1. Strange faces...
Expressing
ANGER, DISGUST, BOREDOM, ANGUISH, CONTEMPT, SADNESS, HELPLESSNESS...
i smile
at the million stories told
amused
they have never been heard

2. The world of Mumbai locals...
i. Would the Mumbai small/home industries survive without such a marketplace?
ii. Would Mumbai expand at such an alarming pace?
iii. Would the molestation rates fall drastically without its grace?


3. A city of strong emotions...
You Love it, Hate it,
Hate to Love it (but do!)
and Love to Hate it.
Neutral- You just can't be!


The plane swooped down like a sea gull circling its domain.
Little-coloured diwali lights strung like tales welcomed me.

The city has always been a temptress-
"And all that's best of dark and bright,
Meet in her aspect and her eyes".

Shes alive and hard to get.
But in the end, she's home...
