Both good and bad
Really - Irony is the way of life..
It amazing what all I am capable of doing.
M thinking of having my middle name as "Crabtree".. the way I switch from one emotion to other. I just wish I remain honest to each one of them..
I’m going deaf, you’re growing melancholy.
Things fall apart, I don’t know why we bother at all.
But life is good and it’s always worth living at least for a while.
If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy.
They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes.
On second thoughts, I’d rather hang around and be there with my best friends,
I know they want me ( a little deviation from the Belle and Sebastian thingie)

Mumbai Airport woes
Mumbaikars have a pretty good, honest image among most of us. And it is correct upto a certain extent. Well, not so if you are at the airport. Be ready to be fleeced by the taxiwallahs here.
A bunch of them are honest about the fact that they charge you extra. However, if you happen to ask for a taxi with meter fare.. they literally take you for a ride. Happened with me today morning.
A uniform clad security person (apparently) approached me and said - madam meter se jaana hai kya? I said yes and he directed me to a taxi parked there. The taxi took me to worli old passport office as i had asked. But wait, the meter read 180 which amounted to 380 bucks !! Now any person who has lived in mumbai will know it is more than double the appropriate amount.
It is downright cheating and shameful for the honest mumbai ..

A month in mumbai
wooohh....
And ironically yesterday was the most rotten day yet. traveled alone in local train, taxi, walked on roads so damn crowded they can give canned tuna a close competition.
Past month has been ... I dont know.. i dont have a word for it - upsetting ? enlightening ? happy ? tragic ? I dont know. I have found time to think. I thought and found I have made some funny mistakes which are probably gonna stick with me throughout my life.
I found I dont have to take so seriously all the time. There is nothing time cant heal.
There is nothing on earth that can parallel being close to ur loved ones.
And yes.. once again i found THE truth of life - It is tough to shed weight !!
well.. doodle along guys..
Have fun
