MUMBAI MERI JAAAAAAAAN....

Was barely a forthnight that i left my little city that I was despartely yearning to come back . The choatic lifestyle,the hustle-bustle of totally maddening city ,the rush hour traffic ,the noise, the crowds, the trains and most of all the people I seemed to be missing all of it.Sunddenly I was no longer travelling by trains it all was really quiet and peaceful no crowds nothing it was as though my otherwise crazy lifestyle had come to a complete standstill and all of sundden I had all the time in the world .
But werid as it may sound I still didn't enjoy myself (as I had imagined myself to), sunddenly all the peculiar sights and sounds of my city which otherwise would constantly crib about was something i was really looking forward to seeing once again yes ! indeed i was waiting to see the maddness,grime,chaos,vadapav/bhelpuri/panipuri wallas(that i would otherwise compeletly detest).
Funny isn't it even when i had the most beautiful beaches(that were really clean) ,a more serene and calm atmosphere and a very laidback relaxed lifestyle(all of which i always thought make an ideal holiday and something that I looked forward to) I still yearned for MUMBAI ,
and when was back in MUMBAI i constantly cribbed about its flaws well seriously" THIS IS MUMBAI YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH IT , AND YOU DEFINETLY CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT OUT"

CRYSTAL WATERS.......

as i sat watching the reflection of setting sun in the water , seeing darkness gently set in intially its the lighter hues that gradually becoming darker. The water as still as ever , indeed for a moment i felt it was the reflection of the current happenings of my life , that had filled it it with complete darkness &yes i had given up all hope . I didnt see a way out i felt so lost just then my thoughts were interrupted when i saw the water sparkling (due to the streetlights around), it was so beautiful and it had such a soothing effect on me, its then that i realised even through the darkest hour one cannot give up so easily afterall like another things this to shall pass its only momentary .as i walked back home that night i felt strangely less burdened , also suprisingly it didnt take me long to stand up tackle my problems .I didnt feel so helpless any more it helped take some of the decisions which proably i wouldnt have done other wise , all i now know that i am at peace something that ceased to be with me for so long finally i can say its the end to a very long day indeed
