Being in Bombay

The one thing good about Bombay is the sea.

It is not an uncommon thing. Many cities are based by the water.

But Bombay is so starved of everything else, that the sea takes on a whole new meaning. It represents a peace and a gentleness that the daily life(?) in Bombay takes away. It is one place an average Mumbaikar can sit without being in a hurry to move on to the next mindless task at hand.

One thing is for sure, If you want to live in Bombay and have the two most precious things (at least in my book) space and time - You should have tons and tons of money and perhaps an effiecient non office going way to earn it. (in other words ... a rich dad)

Else just go to Calcutta. Live the good life. Live in a city with a soul and a complicated but all embracing heart.

Do we have a choice?

I like to think, yes. We write our destiny, not only with our actions but more so with our desires.
