My first days in Mumbai!!!

Been in Mumbai for a while now... 15 days of living in this city and i can for sure say that am already loving every bit of it... learnt so much about the city, about the people and about the life here already... but i must say this city has a very amazing charm attached to it... u can become addicted to this city really soon and would love every bit of it... the good and bad of this city all get onto you once you become a Mumbaikar... the friends i had here, the friends i made here and the nice people i keep meeting here... all make me feel very nice about it... a city is also about its people is indeed very true... be it the lovely Worli sea link... or the gateway of india... or the amazing view from my window each one of it is fabulous... the best part of this story is the freedom i get here... i am not used to it but i like it all... i am sure if each one of us is given so much freedom we would learn how not to misuse it... i love getting drenched to the core in the rain and i am so happy i have already done that so so many times here... yesterday was probably the best rain drenching experience till today... and the super good chai while getting drenched was unbeatable... i remember when i was here for the world cup here last year my buddy told me that this city is worth so much that you would come here and never want to go back anytime... it would engulf you and would never ever want to leave this city... he was so true... wish i could tell him how much this city and its people mean to me now There are lot of things that i have learnt in my 15 day stay and i keep learning new things almost everyday... living by myself at least for like 2 weeks now, means a lot to me... i do miss Chennai and all my friends that I had here... but Mumbai has never made me feel lonely... never made me miss certain important things in my life and am really really happy and excited about it... even as i write this am sitting by window... with the lovely rains and the amazingly beautiful hills by my side i feel this is the kind of environment that can make a better write... that can inspire me to write more... that can make me feel that there are all nice things and nice people and nice things about me and i should write about it... I do miss my family a lot... they still mean a lot to me and will always be so... it would be great to visit them once a while and still be happy being by myself when i need it the most... maybe i could get some friend of mine come over and we could a language exchange program or maybe go to some dance classes or maybe even go to the gym... i have so much time in hand now and all this and more inspires to me fullfill all that i like and wish to do...

Been here for a month now

today as i sit and write about 'mumbai' i am like a little more than a month old to it. being a newbie i have already started loving this place. mumbai has some 'magnetic charm' attached to it. thats why they say this is 'mumbai meri jaan'! mumbai has become home now. met some really amazing people. made some really good friends. there is a positive effect to life in this city. this place made me realize one very important thing in life. there is nothing like 'bad' anywhere in the world. there is only 'good' and then there is something that is 'not good'. something which gives you a nice feeling and makes me you feel positive from inside is 'good'. and something which teaches you a lesson and makes you realize that you need to become good at judging people is 'not good'. thanks to 'couchsurfing' i have made a lot of buddies here. this city doesnt seem to be alien to me anymore. i have truly and genuinely fallen in love with this city. i must say that it was a good decision that i took to move and settle here. as i write this blog there are so many things that are running in my head. there are people, there are things, and there are so many thoughts that run past my mind. if feels great to be in a city where you have all the freedom you need to enjoy living in it. i do miss family but then living with them is something i dont miss anymore since i have always wanted to be by myself. i would surely keep visiting them often and continue to pray to GOD that they are happy and safe wherever they are.
