Krishnashtami

Today is Krishnaashtami / Janmashtami /Gokulashtami. The Mumbai spirit is so infectious !!! I am so lucky to be here now. There is such a wonderful feeling prevalent. I just rejoice the sight of people shouting, yellling, moving in hordes, blingy uniforms and a truly wonderful JOSH. I just watched all this from the office balcony during lunch hours. Its so thrilling. Making you want to join them and scream and roam and have just plain good time. I came back home and watched some of the live telecasts. There was a telecast from Thane, where there were couple of SPanish folks who were trying to get into formations and break the Dahi-Handi. I felt a lump in my throat. United by the spirit of joy, here are these people, who dont even speak the language, who do not know what is it being done for, but they are here, to drench in the nectar of sheer fun and experience. The way those senior Spanish people were guiding their young counterparts, on giving an awesome performance, I was just moved. I had tears in my eyes. Whenever they played Marathi songs, those Spanish folks roared and danced like hey were having so much fun. I just love the way this city makes everybody feel a part of it. Although I did not witness any of it, but it feels great to be here. Just be here, knowing its all happening somewhere near me. I am falling in love with Mumbai. I know its love because, everyday, I feel more woozy about this place. :) Never realised I could ever love Mumbai. For now, I am going to stop my ramblings and return to basking in the comforting arms of Mumbai.

Sick Pathetic People, Urggghhh

Just now I received some matrimonial request from a Marathi guy on a matrimonial website. before I could even decline his request I got his chat. It was galactically stupid of me to chat with him, but still I told him very politely that I can not accept his request. He turned abusive man. Calling me narrow minded person and what not kind of shit. Idiot. I mean just how stupid people can be !!! Can not even appreciate other people's preferences and he thinks he can get married !!!

If I look at it, a different way, he was so impressed with my profile that he could not bear the thought that I have rejected him. ;) He was rejected by what he thought could be his future life partner !!! Wow !!! Lollzzz... Such a loser anyways.

Swami, help him grow yaar. Says that he has been at US for so long. I dont think he has left US, they must have booted him out. ANyway, you have to take care of his well being. He thinks he is marrigeable, I pray for a smart and matured companion for him.
