Bombay Diaries - II





I proudly work for the company that confidently hires deaf & dumb people who are equally capable as any ordinary man. I interact with them evryday & it feels good to be a part of 'more human' world.

They come-they go! They take away thousands with them, they bring back lakhs on them. They are as important as peoples' jobs, wives, children & the Gods. Mumbai Locals are lives of Mumbaikars & the Mumbai itself. Still not all the commuters enjoy the ride. Their reasons vary from the predictability of life, uncontrolable croud, sweaty underarms, baseless arguments to whatever. For me, journey of a local while returning from office is among the best part of my routine life. The breeze while standing on door is always so true & soul refreshing. The speed & acceleration of the train is always the one we all aspire for, it simply brings adrenaline rush. I feel so complete while my journey back home in a local, that I won't mind calling it the 'Joy of Life'.

There's nothing better than facing sea & getting sweetly slapped on face by the cool breeze. There's nothing better than sipping a hot frothy exotic coffee after kiddishly enjoying the rain thats pouring down since 3 days, waiting for you to get drenched in it. What better than playing in rain water, jumping, hopping in it, splashing it. There's nothing better than unlocking your thoughts. There's nothing better than silently appreciating the fairer sex who are terrificly beautified by unstoppable Mumbai rains & the western world's cosmetic manufacturing giants. There's nothing better than having a butter dripping pav bhaji at Juhu Beach.
Other goodies include.....

Destinationless Auto Ride!
Mocha @ Juhu!
Giant Exotic Coffee mug nicotising whole body!
Rare chance of being all alone in whole compartment of Local Train!
Babe Gazing!
Sea Waves!
Staring at couples holding hands, kissing, at times smooching, hugging, coochy cooing!
Crossing the road before fast running skoda runs over!
Getting drenched in Mumbai Rains!
Company of a good ol friend!
Linkin Park & Avril screaming through ear plugs!
There are better things on the shelf waiting to be picked....

There are Guccis & Armanis, Levis & Lees, Bennetons & Reeboks, Loius Vittons & Pradas, Arrows & Tommys.... all around. But bigger things happen at BB..... gear up for 13th-17th september 'Big Day' sale by Big Bazaar (BB), coz I have been working hard for it & so many others have been working for these best offers a brand can put in front of their customers. TRUELY INDIAN!!!

It's been a lovely time....Touchwood!!!

@ Phoenix

& you aren't missing a wrong place :) But trust me, its better to miss it at present as it has been raining since last 3-4 days.

@ Scribblers

Welcoming you & at the same time I am going to Delhi for 3 days :)
Do see as many beaches & see faces as possible, travel in less crowdy locals. As it has been raining hard since 3-4 days, protect yourself. Eat roadside if you love street food but dont take water.

@ Swayam

I am in complete love with the country, Delhi, Bangalore & now 3rd big city Mumbai, all are awesome. Do give it a look more than a mere stopover. It will be worth. I am lso missing 'dilli meri jaan' & will be there for 2-3 days this weekend.

wow...lucky u, doin work u enjoy!

@ think tank

Yeah, it is a city with jams but not unending, neither the people are sowed down by jams. It's a city where people, if unable to move their cars in jam, they take away jam with themselves. :)


@ Maverick

Dude, I am not envying anything. As Delhi is my own city, I love it too. And loving this place also. Current nostalgia is definitely for Delhi.

@ Gunj

Yeah very much enjoying work. & luckily they also gave me first official tour & i am 2 inch broader at chest :)
