Rab ne bana dee jodi , Bigg boss 2 , Indian Idol 4 .. IDEA ad.. and so much more ... these r d last things that were on when i left India , is it that my relation with her,will almost fade out and stay connected only till these ? I wonder to myself , what is it that will bind me still .. how will i stay connected ... IPL , cricket , elections , aajtak , MTV roadies ... ive left all of it there .. and i feel dis desperate need to stay in tuch wid things there .. d same way as i was earlier ... but i guess it was only dat mch , its CNN , kobe bryant, Mc nabb ,American idol now ...
I wont knw mch of India now ... and somehow ... that duznt feel good .. i miss mumbai ... every single thing about it , d traffic , d people , d pollution ... rains , work ,the crazy gujju patients , bandstand , powai lake , galleria, IIT .. everything .. nothing in dis whole world will ever match up to any of it , well yeah i was alone there and i hve family here , but for five long yrs , d city never let me feel lonely , in its own way , Mumbai was family ... it was home , Mumbai will always be home ... It taught me to live fearlessly and from the heart .. inculcated in me d famous spirit of Mumbai ... gave me d kinda compassion noone cud ...
The auto walas who wud go out of d way to help me find way when i was lost , d watchman who wud make sure i find a parking spot, d ppl who wud help me park my car in parallel parks , d nutty bhaiya who wud definitely get milk n bread , all i needed to do was call ... d bus conductor who wud make sure i get a seat when i used d bus ... the bhakti guys .. who wud home deliver d smallest things possible at any time ,night or day .. even in heavy rains ... the locksmith who wud make keys for me every now and then at any time i lost my keys ..
Ever helpful people , caring and kind .. how many of them actually knew me ... probably none ... but d spirit of d city was such .. u didnt need to knw them ... they wud be there at an arms lenght ... d city amazes me ... all i can say is THANK YOU !
