M-M-U-M-B-B-A-I

A city full of opportunities or a city full of dreams…some fulfilled and some unfulfilled.
A city that give one so much but takes a lot away from one self..
A place where one will find living souls in numbers but yet so lonely….
A city which is so much close to the heart but yet so distant…
A Small universe in itself that would drive anyone crazy….
A place where you find stars glittering on earth…
The only city in the country that is always wide awake and no sleep.
A rush that wherein one can easily be lost forever and never found.
A maddening crowd that always has a smile but eyes ever in search of something….
Eyes that are longing for unknown,the lost dreams,saddening and weary….
A city which is ever helpful in need like a true friend at the same time is a complete stranger….
A metropolitan wHere one has time for everything but still no time for oneself…..
This is the Mumbai that i saw and felt through my eyes and soul…
At such times is when i remember ….
YE DIL HAI MUSHKIL JEENA YEHAN…ZARA HATKE ZARA BACHAKE YE HAI MUMBAI MERI JAAN…
SALAAM MUMBAI…………….

I am You AND You are Me!

Have you ever thought about comparison? Something that is so easy to do but is highly complex in its form? As a Child and a growing adult, I detested being compared with anyone. I did not understand the reason.  I kept thinking, how can one be compared with another? It is often executed as if it does not matter and is done as a matter of fact! I never understood why it is even done... One thing I knew was how it made me feel. What implications it can have. Comparison is a mighty Tool. It often breaks one but at times builds the Craziest ones. The ones it builds end up repeating the "Compare cycle game" Comparison is not saying, you are not doing or studying or performing like the other person but it is also trying and striving to be like a "PARTICULAR PERSON"  Why do you want to be someone else? Be a Photocopy? Why not be YOU? I was often asked, "Who is your Idol? Whom do You follow?" My all-time answer would be "NONE". I say that because there i...

WOMAN-THY NAME.....

Strong as a rock, emotions running deep as the ocean, patience of a saint, sweet as nectar, innocence that of a child, Mysterious like the universe, thoughtful and wise like a preacher, at the same time furious like the fire, anger like the volcano but above all someone who stands against all odds...This is no one but a WOMAN. As I was passing by I heard someone ask. Do we really need a special Day to celebrate for Women? I t can be taken in 2 ways. One—Maybe because she is special always OR in a note so positive form—Like Why do we need a special day for her? Don’t we already have so many days to celebrate?? Well, my take is...we have valentine’s day for people to express love –rather people who love each other, we have mother’s day, father’s day, May day so on and so forth. But, they are categorized for either a section of people OR for certain relationships.  I feel, Woman's day is a day that acknowledges the female gender, as a whole, irrespective of age, nation...
