Aamchi Mumbai!!!!!!!


Every time I visit Mumbai, the city never bores me, infact I for some reason feel very much at home, and itz one of those cities where I would love to spend time working for few years, though not very sure if I should make it my home but yeah I wouldn't mind it making my home.

This time around, I got to stay in a really nice place in Bandra and was put up with this very good friend with whom I could tickle my intellectual thoughts and also get an honest feedback on my thought process. I think overall we complement each others thought process and also help each other look at other options.

Then, another really good friend of mine who insisted that I be picked up from the airport and dropped and it was an honor to have her and children joinin us for dinner and it got even better coz I was picked up from the airport and decided we would do the new addition to Mumbai the Sea link and it was worth the drive by the lights.

Then Sat was the usual pilgrimage of Colaba, dinin at Leopold and some shoppin for books and gifts at Bombay Store and the evening was spent with a very good friend of mine with who I studied durin my colleges days and beat this, he is one guy who knew it very early in life what he wanted to do, quit college and followed his passion and today he is one of the well knows guys in the industry and I'm sooo proud of him, like my friend put it, "I sound like a proud father" ;-) well I would see it as a proud friend.

Sun was breakfast by the sea front on Carter road, followed by an amazin lunch at the same friend who picked me up from the airport, again was treated to some awesome beer and snacks and conversation followed by lunch and then the icin was the dessert. Well I call it a payasam but she was callin it somethin which I can't recall ;-)

Well, by now had my another good friend comin up from Pune to meet up with me, so we head to pick him up at the mall where he is waitin on us and guess what, the women folk end up shoppin and I hope they like what I suggested :P and then we decided to head to HardROCK Cafe and well thanks to all of us goin there for the first time, had no clue where it was, while we were figurin out our way, had already my ex-roomie again a good friend waitin on us. We took about an hour and half to figure out our way and all the while the poor chap was waitin on us but I guess the crowd (read and us ;-)) and the music made up for it. It was one hell of a night and we enjoyed every bit of it.

After we got kicked out of the place ;-) at half past one in the night, we hitched a cab back home but thanks to our friend, kinda ensured that we had a long time and we kept on signin away to glory, poor cab driver. Well then reached home, packed and went to bed at half past three and then got up at quater to five to rush to the airport, and yeah made it on time for the flight :-)

It was three night and days of AWESOME fun and thanks to all the friends who went out of their way to make it happen. You folks make me feel that I should keep returnin to Mumbai :-) and I hope I can sometime soon :-)
