'Sir Jee, How is my Drivering?'



After Mum-Papa's 26th Marriage Aniversary celebrations till late last night, today we visited one of the most strictly secured places in Mumbai. Surveillance at Navy near/ around Nagar was virtually unmatched. Not always security people frisk while you are in a public transport. Brigadiers', Colonels' Beach facing houses were aaawweeeee.... (precisely explain my reaction, when I saw that). We saw Navy area & visited navy canteen, mumbai's biggest defence canteen, courtsey papa's navy connections!!

After 6 months, I am again spoiled by mum's helping hand. My room gets duely cleaned & arranged; my things are always ready; I get anything to everything on demand; my clothes are stacked in bathroom racks even before I get in for shower, coz she knows I am late. In 4 words 'it is royal treatment'. After nealy 20 day's stay Mum Papa are leaving day after, I feel that m gonna miss them when they'll leave. And so.... I treated them at one of my all time favourite restaurant 'Pizzeria, Marine Drive' & shopped for everyone in Colaba!!

While traveling back home from office on friday night the Autowala after chatting senseless, showing most ridiculous & stupid stunts, asked me 'Sir Jee, How is my Drivering?' I replied 'Badhiya'! From rash driving to verbal fights, from physical fights to auto driving, from police-jain & the different types of peple in mumbai, he gave me every possible gyaan all throughout the journey & though irritated I did picked one learning of 'Being Confident'!!!

Mumbai life's been fantabulous. But Life, till yesterday was on a different course for last 4-5 days, cold-cough-fever, low confidence, buisy-erratic, totaly unplanned schedule waters your smalles frustation. And than you get porous to be attacked by all negativities. Something similar had happened to me. Thank God that 'auto wala', & my self made resolutions brought back some of lost positivity & I plan to live better in coming week....
