A tryst with Mumbai life - hands on!
OK here's an update - I still count myself as new to Mumbai! Now please don't give me the "i knew u were always a Dilliwali at heart" kind of look but here's y i think so - though I did move out of Delhi early last year and became a part of this hustling bustling city, I had so far led a v.sheltered life. To the extent that travelling extensively was not a necessity but a matter of choice, after a good 19 months in the city I feel strangely like-a-stranger. I daresay I was probably never a part of the true spirit of Mumbai - its lifeline, the locals!So far, so true..A flash of lightening, the earth shakes (with all the construction work currently being initiated, or WIP this cud very well b true!) and the city decides to adopt me, full on! Come November '09, post-Diwali-well-fed dilli-di-kudi has to seriously contemplate and be party to peak office-goers train travelling! Only one thing, trust me its nothing close to a 'party'!! But economics warrants it, kya karein...That's y I like this subject so much - I mean how many physicists,chemists,engineers, CAs, or even doctors can honestly say "because 'respective subject name' warrants it";P But as an Economist, there's lots out there that can be spoken of in my lingo - in fact I honestly believe, eco is actually the subject of life in disguise!! But that's a digression that train-travelling has left me too exhausted to get into!!!!!!!
