Scenes from my expedition to Mumbai.

Every summer i visit my sister in Mumbai.For a good 15 days or so i do nothing related to achievement and goals.I keep telling myself 'Just let go'.A journey which will not have anything great in it but a reason that i spent my days with her (and got a digicam).Scenes from the trip:

1.A non-reading and all talking train journey to Mumbai.Thanks to the girl from Stella Maris and her brother from St.Michaels.(names delibarately not mentioned)

2.My niece Hita now call me 'Ve mama'.She likes my mobile more than me.She nearly pissed on me.

3.The jogging track lady.Found myself talking to a unmarried lady working as a journalist.My admiration was way beyond its limits.She had read everything i had dreamt of and seen every movie i wished.Her latest cover was some farmer problem in Nasik.

4.Uncle told us his detective story.The government of India gives the best crime detective award every 4 years. This year my uncle got the award.Another role-model comes rolling down my way.

5.Train journey to Dadar.Adventure sports to the core.I loved every bit of it.I thought about people who have been doing this all their school lives.I understood why they say 'You should wrestle your way to the top'

6.Visit to my Aunt's place at Pune.It was as usual sad and depressing. My uncle cannot walk and my cousin sister is different.I'll leave it at that.

7.The look on the face of a young village girl driving a jeep. The car driver in front of us had give her an astonished stare.She gave loads more of the same to him and while she passed our car gave us the cutest of school-girl smiles.Moment to be framed.

8.The fight at the showroom.The digicam purchase did not have the happiest of endings.After a scuffle between my sis and me, cause due to both of us, the mood was downbeat.I stepped on the gas, she did shut up.

9.I gave my sister a hug at the station.When you have the confidence that the action you performed was SURELY right, you are contented.I initiated it.So long...but at last.

10.Train journey back.Small kids climbing up and down the seats.Loved them more than any other neighbours i've had.The kid actually cried when he left the station with his mom.
