Why I write about BOMBAY?

Bombay..1991, my first time.. very filmy, very dramatic.

Intimidating, scaring, inviting, exciting, nurturing, caring, loving, respecting, daring, motivating.... I have lived every emotion in this city. Alone, with strangers, with acquaintances, with work associates, with friends, with family.

Bombay for conferences, Bombay for sourcing, Bombay for fun, Bombay for party, Bombay for Marriage, Bombay for work, Bombay for career, Bombay for hopping, Bombay for posting...and then Bombay for a home.

I have been infatuated with, in love with and in a long time relationship with Bombay. My heart was in Hyderabad and soul in Bombay. I don't know how and when this city adopted me as her own. I am so comfortable in this city despite being born and bred miles away up north.

My work has taken me into various places within this city and the writer in me has absorbed so much from every nook and corner. I like to travel by public transports, walk in the bylanes, photograph buidings and talk to people. If my work can contribute to the society in a positive way by changing the things or by appreciating the things we should, I must write about these.

Bombay...Mumbai....whats in a name? A lot... and yet nothing. There is plenty in the people who make this place what it is. My blog is about people, places and popular issues about this city.

I solicit positive interaction from my readers, solicit suggestions so that we can return the favour to this city that shapes many dreams.
