Bombay Diaries 5: Going Home

When I was young, I always had an urge to leave home and see the world. You could think of it as a teenage rebellion and trust me, I was just super eager to leave home. And now, when I am away from home, I cannot even justify even a single reason of how somebody could be happy being away from family. I haven’t been home for the past 5 months and I keep adding things to my “To-Do List” when I get to go home. But living in Bombay is worth waiting for.

Bombay Diaries 4: Trip to Pune

Bombay has been fun but I got a chance to get away from Bombay. This chance came when Radhika invited me to her aunt’s place in Pune where she was going to stay for the weekend. I had never been to Pune before and knowing the kind of inquisitor that I am, I wanted to see that place. We had to leave on Sunday morning and get back on Monday morning. The journey was a comfortable one and the Mumbai-Pune highway is one exception to the otherwise badly maintained Maharashtra highways.

Shopping. Please imagine this word in bright blue neon light bulbs and imagine its dazzled effect on the objects lying around it. That exactly would also be a woman’s response to this term. Even if a family has gone out on a holiday, the lady of the house will have one whole day kept separately to raid the local markets. If you go by her logic, you always find new things at new places, right? 

Bombay Diaries -Part 1

No matter how hard you try, you get something only when you are ready to take it. And it is now, after 6 years of yearning that I understand the whole idea behind this particular phrase. To come to Mumbai was a dream. To live here was a desire. A desire so strong that it kept pushing me to try and try again. And when I least expected it, did I land up here in this beautiful city of buzz and hustle.
