Mumbai and Me

Dreams many a times take me from a world of bitterness to a world that I always wished to be in. I have spent many of my wonderful childhood days in Mumbai. Mumbai, the city that brings a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye, no matter where I hear it or wht I am doing. Since, most of my childhood was spent there, I got so attached to Mumbai that when I was in college, I had no dooubts that I would land there. Alas, things that you want the most never come to you easily unless you are LUCKY! Well, I ended up in Blore with a job and a new life. A new city to explore. I spent 5 years and I do not regret any single moment spent there. However, I still wish, I still believe I should be in Mumbai. The city has so much life, every minute counts, every second is important, else you juat miss the Train. The train could be just a medium of transport putting you from Wadala to Andheri, or it could be a train of the innumerable opportunities that the city has, or a train to the life of those crazy people who do not believe in sleeping at night, or just a train to the benches at the serne and calm sea , the Nariman Point. Name it and you find it is what the city is about. Right from the best slum areas to the best bungalows is Mumabi. Right from a 10 Buck Vada Pav to a 500 Buck Falafal is Mumbai. I just can go on and on about my dream city. It isn't an impossible task to be in Mumbai. But at times, you are just so crippled because of your circumstances or even more apt would be due to opportunities that were not grabbed at the right time. Neverthless, Mumbai is calling and I will soon be there and live the dreams that I have seen. There is no pleasure than just living your dremas!!! A small cozy flat, a job that I look forward to each day, a nice terrace, is what my independence is about. Not too many friends, jus a subtle life is what I am about. Mumbai is the place where I see all this and I hope I live it soon...!!! :)
