Ever wondered.......

Ever wondered what about this MAD city is attractive?
the pace?
the vibrancy?
the people?
the trains?
the traffic?
the pollution?
the noise?
over-crowdedness?
probably the city itself............
Yesterday work was usual...few password resets and unlock users. Only portion of the day worth looking forward to was visit by our Team Leader ...half the day always passes by wondering how the other team has SOOOO much to do....and how meagre is my contribution to this project.....
Since past few days my constant companion has been a persistent HEADACHE....well yesterday the friggin' headache surpassed its own capabilities....
I left office early. Couldn't take my usual route (from masjid-bunder to bandra and from bandra-mirard) decided to take a cab to churchgate and take a virar fast hoping to sit comfortably and reach miraroad safely.
Reached churchgate .......virar train was 15 mins away...informed sid...and was patiently waiting for the train to arrive...
train is 1 min away and allllll the ladies and gentlemen (pun intended!) are gearing up for the penultimate war for the window seat .......
got into the train and as always was standing...no space....my condition is terrile by now thanx to my splitting headache.......
by the time Dadar arrived I was smothered by people...thanks to my height people cant clamber OVER me atleast !!!!! sigh!!!!
by the time the train reaches Andheri there is no space to breathe forget stand......
by the time Borivali arrives there is so much to pay attention to eg. a college girl talking to her mithai-wala bf on phone, a gujju aunty trying to connect to her relative in Ahmedabad using her reliance phone, 2 aunties involved in a bitter fight because one spoilt the others hairdo (can u beleive it??????), college girls discussing their day in college, women discussing aishwarya-abhishek's marriage to mahima choudhary's pregnancy......
Ohh not to forget to mention the lady standing just behind me who was really short and her hand didn't reach the handle so to hold herself straight she had raised her hand up and it rested comfortably on my shoulder(??????)....there was something in her hand...felt like a huge block of lead to me...which she banged on my head at regular intervals (I could predict when the next bang would hit my head :)) )

No paracetamol could have set me right but all the mess in a virar local collectively works in my favour and I actually, unbelievably do not have a headache anymore when i alight at miraroad...

I must be nuts....but MUMBAI..truly MERI JAAN. :)

I dream....

I dream
- to follow the stars
no matter how far
-to fight the foe
to run where brave dare not go
-to give the world the best Ive got

I dream to bear sorrow in the hope my dreams come true someday.............. if not tommorow.

Nothing specific

Y do people not care?
Y do people end up with a job they dont enjoy?
Y do companies take in more people than they require?
Y do parents behave as if they have never been kids?
Y do doctors smoke so much?
Y do u think u think? :P
