IN LOVE WITH MUMBAI..

MUMBAI- City of dreams, City of lives, City full of spirits……


I remember coming in this city in April 2006. I came from Kolkata. And I still remember how much I revolted against coming to Mumbai because I do not wanted to leave the beautiful city of Kolkata and come into this MEAN MEAN CITY… That was the image of Mumbai on my mind... But that was what fate had for me... Had to come here… But at that time didn’t know how beautiful life would be here…

After coming into this city another step was taking admission in school. KENDRIYA VIDYALYA, MANKHURD… Yea that was the name of my school. When I first went to take my adm in school, still remember, some accident took place in Vashi Gaon and driver said that we can’t go from this side because of some nuisance. I was like if starting is like this God knows what will happen further… Then somehow reached the school, and at that time didn’t know that I will be spending 4 yrs in it which will have so many things in surprise for me…
Then time started flying away… Even I started running with fast paced life of Mumbai... Never realized how and when I got used to it… But seriously life was horrible at the starting… People around were terrible, mean, ruthless, selfish… It was tough time coping up… But only one thing was on track MY STUDIES

It took me two damn years to settle down with everything… Finally decided to leave the school coz that was the only reason I hated Mumbai so much… Thanks to certain people… Finally decided to leave the school but something struck me and I turned away the thought of leaving it…. And little did I know that it would be correct decision…
Stepped into two most beautiful years of my life… Class 11th starting was not good but I didn’t know what waited for me ahead… As it proceeded, came in touch with many good friends… Then came a special person in my life who actually made me fall in love with Mumbai… Class 12th was even better then 11th …
 
And am still thankful to that person who made me realized apart from some people there were quite beautiful things about this city… I was never familiar with the better part of this city… This city can teach u all the important lessons of your life and make u independent… The other thing that made me fall for this city is its HIGH SPIRITS… Whatever happens, however big happens, this city never stops and that’s very beautiful lesson for life…
It’s almost four and a half years staying in this city but has learned so many things about life, about people and everything…. And now don’t wanna leave this city…

LOVE U MUMBAI.........

ANGEL ON EARTH...

Mother, Mom, Mamma, Ma -Just take a while from your busy schedule, sit back and think.. Do we really understand the real meaning behind these words. And the answer is "NO". Because we wont ever understand it.

But there are two words which can describe her and they "SELFLESS LOVE". To be frank no one in this world does anything for anyone without any expectations, but she does everything without expecting anything.

She wakes up in the morning, when everyone else is asleep does her work and goes to bed after completing her work and seeing that everyone's things are done. We fight with her endless times, but at the end of the day, she is the one to whom we are gonna go with all our problems. She just gives a hug and everything seems so perfect in this world.

She never waits for Childrens' Day to shower her love on us then why do we, all of a sudden, shower loads of love on her on Mothers' Day... She helps us out in hiding our notorious deeds from our dad. ;) The thing that really hurts me is we never become an option in her priority list, then why does she becomes an option at times.

I still remember the day when me and my mom met with an accident. I was in class 4th or 5th. We were coming back from my computer classes and a cow blocked our way and scooty got unbalanced. She balanced the scooty on one leg and told me to get down. But after this she got a fracture in her foot. I still remember how much i cried that night.

This was just one sacrifice i mentioned but there are lots of things which she does for us and sadly we never notice them.

Just once in a while, hug her and tell "I LOVE YOU MOM" and see the spark in her eyes......

YOUNG INDIA AND CHANGES

Few days ago just was watching "Rang De Basanti". In that Madhavan said that "No country is perfect, we have to make it perfect". And this really depends on the youth of our country. To change anything, we first need to change ourselves and our point of view towards anything. Todays' youth, i.e. "US", wants to change, but its the system that keeps on coming in between. People say that to change the system, we have to be in the system. But the ral problem is people of our country are so allergic to change. They are just so used to everything. It really doesnt matter to them.


For Example:"METER JAM" campaign conducted on 12th of August and by THE YOUTH. They decided to boycott rickshaws and taxis, but there were quite a less number of people who actively participated in it. Because it really doesnt matter to them as far as their comfort is not disturbed. We need to change our attitude and that is not thinking for oneself but for everyone...

We really cant blame our system because above all its our fault. Just by burning candles and taking out rallies doesnt mean anything because that "JOSH" remains for sometime and eventually everthing fades off. My question is WHY.. WHY PEOPLE BECOME SO ADAPTED AND ADJUSTED TO EVERYTHING ?? WHY THEY DONT DARE TO CHANGE ANYTHING THEY FEEL IS WRONG ??? Sitting on a couch and blaming everyone is very easy but being in the system, making our hands dirty for everyones good is very difficult.

This topic has exactly no perfect conclusion, because at the end there is not a single person to blame but a whole lot of people and that includes everyone... ME, YOU and EVERY SINGLE PERSON OUT THERE...
