Why Mumbai?

Because it is here , where I said THIS IS IT!!!



Almost thirty years of my life and I have never been to Goa, never started my day drinking beer. Never sat on a beach and just see the waves come and go. Or visited Sreecafe where cats come and sit next to you and the only talking you do is with yourself.

So whats stopping you?

These quotes; leave your job, travel. One day of adventure than thousand day of comfort, are all good to hear but what happens when you have to live them

You will live those days, look at your tattoo, it says 'This to shall pass' , dont wear a tattoo , live it as well. So what are you thinking about Mumbai?

It is a nice place, i love walking around in south mumbai, the regal cinema, the fountain, kitab khana, burma-burma, leopod, cafe mondegar and the sea- looks quite calm, but it is not.

What happens when you are in love- you wanted to hear those three words. And when you are not in love- you hear THIS IS IT.

My friend Ms. A says I have been in a bad marriage ( with my work)  and its me who has to decide, so with a lump in my throat I said This is it!!

Falling in love is not always a happily ever after story,and when the person you are trying to love is yourself- who is messed up- so confused- so irrational . You think , well will it be worth? But the fact is most love stories have been between to imperfect people in a perfect city.

So Mumbai- cheers to the break up and to the new not known beginnings.

Why Mumbai?

Life is strange and we all know it , but we just dont know how strange it can get. So what do you answer when somebody asks you Why Mumbai? 

On any sunny day I would have been in a defensive mode and answered well, but on a day like this I answered, well I dont know most of the Why's in my life. I wish I knew. And then on a normal tuesday without a bottle of wine I chose to reply I have come here to fall in love.

Love?  Its like those people who go to Netherlands to find a spiritual teacher and not to Himalayas.

I smiled , well I think when you are not thirty but almost thirty and you dont believe in love love ... but more in falling love with yourself all over again. Its like that relationship when your ex returns and you dont want to have him but also not let him go.

Oh , so I am sure your work might be keeping you busy,your work sounds exciting?

Yeah it sounds exciting. Lot of excitement, its kept me busy , really busy, so busy that 7 years passed

Are you being sarcastic?

No, great-full.

So what exciting are you doing in this city?

I got myself on Tinder, 

Are you serious 'Tinder'?

Well that was the most easily accessible app, but the excitement died soon, most of them were part of a common army known as MODI army

Listen I dont give a damn about China , Korea or how he does as a PM?

Yeah well, I have also stop asking this question.

So Why Mumbai?

aaaa.......
aaa,,,,,,,,,,
hmmmm.......

I will get back soon to answer this
