Today while passing through Kurla, on the side of one of the busiest roads in Mumbai, I saw a man lying flat on his back [the photo above is just for the sake of it - not the actual] . On first sight I thought he was dead! But when I realized that his eyes were open staring at the sky and the passersby gave him nasty looks - I realized that he was drunk. This is as of 7.00 PM in the evening!
This man lying as if dead will not rise until early morning when he slowly gathers sense and faces a tumouronic hangover! There are millions of such people in India - they die everyday!! Isn't it better for us to grant them a death-wish? Isn't it more inhuman to allow them to die everyday than to kill them in a homicide at one go?? I wonder ...........................
Meanwhile it has been another day to call off!! The proceeding to shift to a 'new home' are in full swing - gave an advance of Rs 4000 today. So its going to be right there in Hiranandani - one of the most beautiful townships in Mumbai - a 2 BHK flat that I share with Sharad and Anish!! A swimming pool/ gym is a part of the complex and the station is gonna be about 15 minutes from here. But we have already started worrying about the bed, cupboard, table, dhobi and most importantly food !!! While in NITIE we never realized how easy life was, in spite of being in Mumbai.
Anyway, with a house in HN, I am still gonna be close enough to NITIE so as to visit this heavenly bliss as often as I want. After spending a grilling day in the heat of Mumbai, seeing drunkards and beggars alike along the road, its a great feeling to sit by the pond, to remind oneself that life has a beautiful side and the natural beauty is what one can allow himself/herself to be intoxicated with!
Yes, Nikhil...The Pond and the lawns are bliss. I like the view from the balcony of the newly built guest house.
