today, i sang out loud and found myself smiling because. i've discovered that i enjoy working alone and unrestrained. solitude eases the pressure of being answerable to people i frankly would not give a **** about, if i was not working with/ for them. i re- discovered my love for the weird - in myself and others. its that thing that makes me laugh and sing by myself and out loud. its the thing that makes people talk to themselves and day dream. while dealing all day extensively with dates and years, i thought back to a time, a few years ago, when i did not need alcohol to be hugely entertaining. i can still get that way sometimes, now its met with un- understanding stares that say "act your age". except, i'm still debating my age. but thats another blog post.
i've also discovered that rain can make even the most unforgiving city seem like home. it has been raining in mumbai all day and the effect is that of soft light falling on a harsh, time- worn face. the grim lines seem melancholy and the shadows in the eyes seem human. there's even the hint of a smile. i think the moods and vibes of cities are reflections of their weather.
there used to be a time when i associated mumbai with sheer youth. used to.
let there be love.

i thought you were in bangalore..so where r u in mumbai?
As long as your life does not include rush hour mumbai local commute, bombay is a great city, otherwise it is hell
in mumbai since a year. it is a city that feels like a supernova.
if i'm right, we've exchanged cities. you from mumbai to bangalore and me, the other way round
yeah,
been in bangalore for a couple of years now. Feel like going back to Mumbai,for some reason, the urge is very strong this time ..let's see what the future holds.
