as i prepare to leave mumbai, and moveto sunny goa..or wherever the winds of change take me, i realise that mumbai will never leave me, even when i leave it.
whenever it will rain ,i will always wonder if it is raining in mumbai , and if sion and parel junction are already underwater.
every attested xerox copy will remind me of joshi madam.
every cutting chai, of the college canteen[thoughj i doubt that there will be a term as cutting]
even the rocky beaches will remind me of bandra band stand.

harrowed interns of salagre
funny quotes always remind me of gr kothari's anatomy corridor blackboard.
dal makhani of college lunches.

sunday lunches will always remind me of mess ke uncle,chicken biryani will remind me of mess uncle. pink falloodas will remind me of the hostel mess..
mongini cakes will remind me of hostel birthdays,streetwear lipsticks and tribal wear earrings from lifestyle will remind me of hostel birthdays.
