My First Mumbai Rain !

I was so excited to share this one that I didn't even wait to get home and started writing it in the local train on my way itself. So lets quickly get into the flashback..


Why am I calling it my first Mumbai Rain ? I have been in Mumbai for 4 years, 2 months and 9 days. Have survived and celebrated 4 monsoons. But knowing the mood swings of Mumbai Rains, I always had an umbrella. Therefore.. Though I have had my first drizzly rain day, my first flood-y rain day, my first rainy day office holiday, my first stranded-on-road-for-hours rainy day... But I never had my no-umbrella-hence-the-rains day !

Just in the morning I thought, "The sky seems to lack clarity of thoughts, should I just carry one of the umbrellas." But rejected the thought maybe because of the hope to get wet finally ! (In rains, due to rains! #notdirty ) And it finally happened. ! Oh ! By the way did I mention I am a monsoon fan and love rains ? Even though I have the hair that hates Monsoon.
So I came out of my office after rejecting a lift by my colleague in her car. (yes, 'her') from office to my home, as I had made my traffic predictions that stated the local trains to be the logical option. . . And next I was standing under a shade analysing the probabilities of rains stopping for a min so I could get to the station. Now what ! But still, I decided to face it. I walked ahead... leaving everyone behind... head held low and covered with a scarf.. The temperature was dropping, the winds started going wild, people around started to murmur, those with the umbrellas stared at me.. 

On a normal rainy day, without an umbrella, you would find it easier to stay dry as you can walk under other's umbrellas and just so you know, people in Mumbai have umbrellas of the size of a tent. This is another place where, Size Does Matter ! First is clothing...

(Aww you cute lil pervert...) 
However today was no such day, because no one was ready for it. (No I am talking about Monsoons. Get back to the original topic !) There was only one fourth umbrella available per metre square area. So getting wet was inevitable. But it was such a delightful experience that I didn't realise, a guy had offered half of his umbrella to cover me but I was too excited by the rains to notice. Besides he was not even an inch cute. ( #nooffence #notjudging ) So managing between one puddle to other I managed to reach the station, while experiencing the touch of those round little drops of water.. So cold.. So pure.. 
Rest can be left to imagine. Thanks to Bollywood !

Conclusion.. Few things in life must be experienced when possible, few others should be planned and experienced and rest should be left to fate.. 

What followed was the humidity, describing which will make my post uninteresting. And since the rains were orgasmic, you can imagine what followed..

Why I won't give up what I love ...

I like to say and believe in the fact that I have control over my life. But there is one thing that never allows me to boast freely. There is one thing I can never get hold of. One thing I could… Never…. Ever…. Control. My gluttony ! It’s not that I am hungry throughout the day or don’t eat proper food. Even if I did follow a healthy eating regime, nothing could stop me from indulging into another meal if it evoked my senses. That’s the reason I don’t surf Facebook much at night, as most of the pages I follow are gourmet related and seeing those videos and posts while I am about to sleep after seemingly having eaten enough, would be a torture. I can actually hear my stomach rumble. Last week, when I fell seriously ill, I couldn’t bear the separation from the “good” food. Just imagine the pain of the girl who eats 4-5 restaurant made meals per week.  Once we fall ill, the next step that most of us take is the worst we could do to ourselves. That is, depriving oneself of the fo

Just Some Girl's Diary !

Life is like that. I spent the last few months thinking, why am I so lazy and why am I unable to change that. Couldn't figure out, until one day, when my sister mentioned how puberty changed so many elements of her life. The most prominent one being her hair texture changing from straight to wavy ones. As I lay down on my bed, eating a FOOD ITEM that I shouldn't be mentioning lest that gives you a craving too. No that’s an incredible natural phenomenon ! Only I know how many pizzas I’ve gobbled while watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Sometimes, I even develop acidity post dinner if I watch those 30 sec recipe videos of Facebook. So…. Sorry for mentioning the food item. Where was I .. Yes.. I finally realised, I haven’t actually been lazy, as I used to be a lot more active before I hit puberty. Maybe my puberty made me a procrastinator. So a few days later I got the motivation to change that. I got all ready to finish stuff quicker, dividing them into smaller tasks, motivated for exer

⏲ 5 - 7 Min Read This quarantine period has left us bored already, so I’ll come directly to the point without wasting any more of your ti..... Well, I think right now, it’s a touchy topic, this analysis of how much time we’re wasting and that’s exactly why you should read this, because the next most important thing to save, after time is... not money, it’s relations. But you’re already spending too much time on that staying in, so I’ll come to the third most important thing.. Money ! If the current scenario has taught us something, it’s that  nothing is permanent.  And for a lot of us, working on project basis, not even our jobs and flow of income is permanent.  Even if you have job security, the economies are so affected right now that it isn’t something you can rely on. So, why not take our finances in our hands. Ab nahi to kab? This post isn’t about investments, stock markets and all those scary places. All that we’ll try right now, is to generate the will
