My Story Of My Mumbai

Initially I thought about writing this post on Mumbai, then it hit me that what would I write about Mumbai that has never been written about. So I decided to write about my version of mumbai. From the sip of cutting chai to a bite of vada pav to the hustling local to the never ending crowd to the refreshing and mesmerizing marine drive. Everything about this city is so amazing. Its like you come in this city like a stranger and in no time it make you its own. 

It was just a mere co-incidence that I crashed in this city. But I say it was a miracle. I was pretty immature when I came here not sure of what I really was? I was lost, confused, aimless. But this city gave me what exactly I needed, LIFE. This place is the biggest inspiration in itself. I've met different kinds of people here some very good, some bad, some crazy, some difficult to understand, some optimistic, some care free. 

This city gave me the most special gift or say an opportunity to meet the most amazing person I've in my life, My Best Friend. I really think this is silly but frankly speaking I couldn't care less about it. I met her on a social networking site without a hint that we would be the best friends and rest my friends is history. And I know this city still holds many surprises for me and more opportunities to excel. There is a lot to unfold and I am eagerly waiting for those fresh wind to pass through. 

AND IN THE END I WANT TO SUM UP WITH THREE WORDS,"MUMBAI MERI JAAN"

An Uncertain Union

As he was lying besides his lovely wife, smiling and gazing at her angelic face, he recalled how they both first met and how they both fell in love. It was different he thought, different than any other love stories he had seen or heard before. He felt proud and was being thankful to his fate. He again gazed at her affectionately with his love filled eyes, he kissed her cheeks and started recalling that fateful day.

He had to rush back to his home. So he went on board the train and started looking for the TTE. He approached TTE and told him about the uncertain visit to his home and its urgency. The TTE was a good man and understood his dilemma. He made his ticket on board and gave him a seat in First AC. As he opened the door to his cabin, he saw a beautiful angel like girl sitting over there, his heart beats started pounding fast. And then when he saw her grandma sitting over there, the scary old lady, his heart beats became normal.

As they were traveling he tried to steal a glance of her and got Caught 2-3 time and was welcomed with her smile. The train stopped as it arrived a station. He got down to buy a bottle of water and he saw her standing her besides him. He finally said, "HI" to her and she greeted him back with a HI. He then inquired if she needed anything. She pointed toward the chips packet. He bought it for her. Then they boarded back to their cabin where he saw the old scary lady getting down the train. He had a confused look on his face and said to her, "I thought she was her grandmom". She then said "no, she is not my grandma" and started laughing at him. But he thanked to god. 

They were having a very good time chatting with each other. He was cracking jokes and she was laughing. She was tell him about her and all her stories and he was keenly listening. It was night time when he was sleeping when suddenly he heard someone calling for help. It was her, she had fits. He was worried as he didn't knew how to stop it and also he wasn't carrying any metal to keep it in her hand to stop fits. He immediately rushed here and there crying for help. He found some keys and immediately put it in her hands, it slowed down but it didn't stop. He called TTE for help, as TTE rushed to the cabin, he inquired about any doctor being available. Luckily there was a doctor traveling in the next bogey. The doctor was immediately called and as she was looking at the girl. She stated that only a certain medicine would stop the attack. She prescribed the medicine.

With the help of TTE he managed to get train halt for sometime. He immediately ran in the city, got the medicine and came rushing back to her. They gave her the medicine and the attack stopped in sometime. The doctor congratulated him and said, "your wife is alright now" and he just smiled back at the doctor. She came back to her sense, looked at him with teary eyes and couldn't  thank him enough for all he did for her. They were looking at each other and smiling when suddenly she asked that "why didn't he tell doctor that she wasn't his wife". He was taken aback by her question and had no answer. But on her insisting he confessed that he was in LOVE with her. She was stunned by his answer but recalled what just happened and how caring he was. And she simply smiled at him and replied, "I LOVE YOU TOO"


AND THEN HAPPENED A UNCERTAIN UNION AND BEGGINING OF HIS LOVE STORY. LIKE THEY SAY LOVE CAN HAPPEN TO YOU AT ANY PLACE OR ANY TIME AND YOU JUST CAN'T RESIST IT. :)
