*sobs* the holidays are over. Abhiket would be heading back to Kolkata and all that partying and purposelessly hanging around would meet the full-stop. We fished every visitable corner in Mumbai and like always, the air down here didn't disappoint us. I think Mumbai survives , wtf it even scurries ahead, simply because it keeps changing. It is speedy, lustrous as well as lacklustre. Mumbai is gruesome for logs. Out here you have to make haste even if you have all the time in the world for things. People would run around to catch locals even when it is scheduled 1o mins. hence. They would alight midway, dangerously tossing themselves, while they know they would have one minute of halt soon. Mumbai respects turbulence. If you are slow, it is wise to head home.
*Mumbai is spanking clean. It is full of stench as well.
*Mumbai is awfully rich. It is precariously poor as well.
*Mumbai is serene and beautiful. Esp.the shimmering sea and the wind. But at places it is very ugly. Your eyes burn at such sights.
At times you would think that a lifetime in Mumbai is not enough to explore. Facing the sea and feeling the wind across my face, I grimaced that my whole life would be blown away in one blink. The sea is so vast that everything seems very mundane before it. The mumbai skyline seems to be a spot on the cheek of eternity ( *plagiarism!!!). Also, speed is not always welcome for me . A pause, at times, is the need of the hour. But here...you got no rest.
*Mumbai is stylish. Sprawling malls and a cool crowd. But visit the flea markets. Style can come cheap.
Mumbai is a marriage of opposites. It is a supreme example of oxymoron. Heck!! It is awfully awesome.
