Mumbai Meri Jaan..

I never thought it will hurt to miss a city!!I mean, yeah..You miss people..And that hurts..But a city??The truth is..That it does..And it hurts like hell..

To me, Mumbai is Bombay..It's the city which has made me who i am..The city which has given me the most happiness..The city which has given me the most beautiful relationships of my life..Be it friends..Or more than that..It somehow feels good..The air, it makes me feel happy..It makes me feel like this is the place i want to spend the rest of my life with (I do hope i gett o spend the rest of my life there!)I know people have a million complaints about that city..The population, the over crowded locals, the smell, the fast pace etc etc..But its all that that i love Bombay for and soooo much more..I love the fact that i can roam around in that city at 1 o'clock in the nigt in an auto and not lose a heart beat!!I don't have to be on my toes all the time, looking out for people trying to swindle me..I don't have to listen to cheap comments made on me (It does happen, but its far lesser compared to Delhi!)More than anything else, i feel at peace there..That everything will sort out..I never thought a city can make me feel this way about me and life..But it does..Probably it is coz i have spent the most "defining" years of my life my there..Or probably it is the people i have met there whom i have grown to love..Or whatever, it's irrelevant..And i miss it..Like i miss the people i love..I am dying to get back there..

Perfect Date..

Have you seen that episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. where Ross and Rachael are in the planetarium??If you have then you might get a little idea about what i am going to write now..

Am one of those moderately romantic females who expect a card and flowers on her birthday but not on the rest 364 days of the year..So whenever someone has asked me what my idea of the perfect date or perfect romantic evening, i have never given a third thought to it!( I will be fibbing if i say i haven't given a second thought to it!)But yeah, seeing that episode few years back, made me realise how i picture that night for me..

Sandy beach or green grass with dew glistening from it..Dark,clear skies..Endless stars glittering..Faded light of the moon..And my love and me..Staring up at infinity..Yeah..sounds pretty perfect to me :-)

I do wish this would comes true..I really do..

Expecting too much??

I don't understand..I never have been able to..Does everything have to be spelled out to people, specially those who matter to you??This has been one of those unanswerable questions in my life..If i have known that person for years, is it unjust for me to expect them to understand me and my expectations without having to give a detailed explanation every time!!Can it not be understood??I know i am complicated, but i am sure i am not that complicated that my loved one's don't know what will make me happy, or what will hurt me..It annoys me to have to tell them what i am feeling bad about or what i thought they would do or whatever..I don't expect this every time, but yeah..Once a while, it would be nice if i didn't have to spell out all that..It gets frustrating..I need people to know me well..I need them to get me flowers without me having to beg them for it(This is just a small example..I mean more deeper issues here..)!!Is this expecting too much from them??Am i being selfish??Am i the only one like this??I don't know if i will be able to answer these questions ever..

Weekend Getaway!!

This isn't like my other posts with introspection on life or such..Just a simple account of a short, but wonderful weekend in Dehradun and Mussorie..

We ( this includes my bhaiya's and bhabhi and my lil nephew who actually likes me!!) left for dehradun at 4:30a.m. on saturday morning..Had an absolutely back breaking ( ask harsh bhaiya!) 7 hour journey..Took the wrong route i guess..Anyway..I don't remember going to ddun before, so i was amazed when we entered the town..It had an outlet of Yo! China!!!Not that i am particularly fond of that place, but it looked liked mini delhi (owing to its proximity to it i guess)..I guess i had the image of it being a small quaint town, but it even had a McD outlet (if you have been to bhopal, you'd know why i was surprised!)..Then rushed for lunch to a friends place..From there we departed to mussorie..We went to see this absolutely amazing piece of land on top of some mountain in the interiors of the city..I almost died seeing the route to that place!!God bless the people who drove us there..I have never seen a steeper, narrower drive to any place..There were actually places where one couldn't see how broad the road was after the turn!!It was soooooo scary!!!Anyway i don't kn ow if the place was worth the drive or not, but i do know that it was breath taking!!The view was just green luscious mountains with their peaks covered by clouds, magnificent green forests and absolutely blue skies!!!It was like heaven!!From there, i saw small, english style houses, covered by trees, in the mountains..I so wished i could live there..They would just be the most romantic places to snuggle up to someone and sit looking at oblivion..Its a wonderful thought!!

Anyway, after that, we just went home and crashed..Though i couldn't sleep even then!!Went for a sumptuous breakfast again and then left for here..This time, after gathering more knowledge about the routes, we took a much better and smoother way and reached back in 5 hrs!!That was it..Very short vacation i know, but i enjoyed it thoroughly..

It's good to have such getaways at times..Brightens Life!!:-)
