And for a few Wednesday Worries and a bit of relaxation

Like the banning of the cyclone in Mumbai by vested interests just because its name being improper has started an sms frenzy

Like a cyclone already hitting Mumbai for the last 2 or 3 days for no reason or rhyme like a song out of time

"Distinguished" people brazenly enacting a scene out of a potboiler on various channels on the pretext of one thing or the other

Like the various projects going on in Mumbai ---Mumbai raste pe aa gayi hai! literally!

Bottlenecks everywhere...traffic jams...cars kissing each other...buses ramming others...bikers screeching ere here there...wild frenzy---systematic chaos--noise pollution--nasal cavities going bust due to the CFC gases

Like the soliciting that takes place on busy signals so unabashedly...pity those pounds of flesh which are sold to virtue, for a penny or many

Always a favourite with me GNR and November Rain whence I first heard it in 1991 but never thought that a full 18 years later Mumbai will experience it in actuality!

Like changing seasons changing people changing frustrations changing landscapes changing corruption trends [read increasing..too Custom-ary]

Like a victim of old age man doesnt get medical insurance beyond the age of 65 years in our country

A sad state of geriatric affairs

Like feeling better to be a rogue..than to be a saint in this third class world of hypocrisy

Like feeling better after having whisky rum vodka gin tadimadi ooorak feni rather than be a teetotaller which I am

Like feeling better after a puff of smoke than be a non-smoker

The Clean-Up vans stink man

Problems to ponder and to look yonder

Feel like a maggot trying to wriggle free from this world
