Dilli Vs. Mumbai

1. Dilli has BIG roads....and the traffic flows..although the distances are long!
In Mumbai, you find yourself stuck in a traffic that is like constipation...
2. Public transport is next to non existent...(the metro is there... but still hasnt covered all parts of the city...)...I had to take those things called radio taxis, which are expensive and arent immediate...you need to wait for abt 30 mins before u get one...
In mum, Get out of the home, and u see loads of BEST buses, tonnes of rickshaws that are cheap, and taxis ...getting about is not a problem.
3. Walk down the road in Delhi, and people LOOK at you if you are a girl....and in MUM, people dont give a shit even if u are a pretty girl!
4. Parathas taste better than in mumbai...
5. You cant live without an Airconditioner in Delhi in summer....In mumbai, you can get by....although its bloody humid and you sweat a lot!
6. Lotsa historical structures in Delhi...ofcourse its got a richer history to boast about...and not so many skyscrapers in there...where as Mum is dotted with Tall buildings, one taller than the other...and slums interspersed between them...
7. Delhi as such seems much more 'organised' where as when u think mum, the first word that comes to my mind is 'Chaos'

Cheers & signin off!

You are Disconnected!

That was a strange feeling!

I was speakin to an ole friend... per say...same name...same appeareance...same voice...same number...
but somehow it was different this time.

Until we said bye and hung up, there loomed a heavy silence in our conversation.
Ofcourse, we moved thru the motions of it... How are you?! How have you been ? and the likes of it... But in the end.... I was only too glad we hung up...

Not that i dont appreciate my friend...but there was the squeamish feeling in my stomach...that somehow....this person i was talking to...had metamorphed into something that i no longer recognized...

Or was it me? Or was it the both of us?

May be thats life!

Stealthy Lover

Surreptitiously ,
she visited us in the wee hours of the night

she leaves her footprints for us to see in the mornin
she happens to be
the first showers in mumbai
who visited us last night
and the night before
and left her wet kisses on the earth...

when will thee proclaim thy love for the earth in broad daylight!?
When will thee claim the city, thou pouring rains of mumbai monsoon?!

Sty in the eye!

i got a sty
in the eye
makes me shy
when they stare- the passers-by

i met a doc
and you know what?
she took a shiny scalpel
seeing which, my heart fell

i got a sty
in the eye

I hate Him

There is me....and then,
there is Him.
All powerful 'Him' pervading my space
My tiny being
Banishing my days into beady sweats
Driving me mad,
irritable to the core
He is one who
could bring my blood to boil...

I rarely go out these days
for I fear him
fear him to rob me of my youth

I hate Him!

for He is the 'Sun in Indian Summers'
