OF CITIES

Now I am in Mumbai...last six months I have travelled between hyderabad.... delhi... Jaipur...Mumbai

All the cities are so different from each other..yet I am not out of place...Delhi and Jaipur I still understand as I have been living in Delhi for such a long time..but Hyderabad and Mumbai..they are so different from each other and from Delhi and jaipur...somewhere the Nomadic life seems to have kicked itself back to life and I have in a strange way started liking it.

Hyderabad was where I in true sense "got out", never been a pub or going out to drink person, things really turned with drinking at least a beer almost every night became a ritual of sorts not to mention clubbing...that was new and I did not dislike it primarily because I did not have to dance ...still very awkward when somebody asks me \ forces me and also because it was 10 Downing street..a pub where great music is played.

Jaipur.. would have been a really a drab place otherwise, but Padma..the conspirator of good times being there..hence Tabloo (Have already written about it) or some new place to eat. Once she left did not really have time to reflect due to the heavy work schedule.

Now in Mumbai ... this is my second stint here...lat time I came it was in 98 working for Birdy's by taj in Bandra..never liked it then, however now... very different experience..DUM HAI SEHAR MAIN...never seen such a safe place...though have not experienced the night life..the fact that none of the roads are empty is a testament in itself.

Let's see where my next destination will be...
