In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams

Okkk... I said I'd talk about my trip to Bombay... Well... I think if I start talking about the whole trip... This post is gonna be endless.. so I'll just give a brief description...

A few observations... Bombay, for all the great things about it.. is wayyyyy tooo dirty... I dont think there were so many slums the last time I'd gone there... And yet now... Everywhere I looked there was a slum cluster... Sad really... People feel that the rainy season is the worst time to visit Bombay.. For me.. its the best time... Bombay rains are so amazing.. I got drenched the first day that I reached there.. and for 6 days, my general state was medium to very very drenched :)... I was in Pune for just a day.. and I didnt get to see much of it.. But yeah.. someone owes me 52 bucks for a very wrong recommendation... and also punitive damages for the face loss in front of my younger brother :).. The weather there was awesome... btw, I thought Pune was on the leeward side of some mountain... then why the fuck was it raining incessantly!!!!! Ok, I've driven a lot on Indian roads... and I think that the Bombay-Pune expressway is the best highway in the country.. Not only becuz its an amazingly well maintained road.. But also the view.. I almost felt like I was driving in upstate New York.. Or mabbe it was just the rain effect... Watever it was.. it was just amazing... I went to Bandstand and the reclaimation area in Bandra and that was a sight.. I just wanted to tell those people... Guys get a room... Also I wanted to tell them... Enjoy it while you can.. Cuz it wont last ;)...

Finally... the one thing I adore about Bombay.. the sea.. I was staying in Juhu for most of the time so I had the most amazing view of the sea.. and I also went to the beach a lot... It used to be such a nice beach.. But I guess that was a long time ago... I love it all the same I guess... Too many good times are associated with that place... and some bad ones too...
Oh also, I think Bombay people are too used to travelling in local trains... There was a lot of turbulence on our flight back to Delhi, and yet none of the Bombay people seemed to be affected by it... The flight was literally shaking like a train.. and people were just busy doing what they do... Me on the other hand.... I had my eyes closed and Guns n Roses on loud...

Got struck by the proverbial thunderbolt yesterday!!! The girl in question though, is completely off limits :((


my lyrics for today:

And I’d give up forever to touch you
’cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that i’ll
Ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
’cause sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t want to miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t
Coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive

And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
