to do so was like few of the things I could never carry on with...due to zillions of factors. But where there is a will...there is a way! I got all I desired packed up in the most beautiful and satisfactory environment ever. What else could I ask for? I have met like some of the most interesting and loveliest people ever (I know...that in professional life...everyon...
