Mumbai...The City that Never Sleeps!

 So, the city is known for tough strugglers, right? 
Coming here to make it big...Here's the tough car that you own once you have made it big here...in the city of dreams....HUMMER...humming success all the way....

 At Bandstand, where everybody enjoys Bird Watching...So I Asked them.. Pussy Cat , Pussy Cat, Where Have You Been? and , they purred coyly, and replied.... "I had been to the Bandra to meet the Suburb Queen ! :P :P

 The Roads in Monsoon creating the Mirror Image !

 Reminds me of the 26th July horror!

 Rajiv Gandhi Setu... Oh My God..No it's not the replica of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link..it's just the official name of it! :P


 The breather.... The Best BillBoard in the city... Take a look at it... sure to relieve you...of all the tensions!

The Scariest Sight you will come across in the City....just as you enter the brick and mortar street after the Marine Lines drive!
My eyes fell on this mannequin and I almost fainted thinking it was some ghastly figure! 

The Air, The Water and The Soil !

The mesmerisingly lush green cover of the land...disappearing bit by bit with every passing moment. Doesn't the shot render our decision of felling of trees to fulfil our urban dream, ridiculous? It does for me.


As I look into the sand, it all comes back to me....
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's words,
"Lives of great men all remind us 
    We can make our lives sublime, 
  And, departing, leave behind us 
    Footprints on the sands of time; "


Nobody could have summed up this snap as meticulously as W.H. Auden...,
"The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good."


 The Boat Ride at Nainital is simply not worth missing....not for the peace of mind that it gifts you but as you row the boat, gently... you do not need to even make an attempt to listen to the ELEMENT OF NATURE calling out to you... Water...in it's purest form....talking to you... It's sheer bliss !

 SUNRISE, defined by millions of people in millions of ways...but, for me...it's simply the lovely beginning of yet another busy day..which comes to you...with umpteen RAYS...of Hope...Treasure them !
