Bombayed :)

Yes, I have been Bombayed again and boy, am I overjoyed! :D

The funny thing about being in Bombay after being in Mangalore is that I end up carrying the entire city in my head. The swarming crowds, the "dhandu" conversations on the street, the overflowing locals, the wonderous aroma of all kinds of food being cooked around every corner, the gutter smells interspread with an Armani, the duality of bright blue tarpaulin chawl-roofs right beside luxurious sky scrapers... The heady combination of all that is Mumbai is in my head and I take it with me everywhere!

01-01-2012

At exactly 00:00, 01-01-2012, I got a missed call. From my PSR. :P That was how the new year chimed in :P

My Potts called a few minutes later and it was like a shower of happiness all across from Baroda to Mangalore.

And then a few more Baroda calls later, I slept :) I like you, 2012. You seem simple. :)

In what way is Miss Precious better than me? Just because she studied SCIENCE? Just because she thinks architecture means putting up Champaner-lookalike pics as her cover photo?
