Yet another day at work…

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

A half empty or a half full bottle of water on the desk
strokes of an irritable hindi song in the background
people ready to rust in their chairs
time seems to have died in our neighbourhood today

Anticipating a brighter future
angry with the stale present
floating in the daunting memories of the past
dreams seem to have broken in our neighbourhood today

Staring at the to-do list in the diary
struggling to keep the eyes open
forcing a polite conversation
enthusiasm seems to have dried in our neighbourhood today

Post 588 - Living in Mumbai

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Why this peculiar post name?

Well thats how this post was saved in my drafts for a very long time and I am feeling too lazy to change it to anything else now.

The post earlier had a list of movies I had seen in theatre ever since i moved to mumbai. But I guess it got too much for me to update. The list is pretty long now…

I dont think I have watched as many movies in my life as I have in the last one and a half years. Well thats what your mode of entertainment really boils down to every weekend when you live in a city where you have no family but a handful of friends.

Life has been busy in Mumbai. And before you jump the gun… let me clarify that this is not just another ranting session about mumbai…its actually much more.

I have been here for a few months short of two years now and I havent really had a day where I feel at peace in this city. While I do agree there are a few things that I LOVE about this place (dont be too quick to smile) but it loses on the balance handsdown to the things I HATE about mumbai.

Let me put those things here for your to understand where I am coming from…

Yes… you heard me right. Shiney Ahuja is back in B-town.

Well ….ok now I just did !

Saw him last night strolling in the compound along with his wife… couple looked quite lovey dovey.. have no comments to offer on the case though…

One shall only wait and watch !

Happy New Year guys !

And another one goes by… but this one just flew…
I dunno whether its married life or this city that you feel that lifes zipping past you.

Loads was done, accomplished, learnt, felt, regretted…last year.

Hopefully this year too there will be new learnings, new mistakes and new milestones.

But one thing I definately want to do this year is to dedicate some time off the week to the blog. Have had some interesting stuff to blog about but havent really gotten myself to sit and type.

So i guess this year we shall get to see some meaningful blog enteries… specially on travel and restraunts since thats a huge chunk that I want to write reviews about.

Blog entry on trip to goa…. coming soon !
