mumbai dekho !

Today when I sat down alone I reflected back on what Mumbai bestowed upon me and what this place taught me? I wouldn’t be able to make a note of millions of other astounding things which happened to me here, but still a few are as follows.
It turned me from a believer to a practical thinker, from the one who splurges to the one who thinks million times before pulling out that green Gandhi note from the pocket.
Be it the field of pimples on my face or be it knack of getting on & off the local, the fact is that it has given me a lot, lot more than I thought and will continue, I bet on that.
Came as a stranger in this metropolis I soon got the flair to survive this city and imbibed all small-big factors and elements of it.
Got tied in some knots which are not easy to untie-certain relations which keep me leashed with this fast moving city, where people are busy running their rat race. Something that I observed about the people here is that they are so busy running with their heads high and eyes glued to their cell phones that they don’t have time to look around at some beautiful things. They can never figure out a beautiful rainbow in the sky, all they know is to walk through the rain and over the puddles; they know how to move on in life. It is surprising but I found out a few out of the crowd who really care, to whom my existence matters a lot.
This place is responsible for rendering me some relations which I didn’t want, which I always avoided- avoided till the 18 years of my life, but this is what we call life and as they say some things in life are unfair and some inevitable; a life with abundant spices and colors. And now that relation has become my need, my want. I see millions of faces everyday but not everyone wants to be or would a part of your life, the life which is always ready to give us surprises. And trust me coming to Mumbai is one of those bombs which suddenly exploded on my head and somewhere deep inside my heart feels happy to be here.
All I want to say is that in the midst of this race just don’t forget to enjoy your precious life. Try and take a detour, it’s fun.
