Mumbai's First

Listening to some good old music instigated me to sum up my initial days in Mumbai. Its just been 100 odd day that I am here now with my new job. Its been a different world all together. An hrs drives to work and even worst when an hour is just added doing nothing when coming back home.. So, I thought things will be easy with the life line of Mumbai,the local trains but to my luck... :) "Asman se tapke aur khajur pe atke" Its a tough ball game to board it in the peak hrs & the fight for survival starts, each station is like a sea of people being added to the ocean of them already managing to cling on to that 6 inches of handle with a min of 2 hands already on it. After traveling for about 2 months regularly in local trains here, now I have understood why the real estate prices are so steep here. We have to actually fight for that extra bit of space if any created during the journey of life(pun intended) as I may call it. Professionally these 100 odd days have been great. New people, new work profile, new market everything is like a lolly pop, every time I lick it its very very tangy n sweet. In a team of 4 the creative has to be at its best because every day brings in a new idea n execution plan. Must comment on the my human but hunter boss.. A sweetheart bawa but a kickass go getter when is comes to work. No wonder the guy has made it big in this competitive market. Sometime I feel its has been good move to move on from the colour world of Radio Mirchi. Lets see what big is in store... On the house front its been a party every night.. Cos when u r back in your hostel the only thing that u do is Party or may i say Party HARD.. On a given day it could be Whiskey or it could just be another ICE Cream night with all friends whom i since more than a decade. Kundya & Ankush have been the real rock stars of 301 Gokul Nagari 2. Monday nights belong to the youngest member of the house Mr. Mulay. He is one man that I have loads to learn from. Not just his patience but his total approach to life has been a learning for a boy in me. To sum him up a genuine GEM of a person. Ankush has moved on to a new location with Sunila which has pushed us in a scenario to look out for a 1bhk in the vicinity. But no regrets.. It fun to be here in Kandivali.

The 3 idiots back home in Pune say.. the sentiman in me has irrupted since I have moved here.. I guess I agree to them.. There's everything here in Mumbai but more to miss :) All in all... I remember the maestro Rafi's song from the movie CID..

Aye dil hai mushkil jeena yahan
Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan

Kahin building kahin traame, kahin motor kahin mill
Milta hai yahan sab kuchh ik milta nahin dil 
Insaan ka nahin kahin naam-o-nishaan
Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Aye dil hai..

Kahin satta, kahin patta kahin chori kahin res
Kahin daaka, kahin phaaka kahin thokar kahin thes 
Bekaaro ke hain kai kaam yahan
Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Aye dil hai..

Beghar ko aawara yahan kehte has has
Khud kaate gale sabke kahe isko business
Ik cheez ke hain kai naam yahan
Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan

So True Man...
