Things Bombay is made of (14days later)

The place where I come from, usually everything is everyone’s business. But not in Mumbai.

The city welcomed me with light showers. I was being thanked for getting monsoons with me.

I had heard that this city is always running, no one stops for you and if you stop then you’ll be pushed. It is literally true if you were on a road or at a train station. But that kind of struggle is inherent to this city owing to how over-populated it is here. There would hardly be any piece of land that is unoccupied.

Given any time of the day it is very usual to find people here, unwinding.

A look at the sea and it magically washes away all thoughts.

This one time in office, my phone rang on the loudest volume, I got so conscious, I immediately blurted a sorry and put the ringer on silent only to realize not even a single head turned around to see where the noise came from. If I were in Delhi there wouldn’t be a single head that wouldn’t turn.

My office is somewhere there in that building.

This is the view from the train station.

Places work take you!

Had gone for a meeting to this building, and found these cars in the parking.

Orange is my fave color!

On my way to another meeting, I decided to walk instead of taking the auto through this road in Bandra called the Chapel Road.

This melted my heart. I was in sheer awe of this view.

We were walking back to Bandra station on a footover bridge. We could hear the prayers from a mosque nearby. The one time when everyone were maybe in a rush, but not them. They stopped, laid out their mat and prayed.

It has been pouring (mostly) for past few days but I am told that this is just the beginning. The weather is mostly cool, windy (and humid when it is not raining).

Till the time I can catch the train to work tomorrow, I am going to enjoy this weather!

Happy Bombay to you!
