Mumbai Diaries...Part 1

Phew!!! I just completed 23 days in Mumbai... and guess what??? I survived... I wish i could have penned down all my mixed feeling from day 1 but got lost somewhere in this hustle-bustle of the city... now when i finally have a few moments for myself so here I am.........

MUMBAI.....was supposedly my city of dreams....a place which was always calling me to get all that i wanted out of life...I was happy...I was excited...but now when I have actually landed up in this city...trust me...I am HATING it... I am just not able to figure out what is it exactly that I don't like about this place...Is it the weather...is it the rains (I was in love with the rains 23 days back).... is it the superfast Shatabdi express life... It can be the travelling (Auto- Local- Auto- Local- Auto)...am i just homesick... so actually its a mocktail of a number of things that I am hating about Mumbai....I feel like running away to my mom at the end of the day where I'll get all the love and care in the world....

I feel like i have turned into a machine which is switched on in the morning and stops working after mid-night when the battery eventually dies down... There are a few add-ons which are actually killing the life of this battery like an almost flood experience... the crowded trains...  this city resists you and no matter what you do, it just won't accept you............

So when i actually sit and ponder over what is actually keeping me running inspite of so much frustration...I have just ome answer...I love my work...It gives me ultimate satisfaction at the end of the day...Everyday I am chasing some part of my dream...I've got to live my dreams...I dream big and i want it all...I will give my best shot till this place accepts me as its own...I know in my heart that I will always be a small town girl with those big dreams and I am proud of that :)

Thats all for the day...There has to be a lot more...
