Missing You Mumbai …………….
Heyy Mumbai,
On this valentine day when I was thinking that no one is left to whom I have not wished Happy Valentines day suddenly my mind slapped me and said to me “Dude how could you forget your love, “Mumbai”, come on get up and wish her.” I suddenly realized I have not wished you. So I decided to wish you but don’t wanted to do any typical thing. After deep thinking I got idea of writing letter to you. But expressing all emotions about you in one letter was not easy task so it took 8 days to write this letter to you please don’t mind. As Shahrukh khan have said Everyday is Valentine Day so whenever you will get this letter consider that day as valentine day for you and me.
To,
My Dear Mumbai City,
How are you? I hope you must be fine. Missing me? I know I know there are millions of people to whom you look after so even you don’t miss me I don’t mind at all. But you have very special place in my mind so I am missing you so much.
Whenever I talked about you with my friends they told me why they don’t like you. But I don’t mind it all I like and love you like anything. My friends asked me what I like about you and I become speechless because whenever this question comes in front of me thousand feelings started dancing in my mind. I have no words to express what I like about you.
You remember on 9th September 09 a magical date 09-09-09 brought me to you for my job. I was so excited to come to you and finally I got that opportunity. Initially I felt it will be so difficult to run on the edges of the clock but you taught it and I will be thankful for it for whole life. You really made me understand value of time.
You taught me accept other person as human being irrespective of his language, cast and color. I think that was best lesson you taught me believe me now my perception of approaching any person have drastically changed.
The way you taught me fighting spirit usake toh kya kehne??? And that is quite obvious because after staying at mumabi if you can’t learn fighting spirit then you stay at Mumbai is wasted.
Mumbai you will find it very funny but because you I taught how to wash your own dirty socks and wash own plates. I really become self dependant. Trust me I was pampered child at my home all things used to be like remote operated toys I just need to click the button and thing used happen. But you taught me how tough it is to manage so small things of home .From that day my respect toward my mom increase by 1000% who used manage all this for me with smile on her face.
I remember I used to work at office till 2 o clock in the night but you ensured that I am not sleeping hungry at night. By whatever late I used go to home you always ensured that there is something available may be on cycle food stall or at any restaurant to eat for me.
You showed beautiful sights of Glamour, Prosperity and Power. You taught me to dream to become remarkable by others. That is why now you have become benchmark for prosperity and progress. But your distinct feature is you also show mirror of reality while showing dreams of prosperity. So person who gets success at your land will never lose his feet from earth.
Ohhh I am getting very emotional but really these are my very true emotions which I can’t hide.
Well do you remember how I performed in front of 500 audiences at Grand Hyatt Hotel, Santacruz as singing and dancing performer at my company event and I won title of “Most Happening New Face 2009” That moment was really very awesome. That’s your magic Mumbai that you give taste of success to everyone who truly dreams and strives for it.
Well how I can forget the joy of catching locals, starting morning with wonderful company of RJ Jeeturaaj, enjoying ice candy at Juhu beach, rushing to Dadar early in the morning on bike for taking blessings of Siddhivinayak and coming back before office hours, Soothing touch of sea sand and relaxing voice of sea waves. Ohh I am becoming so emotional and nostalgic….anyways some day or other I wanted to tell you this I hope you are not getting bored.
You know what as mother give birth to a child after nine months; you gave me new birth when I came back after staying nine months with you. Today in Pune I am enjoying my life very nicely but still staying in Mumbai is source of great fun and satisfaction for me and will be there forever.
Adhish………..
