Guntur wasi à Hyderabadi à Mumbaikar!!
Slow but, a gradual transition - The reason for the second changeover is my intern @ IIT-B, sticking me for two months on the campus. Mumbai captured this sojourner’s soul, totally. I being a , “New girl in the city “ , really liked its in-built adaptability, well-disciplined traffic, the way it housed people of all shades under a single roof, hundreds of pigeons all over the city, its swishy metro-culture, typical local trains, The Indian burger [vada pav ], and most importantly, its drizzling rains. The only thing in this urban centre, which impresses anyone who come to rest in her lap is, Marine drive. The same happened with me too, Love at first sight!!
Face the sea, and leave your feet swinging to the cool breezes. Your hair starts taking a shapeless figure, and your eyes flicker to the swift winds, it is then, you are taken to the imaginary world amidst the sea. Those waves relieve all your pains, wash away the past nightmares, and recharge your spirits. If you really want to make some productive time for your soul, it is one place where I would strictly recommend. Coz it’s where we can start exploring our self, when left with a domain, surrounded by water, leaving privacy for our thoughts. Teaches us many ethical, philosophical and social aspects, all of them terminating at one single point, Oneness!!
Waves, in a way, teach that, nothing lasts forever, and all aspects of life like pain, gain, come and go, but it is only our virtues that stay back within us. Excerpts from Sidhartha, By Herman Hesse.
There are many magnificent structures in this city, where we find our connectivity. The Gate Way of India , The ultra-famous, Hotel TAJ, Elephanta Caves with an hour-journey into the sea, the Juhu beach, Haji Ali Darga, Sidhivinayak and Mahalakshmi temples, the Badra-Wohrli sea link , and lastly IIT-B campus. This being the 1st IIT campus I striding into, becharmed me to the core. It’s only the 1st impression that gives us a 2nd chance!!
Let’s see, how far I am gonna utilise this chance…
Keeping my fingers crossed!!
