that it's your outlook towards life that matters.


Yet another day, full of plans, and new hopeful beginnings, facing practicality..one more time. Anna Nalick singing her 2am again, making it all so melancholic, even though not relating it, but her litany, is my cry, its just that you feel so empathic and so crushed..you feel so torn. Man that feeling, is not grand, but you feel that you're the only woman who can feel it, right now, no hypocrite can try and feign it. That's why Dido and Anna just seem to hit the nail.Their songs are liek questions to the wind, to the air, and pacifying the fire within all of us.

Yesterday I realised that Bombay is indeed a very large city...as I travel the route of 80 I get exposed to the most homely part of the suburb, Dadar. I saw a kid with his mom at the signal, and he chuckled, and questioned her with such inquisitiveness, that a 28 year old female would be delighted to just answer all his riddles of the world, and she put questions to him as they watched cars and a few odd buses swoosh by.And then she looked lovingly around if anyone saw her little angel! Oh, the thing with little mothers, how they love their children :)

I saw a little kitten try to scale a wall with such dexterity, that just makes you wonder at the inner strength of a cat which you sometimes lack.

I saw a hoarding cut the city scape into such quadrants, that each one depicted an ongoing story. One had two kids by the Bandra Mithi river, playing with the stones and searching for the fish. Another had an orange flag, the characteristic of the Shiv Sena, which bustled in the air with ferocity, it shone and sparkled like a knight in shining armour. Now how many call them that, is a question of debate.Another had the very large section of the worli-sea link, a bridge that Bombay has observed for years together, and one had a man, rushing to get on the other side of the road.

I saw a child being bullied by his sister, and 3 octogenarians care for each other, knowing every habit of each other, protecting each other from the traffic descending on the road. :)

You know an apple tastes so good, maybe I really like apples, and I never knew it...I wonder why?

In my advertising world, everything is just crazy, laidback, but the brain has to function at such rapid speeds, funny that sometimes I just feel like taking a vacation, yet again. ;)
